I only have one key to my 07 S type How do I get the key code to have a key made Is the key code written or stamped anywhere in the car

 

Decoding a 6 cut tibbe key is pretty easy and with some practice you can break into a transit connect in about 30 seconds or less with the pick tool.

Call around till you find a dealer that has a cutting machine and then they’ll charge 35ish to cut and around 200 to program it. Mobile locksmiths can also do it but prices are about the same.

 

Depending on country locksmith can be much cheaper.

 

Isn't the required programming such that you have to have all keys present during the process? In other words, if you add a key, the car's security code is reset and any existing keys won't work if they weren't reprogrammed at the same time. Or was that just for fobs, not keys?

 

There are three parts to the s-type 'keys'.
The actual tibbe key blade. That is the easy part!
The transponder in the handle of the tibbe key.
The separate remote key fob.

As far as I know both these last two require re-programming of the car.

I am not sure if it can be done with anything other than the Jaguar SDD software.

Yes, you do need all the keys to add a new one.

Yes but get the blank cut first. Then do the programming.
I paid $10 to get each blank cut at the dealer. But he did require I bring the title down proving ownership BEFORE
he would even consider cutting the blank. An independent lock smith might not require this.
