I live near collinsville and edwardsville Illinois and we have misplaced (lost) the only flip key and remote we got with a used 2003 x-type that we purchased. Any advice on where to get reasonable replacements would be appreciated. If I have to go to a dealer it will have to be towed 40 miles and will cost 500 plus towing. That really sucks!
Thanks!

 

rjcl, I would first start out with seeing if any of the local locksmiths have the capability of programming a new Jaguar key. They will need to access the computer and install the proper numbers into the computer. Some will be able to, others will not. From there, ask them if you can supply your own key or must you use their key. If you can use your own key, then you can get on e-bay and order either a brand new key with the unused blade or you will have to buy a key fob and then buy a new blade separately. From there, if you can get your own keyfob, you will want one with the part code of "1X43-15K601-AD". That will have the correct numbers for your car to accept.

 

Thanks Thermo! So far I have not been able to find a locksmith that can do the job. if anyone has info on someone near St. Louis that can it would be a great help.

 

I was wondering about this too. Is it a fairly common thing locksmiths can do? (Being a rarer brand of car, especially in some areas) The nearest dealership where I live is about an hour from here, so maybe the locksmiths there might be able to help me if no one can program it where I live. Would you have to get the key cut at Jaguar though? What if you don't have your key?

 

If you have no keys, I think the only option is the dealer.

However I believe you would need to go to them with proof of ownership before they start the process.

If you have the key code you could probably get a blade cut which will enable you to get into the car then get a locksmith to program a new fob.

 

I agree that is probably the way to go.

Certainly it is what is required in the UK.

I suspect few folks have the T code for their car.
My car came with a bar code with the T code stuck on the back of one of the flip keys.

Of course Jaguar should know what the T code is for your car.
The original car supplying dealer may be able to find it on their database.
I would expect a personal visit with proof of ownership will be required wherever you go.
A visit to a local Jaguar dealer hopefully will then permit him to get the code from another Jaguar dealer.

I obtained a printout of my cars detail specification from my LOCAL dealer ( not the supplying dealer). It states " Key number Not authorised".

Even then , getting a key cut will only allow you to open the door.

Getting a basic key will not solve your problems.
Many may not be aware of the following which I assume applies to other X types.
If I open my car by putting the key in the door lock and manually unlocking it , after opening the door ,after a short while the alarm sounds.
I can silence it by hitting the open button on my remote.

 

Does it have to be 1X43-15K601-AD? 1X43-15K601-AE will not work?
Thanks,
Rick

 

Or ... as per the Owner's Manual ... 20 seconds after unlocking door with key, until alarm sounds or until you place key in ignition. If key goes in after alarm starts, it will stop the alarm. If key goes in during the time delay, it overrides and the countdown and alarm will not sound.

Best wishes,
Ken

 

I only have one key and am worried that tuis could happen. What's the best way to get a second key and program on an 05?

 

The instructions apply IF you have proper fully working keys BUT

Have you tried this with a key that has no chip in it or a chip that is not programmed to the car ???

This will be the situation when you first get a key cut before any coding is done.

I may be able to confirm the situation tomorrow.
I have some "non logo" basic keys that have been cut but not yet programmed.
These will be my emergency keys and look a bit like the USA keys used for hotel staff to park your car.
(In the UK, these keys, if lost, would be assumed to be what are very very common Ford keys so would never be associated with a Jaguar)

rjcl, it should work as the AD and AE are simply 2 different revisions of the same part. But, may want to check with the dealership and see what they say just to make sure.

 

I found a place to get that key fob with a blank key at a decent price, but the dealer will not tell me if that is the right part/frequency. I found a locksmith in st. louis that will cut a key but they want $150 to order the code from the VIN number. $159 for a key, $35 to code the key and that doesn't include a fob. Oh yeah and $59 to come out. The delaer would code a fob and key for about $600 but wouldn't give me a solid number because it would be 1.5 to 3 hrs. of labor probably. There must be a more reasonable way.

 

I find that is a very bad attitude.
I would suggest that the vast majority of keys in the USA are for the US frequency.
I have looked at some of the large number of UK Ebay items for sale.

I always understood that cloning was an incomplete solution to having only one key.
Confirmation of that is in an item on Ebay( at the bottom of this posting).
Only when you have TWO properly coded keys can you self program the chip for up to two additional keys or re program your existing keys.


If you have no keys then I think you are in for a big expense at a main dealer.
I would be interested to know how a local guy can solve it.
Hook up a PC to the car and run a copy of Jaguars software?

I have now tried out these keys.
I put the key in the door lock and opened the door.
Then I put the key in the ignition and turned it which lit all the lights as normal and then the alarm sounded.

Hi! I'm new to the forum
I'm trying to get a new key and fob for my car, I only have 1 now and wish to get a cheap one from eBay but I see the fob has a different frequency depending on the country and I'm not sure what is the frequency in Japan, how can I find out ?
I see a few comments here saying 315 MHz but some others say 433HMz so now I'm confuse... Someone wrote you can tell with the VIN number if so how can you tell ?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks!
Hector

 

I opened my FOB and found that the IC had come unsoldered. Also, there is black goop under and around the most used buttons, lock-unlock.

 

Don't mess around, go to the source, i.e. Jaguar Head Office in Coventry U.K.
They keep records of every jaguar ever sold.
You will need to supply your Vin number and proof of registration.
They will then send you 1 or 2 keys. They will also send you a transmitter key fob if you want. They will also cut the keys for your car in the U.K. Cost per key including cutting is about U.S.140.plus postage. I have just done it. Cottonwood. Ted.
The email address is:- jclassic@jaguarlandrover.com

 

can anyone tell me where I can find my key code

 

Key code as in what?

If you're inquiring about the tibbe key cut code, you can get it from a dealer with VIN and proof of ownership.

 

do you know how much roughly it will cost to get the code
