My gf has a xtype but has no spare key I can order a blank key with chip in it but do have to have the dealer program it or can I do it myself its just a basic key with no key fob

 

The transponder is in the fob, not the key.

Jaguar X Type Information - Program Remote Key Fob

Important Note :-All the fobs that you wish to use Must be paired at the same time. Every time you operate the key as in step 5 above the code will be changed, previously programmed fobs will no longer work unless you pair them all at the same time.

 

I dont need the fob just want a spare key it has the transponder in it Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/302320324758

 

I read the article if I buy 2new key fobs have them cut and then program them how it says they will start the car?

 

The x-type blade key mounted in the fob is the only one that will work with an x-type. They make single tibbey keys with the RFI in the key head but the Hertz is wrong for the car. Get the switchblade fob that is known to be compatible for your x-type.

 

So thats all no need is the fobs and can program em my self

 

To be very clear = the bottom portion (push buttons, door, etc.) can be programmed to operate any X type by following the programming directions found in this forum. The upper key portion contains the security transponder unit and must be programmed to your specific car by a Jag dealer that has the correct equipment.

Dell Galley is correct the transponders are dealer level software for programming. There are some keyshop/locksmiths that have the software.
