Hi all, I know there are previous threads re this but, after reading them, I'm now totally confused, lol. In a nutshell, I recently bought a 2001 VDP in an auction and it only came with the valet key which I use to drive the car with - no problems there. However, I'd ideally like to have two regular keys along with the fobs. Can someone kindly tell me the straightforward steps to accomplish this? And I don't want to file down the valet key. Thanks in advance.

 

Take a copy of your Vehicle Title to a Jaguar Dealer.
Tell them you want 2 Master Keys.
Schedule to get the keys configured to the car.(including the Valet key you have)
ANY KEYS NOT PRESENT WILL BE DELETED.

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks so much motorcarman - just what I was looking for 🙂

 

There are other less expensive ways to get keys.
A forum member SONE can make the keys for you but you will need to find someone to configure them to the car.

Some locksmiths have the software and diagnostic device to accomplish this? as well as provide the cut keys.

I can configure keys but unless you are local to me and already have cut keys, it would be easier to get everything done locally to YOU.
Remember, the keys are not programmed to the car, the car is commanded to accept the keys.
The keys only transmit an RFID signal. They can't be 'told' anything.

 

Very helpful info... thx!
