Why You Need an Additional Key Fob

Operating with a single key fob places your vehicle at risk of immobilisation if that key becomes lost, damaged or stolen. An additional key fob acts as an instant backup, restoring access and ignition without delay. It also reduces wear on your existing remote and adds resale value by providing a complete key set. Jaguar Land Rover vehicles rely on advanced immobiliser and keyless entry modules (KVM, BCM) that require precise programming. We deliver a straightforward, dealer‑grade solution at a fraction of main dealer costs.

What Our Service Includes

• Genuine key fob supply – We order a brand‑new, Virgin‑state remote key fob matched to your specific vehicle’s VIN and chassis number. No second‑hand or cloned parts ever.
• Precision blade cutting – Your new emergency key blade receives a factory‑accurate cut that operates all door locks and the glovebox perfectly.
• Full immobiliser and remote programming – Using genuine JLR SDD/Pathfinder diagnostic platforms, our technicians code the transponder, immobiliser handshake and remote central locking. The vehicle recognises the new fob exactly as the original.
• Keyless entry / Smart Key activation – If your vehicle features Keyless Entry (PEPS), we configure the new fob’s passive functionality so that walk‑away locking and push‑button start operate seamlessly.
• Validation of all existing keys – We verify that every key—old and new—works in unison, with no conflicts or dashboard warnings.
• Post‑service security check – We perform a full diagnostic scan to confirm the Body Control Module and Keyless Vehicle Module accept the new key without fault codes.

How Our JLR Key Programming Works

1. Vehicle identification – You provide your registration number and 17‑digit VIN. We confirm the exact key specification from JLR’s central database.
2. Key procurement – We order the correct genuine remote fob from the OEM supply chain. Every key arrives blank, with a unique pre‑coded immobiliser chip ready for programming.
3. Blade cutting – Using your vehicle’s factory key code, we laser‑cut the emergency blade to a tolerance of ±0.02 mm.
4. On‑site or workshop programming – Our technician connects the JLR‑approved diagnostic interface to your vehicle’s OBD port. The system syncs the new key into the immobiliser module and gateway, enabling all remote functions within 30‑60 minutes.
5. Final delivery – You receive the additional key fob, a full demonstration, and a printed functionality report.
