Add Additional Key Fob to Your Land Rover or Jaguar

You need a spare smart key for your Land Rover or Jaguar, and you want a solution that matches factory performance without a time-consuming dealership appointment. Our dedicated Add Additional Key Fob service delivers exactly that. We supply and remotely program a genuine OEM key fob that integrates flawlessly with your vehicle’s keyless entry and immobiliser systems. Whether you have lost your only key or simply want a reliable backup, we ensure you receive a fully functional, dealer-quality key fob.

Why Choose LR‑Retrofit for Key Fob Programming?

Genuine OEM key fobs only. Every smart key we provide matches the original part number and security certificate of your vehicle. No aftermarket compromises.
Dealer-level diagnostic tools in expert hands. Our technicians operate the latest JLR-approved diagnostic platforms – SDD, Pathfinder, and DoIP – the same equipment Jaguar Land Rover dealerships use.
Full remote convenience. We perform the complete key addition process remotely through our secure JLR online services portal. You never need to leave your driveway.
Vehicle‑specific coding. We programme the key fob directly into your vehicle’s KVM (Keyless Vehicle Module), BCM (Body Control Module), and immobiliser data, guaranteeing correct rolling‑code synchronisation and start authorisation.
Security gateway access included. For 2018+ models with enhanced Secure Gateway protection, we handle the entire unlock and re‑lock procedure using official JLR subscriptions – no unsafe workarounds.

Technical Overview – How JLR Key Fob Addition Works

Every modern Land Rover and Jaguar relies on a tightly integrated security architecture. The smart key communicates with the KVM via encrypted LF and UHF signals. When you press the start button, the KVM challenges the key, verifies its transponder response, and passes the start authorisation to the BCM and powertrain control modules. To add an additional key fob successfully, a technician must write the new key’s unique ISK (Initial Secret Key) into the KVM’s memory and synchronise it with the immobiliser data stored in the BCM or Central Junction Box.

Our service replicates the factory key learning procedure. We remotely connect to your vehicle through a JLR DoIP VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) that you connect to the OBD port (we ship the interface to you if needed). Our engineers then execute the guided key addition routine, which securely enrols the new key and updates the vehicle’s security certificates. You keep full control – the session remains encrypted end to end, and we never store your vehicle’s long‑term immobiliser code.

Our Key Addition Process

You order the service. Provide your VIN, vehicle model year, and current key count. We check compatibility and confirm the exact OEM part number.
We source the key. If you order a complete key fob plus programming, we procure the correct genuine part directly from Jaguar Land Rover’s supply chain. If you already own a blank key, we will programme that key for you.
We ship the programming interface. You receive a pre‑configured JLR DoIP VCI with simple connection instructions. No complex software installation required.
We initiate the remote session. At a time that suits you, our technician connects to your vehicle via a secure VPN tunnel. In most cases the entire key programming procedure finishes within 30 minutes.
You test and confirm. We walk you through a quick test sequence – lock/unlock, passive entry (where equipped), and engine start. Only after you confirm full functionality do we consider the job complete.
We return your vehicle to standard state. We clear any temporary diagnostic flags and verify that all other stored keys continue to work perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to send any parts away?

No. Our remote programming method works with your vehicle exactly where it sits. You keep possession of your vehicle and all modules at all times.

Will you damage the original keys I still have?

Absolutely not. The JLR key learning procedure adds a new key without altering or disabling previously programmed keys. Your existing fobs remain fully operational.

How quickly will I receive a physical key?

We dispatch genuine OEM key fobs on the same day once you confirm the order. Most UK customers receive their key within 1‑2 working days.

Can you programme a customer‑supplied used key?

We generally recommend a new, blank OEM key to guarantee a clean cryptographic state. However, we can evaluate a used genuine key on a case‑by‑case basis if you already own one.
