The first Jaguar transponder key appeared in 1998 with the XJ and XK. Since 2000 all models manufactured by Jaguar use transponders. Jaguar transponder keys are high security specially cut key with angled cuts made by Tibbe.
There are 3 types of Jaguar transponder keys:
The basic purpose of Jaguar transponder key is to eliminate car theft. Without the proper programmed chip in the key, the fuel pump will be cut-off the fuel to the ignition and the car will not start.
The Jaguar immobilizer is an anti-theft system reside on the engine ECU. It prevents the car from starting when un-authorized key is used. This system uses a special digitally coded transponder chip in the key. When the key turned in the ignition, the chip emits an RFID signal with a digital identification and send it to the immmobilizer. If the ECU does NOT recognize this code, the ignition circuit shut down and the engine will not start.
Jaguar XJ8, S-Type 2001-2008 and X-Type 2002-2008 use a PATS key and immobilisation system. To learn more about PATS key read check our Ford key replacement page.
Since 2000 Jaguar use a Stealth Active anti clone theft immobiliser system which prevent cloning of keys! The Stealth Active system runs in the background of the immobilizer. When a car thief try to use a cloned key the dash presented an unauthorised mode alarm which prevents starting the vehicle.
Following are the list of Jaguar models that use transponders:
Jaguar XJ8, S-Type 2001-2008 and X-Type 2002-2008 that use PATS keys have an onboard interfa ce to duplicate keys by yourself. Duplicating keys for other models requires both a Tibbe key cutting machine and a special factory computer and software.
Jaguar uses the Stealth Active anti clone immobiliser starting from 2001, therefore cloning is possible until year 2000.
For this type of duplication, driver must have at least 2 functional keys. If only one key left, dedicated diagnostic tools and programmers are required.
The first thing to do when duplicating the key is to cut the metal blade using the T-Code. This T-Code is provided with every new Jaguar on a vary small tin or plastic plate.
If the T-Code is lost or misplaced, it can also be obtained from the manufacturer by the VIN. This done by a locksmith or the Jaguar dealer
Note - Ford dealership can also cut Tibbe keys.
The next thing to do is to program the key and remote using the following onboard procedure:
The last step of the duplication is to program the remote to lock/unlock the doors:
Using the VIN and the Jaguar IDS system the dealer or a locksmith can duplicate another key. For this, ALL functional keys should be programmed again along with the new key. Basically, this process erased all current keys from the cars computer and then all keys are programmed again. There is a limit of 5 keys at any given point in time for each vehicle.
Two important tips before buying a duplicate Jaguar key or remote:
It is possible to clone keys for Jaguar until the yuear 2000. Jaguar key cloning is a process of copying the key without having the car. The technician use the data embedded in the original transponder to program a new replicates key.
A locksmith with Jaguar key programmer and diagnosis tool can create cloned key using 2 methods:
When you lose all your keys to a Jaguar the process special reprogramming tools are required. This are available only to the Jaguar dealer or to a licensed locksmith.
You will need the vehicle identification number to place order (VIN) and provide valid proof of ownership with a picture ID.
