The older key coding system is on cars 00001 to 08869 (last five digits of VIN) and allows non Jaguar dealers to programme keys.
This is done via the OBD port.
Cars 08870 and onwards, in 2015 JLR changed the system so that the OBD is taken out of the equation for key programming.
The new system has a separate module that will only talk to the two original keys so you can't clone/create any new ones.
If you lose one or require a replacement then you will get stung for two new keys and a new module, of which the last Jaguar quote I can see was £738 for reference only.

Dumb question which is kind of related; the rubber parts of my key fob are coming off at the seams/joint and will not click back together. Are these just replaceable with aftermarket/new ones? The key function is fine, it's just the rubber front/back.
For @299Peter, have you tried asking if a independent specialist will do keys for you?

I had it priced up 2 months back after 'mislaying' my bright red spare key.
The price was just shy of £800 all in with new key module (if required) and around £600 if not.
I have all the detail on a print out for my insurance Co. if you would like a copy....within 12hrs, the said key was found (had been mislaid for around 2 years)!!!
According to my insurance Co. this is a quite a common occurrence.
Give your insurance a ring...it might magically appear as mine did ;-)
FWIW - My excess is 1k, so it wasn't covered anyway!

Thanks mickjaguar,
I had the same issue as Mr Tea & have just bought a genuine Jaguar replacement. The Jaguar packaging is marked "Made in China", so the ones on eBay are probably made in the same place, just minus Jaguar labels

What doesnt help is the design and structure of they key is absolute pants!! Cheap nasty crab that breaks internally and you end up shoving all the bits inside and clicking it shut if you can. Should be £8 each with the rubbish quality. Everything Jag is a rip off apart from the most beautiful car. Harwoods charge over £200 per hour labour. Should be wearing masks!!
