Jaguar moved from Tibbe-key transponders through ID46 remote keys to proximity smart keys.

On the S-Type specifically we see: Texas Crypto 4D60 (DST40). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Jaguar S-Type Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my S-Type. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

Will a hardware-store copy start my S-Type?

On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
