About XKR Keys

Verified key reference for the Jaguar XKR — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

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

On the XKR specifically we see: Megamos ID13, Hitag2 ID46 (NXP PCF7953A). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Which key does your year have?

  • 1996–2006: Transponder ignition key — Megamos ID13 (FO21 (Tibbe))
  • 2007–2014: Smart / proximity key — Hitag2 ID46 (NXP PCF7953A) (HU101 (emergency insert))

Jaguar XKR Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my XKR. 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.

My XKR is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?

Yes. Late models (2007–2014) use a proximity smart key on Hitag2 ID46 (NXP PCF7953A) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.

How fast can you reach my XKR in DFW?

We dispatch the nearest mobile unit metroplex-wide, 24/7 — call (214) 717-6398 for an honest ETA.
