Please put the smart key(to be identified) into K518 card slot.
Reading and writing data to key…please keep the key placed stably in the slot.
Key ID: 11BDD036, it’s Lonsdor dedicated key for Jaguar LandRover.
Please put the smart key(to be identified) into K518 card slot.
Reading and writing data to key…please keep the key placed stably in the slot.
Key ID: 2B14CE37, it’s not Lonsdor dedicated key for Jaguar LandRover.
Please put the smart key(to be identified) into K518 card slot.

This function support key programming. Just directly connect the device to car OBD port to program. Dismantle FREE.
You can select Key Add or All Key Lost operations, Key Add will not delete the programmed keys, All Key Lost will delete the programmed working keys, the unlocked working keys can be re-programmed on current vehicle. For the locked working key, please make sure the key can be unlocked before programming, otherwise it will be deleted.
Must select the position with key ID to generate working key. It’s actually replacing working key, not adding new key, so you can only select the position with key ID.
When the device prompts “The selected key position doesn’t have key ID or valid data, you cannot generate working key here!”, please change to the position with key ID.
When program the deleted key on AKL condition, if it prompts “Identified that the selected key position ID doesn’t match current key ID, cannot generate working key successfully, please change the position and retry”, indicate the key position is incorrect. Before program, you can identify the deleted key ID first and then select position with the same ID, or try to change to other postions until generation successful.
Must use Lonsdor dedicated key for Jaguar LandRover(JLR), or unlocked dealer key from car manufacturer or aftermarket key(programmed on current vehicle already), otherwise it will prompt “Failed to read and write data to key. Please check if the key or key chip is correct”.
Lonsdor dedicated key has two frequency: 315 and 433MHz, select the corresponding Lonsdor dedicated key according to working key’s frequency, the dedicated key will not be locked and is reusable.
The key generated by using Lonsdor dedicated key, share all the functions of working key. If the working key is added by dismantling KVM, there is no Emergency Start function, then the generated Lonsdor key will not has this function accordingly.
On AKL condition for JLR, car will under alarm status:(1) Part no.FK72: generate working key directly via OBD;(2) Part no.HPLA: connect JLR cable to generate working key.

10. Connection way of JLR AKL cable is shown below:

(1) Find CAN wire under driver seat

(2) Find the wire in below pics:

(3) Connection way is shown below, there is a twisted pair (CAN wire) under driver seat, one is yellow-red CANH, the other is yellow-purple CANL, connect the red hook (pin) to CANH, and connect the black hook (pin) to CANL. If the twisted pair is different in color, try to connnect the two hooks to different wires respectively, if communication fails, then change the connection order.

(4) JLR cable connection:

Connect Lonsdor K518 with OBD cable
Connect OBD cable to one end of the JLR AKL harness
Connect JLR AKL harness the other end to vehicle OBD port
Connect Black and red hooks (pins) to CAN wire under driver seat (images above)

(5) CAN wire is different in position for some vehicle models, cannot directly connect JLR cable under driver seat. Require to find KVM in trunk first, use L-JCD 2 in 1 cable to connect CAN wire. If using JLR cable, require to connect an extension cabble, then use two clamps to connect CAN. Shown in below pic:

Menu path:

Function:

Copy and add smart key: copy and add key in the position of working key, and generate new key in the position of lost key.
All smart key lost: reprogram keys when all registered keys are lost.
Identify smart key: identify smart key ID.
Modify vehicle config: make it possible for low equipped keys to be programmed on high config vehicles.
Replace RFA: replace vehicle RFA module.
Write RFA initial data: if the replaced RFA chip has no intial data written, you can use this function to write data to the RFA.

Key Programming Procedure

High config vehicles with PSPS:

Add key when working key is available, vehicle is not in alarm state:JPLA ver: Replace RFA—> Modify vehicle config—> Copy and add smart key.K8D2 ver: Replace RFA—> Modify vehicle config—> Copy and add smart key, or modify vehicle config—> copy and add smart key—> Replace RFA.
On AKL condition, vehicle is in alarm state:Connect JLR cable well(refer to ‘Attention’), then enter [All smart key lost] function menu, use Lonsdor JLR key to generate an emergency key, after generation press the remote’s unlock button to disarm vehicle alarm state. After disarming the state, unplug the JLR cable. No need to connect JLR cable while replacing RFA and modifying vehicle config.JPLA ver: Replace RFA—> Modify vehicle config—> Copy and add smart key.K8D2 ver: Replace RFA—> Modify vehicle config—> Copy and add smart key, or modify vehicle config—> copy and add smart key—> Replace RFA.

Low config vehicles without PEPS:

Add key when working key is available, vehicle is not in alarm state:Enter [Copy and add smart key] function menu, use Lonsdor JLR key to add new key.

For low config vehicles without PEPS, the generated key function is complete, can be used directly. For high config vehicles with PEPS, the copied key has RKE and Emergency Start functions ONLY (has no PKE).
RKE function of the copied key will conflict with the working key in the same key position.
When copying and adding key, in turn to put all working keys into the device’s card slot. After key generation is complete, RKE function of unidentified working key will become invalid.Must select the position with key ID to generate new working key.
After key generation is complete, if current vehicle is in alarm state, pls press the remote’s unlock button to disarm the state.
[All smart key lost] function will delete all working keys, and doesn’t support the lost key to be re-programmed to the vehicle. High config models use this function directly when no config data modified, then the generated key only has RKE and Emergency Start functions (has no PKE).
For low config models, it supports AKL programming (generate key directly). For high config models, require to disable UWB function first, and then use car manufacturer’s diagnosis device to execute [Replace ECU] process, before using this function to do AKL.
Before replacing RFA, require to prepare at least 2 keys which can be programmed to current vehicle.When replacing RFA, plug external 12V DC to power up the vehicle battery.
Vehicle will be under alarm state on AKL condition, you can use JLR cable to connect the device to the vehicle to realize communication. Connection way of JLR cable is shown below: (1) Part no. JPLA: connect JLR cable to generate working key.
(2) Part no. K8D2: connect JLR cable to generate working key.

(1) Find CAN wire under driver seat.

(2) Find the wire in below pics:

(3) Connection way is shown below, there is a twisted pair (CAN wire) under driver seat, one is yellow-red CANH, the other is yellow-purple CANL, connect the red hook(pin) to CANH, and conect the black hook(pin) to CANL. If the twisted pair is different in color, try to connect the two hooks to different wires respectively, if communication fails, then change the connection order.
