Will Lonsdor K518 Pro program 2018+ JLR’s new-style smart key by OBD? This is a frequently asked question.
Here is the clue.

- Adding a Key:
- Keys can be directly copied for addition.
- For models requiring a 32-bit secret key, key copying for addition is not supported.
- When All Keys Are Lost:
- There is no need to remove the KVM module.
High-Configuration Vehicles (supports keyless entry):
- Adding a Key:
- Copying a key is possible, but the added key will only function as a remote control and support emergency start.
- For full smart functionality (e.g., remote control, smart keyless entry), the “all keys lost” procedure is required.
- JPLA Version Specifics:
- Replace the CPU chip or RFA module before proceeding.
- Use the Lonsdor K518 device to access the “Replace RFA” menu and perform the “all keys lost” procedure.
- Successfully programmed keys will have full functionality, including smart keyless entry and remote control.
- Vehicles Without Smart Features:
- Disable the UWB function by changing the vehicle configuration.
- Two keys are required for RFA box replacement when performing an “all keys lost” operation.
- Steps for RFA Box/Chip Replacement and Key Matching:
- Change the vehicle configuration using the 518 device.
- Replace the RFA box or chip.

- Use the original instrument for replacement.
