Exciting news is on the horizon for automotive locksmiths! KEYDIY has announced an upcoming software update for KD-X4 key programmer, allowing users to successfully copy and clone smart keys for 2018 and newer Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) vehicles.
Key Advantages of KD-X4 JLR Update:
- Zero Module Disassembly:No need to remove or pull down the vehicle’s KVM module.
- No RFA Replacements:Skip the expensive RFA module replacement or reprogramming procedures.
- Offline Execution:Complete the copy process locally without requiring online dealer programming.
- Error-Free Operation:Eliminates the common and frustrating “code tracking” problems.
Supported Vehicle & Key Coverage:
This update is fully compatible with 2018+ Jaguar and Land Rover models equipped with NXP NCF29Ax smart keys.
Hardware Compatibility: What Key Do I Need?
The cloning function works seamlessly with both OEM original keys and KD ZB series smart keys.
How It Works: Step-by-Step Programming Guide
1.Key Disassembly: Begin by taking apart the original vehicle key to expose the PCB.
2.App Navigation: Open KD App on Keydiy KD-X4 and navigate to:
Land Rover Smart Key Synchronization -> Land Rover -> Select by Type -> Disassemble to Copy Key -> Copy Smart Key.
3.Pinout Wiring: Follow the on-screen wiring diagram provided in the KD App.
- Note:You can choose to solder connection wires directly to the key’s circuit board, OR desolder the NXP chip and solder it directly onto KD #13 NCF29Ax adapter.
4.Data Acquisition: Read and save the internal chip data from the original key.
5.Data Writing: Connect your new replacement key to the system. Write the saved original chip data directly onto the new key to finalize the clone.
Keep your KEYDIY KD-X4 key programmer updated and watch KD App closely for this upcoming release notification!
