I been looking and I found one that says it is Code Series Chip ID# 13. My key has a 3 stamped in it on one side that used to be covered by a jaguar head sticker. I wonder if that has any significance. If I could figure out what transponder chip is in there and get the ones with the same chip I may only need to have it cut somehow

LOL Nope. It requires a special computer that will match it with what the car expects. If it were as easy as you're hoping, people would just do that and steal 'em. Given that you're in the 2000s, it's probably a form of rotating encryption. You're gonna need a locksmith with the special computer that was at the link I gave you earlier.

The dealership has one. A licenced/authorized Jag shop will probably have one. Your regular locksmith may not have one, as there aren't a lot of people clamoring for Jag key programming.

The process is intentionally not something you can do at home.

Some car thieves actually have the reprogramming equipment. I'm not sure I would recommend that route.

I'm a bit surprised that you didn't know it was chipped. You're into cars and your son is into cars. I think it may have been mandated the same year they mandated OBD-II. It has further been improved, 'cause thieves can buy the gear and just steal your shit. The last time it was improved, that I'm aware of, was 2012.

None of the regular locksmiths have one, I have checked.

I did know that a lot of keys are chipped, even 90's cars keys I remember them having that little chip thing embedded in they key. Just the way my Jag key looked I figure they used the odd shaped key shaft and cuts to deter thieves

I'm pretty sure it was required by law by the time your car was made. That's why I'd have been shocked if it didn't have one. There are exemptions, but not for a mass-produced Jag that's not a fleet vehicle. Though it'd be kinda neat to work at a company that used Jags as fleet vehicles.

And, yeah... I'd be surprised to find a regular locksmith with one. You'll need a dealership or an authorized Jag repair shop - and the authorized repair shop might not have it.

Is there a dealership nearby? It might not be that expensive once you have the blank key.
