Jaguar I-PACE Spare Key
★★★★★ 5-Star Rated — AJ Auto JLR Key Specialist
The Jaguar I-PACE runs its entire keyless entry and push-button start system through the 12V auxiliary battery rather than the high-voltage drive battery. This means an I-PACE that sits unused for a few weeks can lose key sync entirely even with a full charge remaining. Getting a spare key cut and programmed while you still have a working fob costs a fraction of what an all keys lost job costs later. We attend your home, workplace or wherever the car is parked and complete the job on site, same day.

How Long Does It Take?
An I-PACE spare key takes 10 to 20 minutes on site. The I-PACE uses the later JLR security architecture launched in 2018, which requires a two-stage pairing process through the Keyless Vehicle Module. We carry virgin I-PACE remotes for every model year from 2018 to 2026 in the van, so there is no waiting for parts.
What the Process Involves
We connect our Pathfinder diagnostic interface to the OBD port and communicate directly with the KVM. The new virgin remote is paired through an encrypted exchange that ties it permanently to your specific vehicle. The existing keys remain fully active alongside the new one, and we test all functions including passive entry, push-button start, and remote lock and unlock before leaving. Every key comes with a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
The I-PACE remote uses the same five-button proximity fob as the F-PACE and E-PACE from the same generation. The programming procedure is specific to the I-PACE security module, which handles authentication differently from the combustion-engine models because of the 12V auxiliary architecture. We run a 12V battery health check on every I-PACE spare key visit as standard, because a weak 12V is the single most common cause of repeat key drop-out on this model.
A Real Job
2021 Jaguar I-PACE SE, Guildford. The owner had one working key and wanted a spare before a long trip. We attended at their home address at 8am on a Saturday, ran the 12V health check (battery was healthy), paired a new I-PACE remote, tested all functions and were done in 14 minutes. The spare key was added alongside the existing one without deleting or disturbing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the I-PACE lose key sync more often than other Jaguars?
The 12V auxiliary battery powers every body control system on the I-PACE including the keyless entry module. If that battery drops too low, the security module desynchronises from the key. Unlike a combustion car where the alternator keeps the 12V topped up constantly, the I-PACE relies on a separate top-up circuit from the high-voltage battery. Vehicles that sit unused for weeks are particularly susceptible.
Can you add an I-PACE spare key without being at the car?
No. Programming requires a physical connection to the OBD port and the car must be accessible. We attend your location so you do not need to move the vehicle.
Will the spare key work with keyless entry?
Yes. Every key we programme is fully functional for passive entry, push-button start, remote lock and unlock, and the proximity detection the I-PACE came with from the factory.
Do you carry I-PACE key blanks in stock?
Yes. We hold virgin remotes for every I-PACE model year from 2018 to 2026. No ordering, no waiting.
How does your price compare to a Jaguar dealer for a spare key?
Significantly less in most cases. We also come to you, complete the job same day, and include a 12-month warranty. Dealers rarely offer a warranty on key replacement work.
