The "Key Duplicator" function programs keys on Jaguar/Land Rover vehicles from 2018 onwards. Use it both to add a spare key starting from the existing keys and for all keys lost (AKL) jobs, starting from a fresh Abrites key.

⚠ WarningONLY Abrites TA54/TA56/TA66/TA67 keys for JLR are supported: other keys will not work with this function. If the vehicle is ARMED you will almost certainly have to connect to the internal CAN using the CB012 cable set or a distribution box, or switch the alarm off first with the "Alarm OFF" function. If the car has a UWB module the procedure completes, but only the remote will work: you then need to fit the EM015 emulator.
Procedure
Connect the AVDI to the OBDII socket and the PROTAG programmer to the PC; open the JLR application and establish communication with the vehicle.
If the vehicle is ARMED, connect to the internal CAN-H and CAN-L with the CB012 cable set or a distribution box: the internal CAN wires are found under the front seats or inside all 4 doors. CAN-H = yellow/red, CAN-L = yellow/brown (in some cases yellow/purple). The software prompts you when the direct connection is required. Alternatively, switch the alarm off with the "Alarm OFF" special function.
Open the "Key Duplicator" function.
Press "OK": the software connects to the vehicle and reads the required data.
Connect the PROTAG and have a fresh Abrites TA54/TA56/TA66/TA67 key ready.
Place all the vehicle's existing keys on the PROTAG one at a time (if available) BEFORE programming the new keys. In an all keys lost case, place a fresh Abrites key instead. Keys must sit on top of the PROTAG with the buttons facing up.
Read the software message: if you have working keys it tells you whether they can be kept or not.
When prompted by the software, place the new TA54/TA56/TA66/TA67 key on the PROTAG and let the write complete.
Once done, the software asks you to take the key off the PROTAG: remove it and press "Stop" to close the procedure.
Test the new key: lock and unlock the doors with the remote and start the engine. If the car has UWB and only the remote works, fit the EM015 emulator following the dedicated procedure.
