Almost certain that tool is for previous system, not this one.

Also why would you want to use a cheap OBD tool on a seriously expensive car, known to have serious issues -
do backup 1st to avoid major headache
otherwise crazy

OK. Final question, the tool i have from lonsdor will be able to program USED keys or only new keys ?

I will do a full backup with VVDI prog before i start doing anything. Lonsdor is telling me to read the D Flash and upload it to their website and after they give me a different file to write in and after i need to do it by OBD.

Will this work with my tool with USED keys or it will work with new keys only or it will NOT work at all ?

Too many questions, i know... but i reaaly appreciate a straight answer.

thanks in advantage and best regards

Older style range rover/ jaguar smart keys were re-usable. No idea about those newer style ones
