Getting keys made
I just want to report that I had an excellent experience having a new key made for my S-Type. A local locksmith has gotten all the equipment necessary to make high-security keys like we use for our Jaguars.
He was able to make a plain ordinary car-key for me with no fob. He was able to clone the security code from an existing key so no reprogramming of the other keys was necessary. Now I have a much smaller key, than the original with its fob, that I can place on a regular key ring with other keys and not fill up my entire pants pocket.
He charged me $100.00.
So if you're tired of the space that the fob takes and would like to have a much smaller key and use the lock on the door rather than a remote un-lock, well equipped locksmiths can do the job and for a much lower price than a dealer would charge.
