No I don't have sdd, the post I added came from FB, it's not actually me who offers that service!
You have the Jag Specialist in Doncaster, talk to Chris Isles the owner, sure he can help you out.

Hello yes I have a 2015 jaguar
Hi guys, I've just had the main battery replaced on my 2013 facelift XF 2.2D, and the smart key won't let the car start anymore. The error is exactly as in the title.
I'm holding the key against the bump 2-3 inches below the fog light switch. Regardless of key orientation, the first time I press start, I get "Unable to find smart key. Refer to handbook", then I get "Reposition smart key and press start button", and then eventually "Keyless start back up. Smart key error".
I'm at my wits end as to what to do next, other than to have it hauled off to a dealer - which I want to avoid because I'm not in my home country right now and that hassle will eat a ton of time and money.
Any help appreciated!

This was copied from a FB page......Jaguar XF remote lock/key not recognised issues.
I've been getting many requests from the group via word of mouth and I've done quite a few.
Issue one most common:
Car won't lock after battery disconnect. This is solved via immobilisation in SDD.
Issue two less common:
Key not recognised at all hence no ignition, immobilisation not possible.
This is done via cluster reprogram as it will bypass the key sequence, turns ignition itself and do the immobilisation at the end.
This will also update cluster to latest software, bonus.
Please don't throw suitcases of money on KVM module/keys and what not, I've never seen a faulty KVM module.
I charge 50 for it if you come with the car in Keighley or Shipley, West Yorksire. United Kingdom that is.
I can also do any sort of programming, retrofits, CCF editing.
I have the latest SDD and Pathfinder and I am the one selling the complete units on eBay over 110 sold.
Also do not throw money in any tools no matter what the sellers say, only SDD can do it no Autel etc.

Smart key not recognised
Morning. My baby is misbehaving. Initially the tank was leaking so I could not fill it up. R500 is all I could pour in. Then I bought a tank and installed it. The car was alive for 15 minutes and stalled. After that it could only crank but no start. I tried everything even installing a new intank pump. A couple of days ago I received the dreaded "smart key not recognised" . I have tried with my mongoose, the problem is, the ignition cannot come on so I cannot access functions. Please help. 0834364500
