Or the entire case PLUS key blade for half that cost:

I have been trying to work out how the car got to this situation and my best guess so far is this: some time in the past, one of the original smart keys was lost. The owner decided to take the cheap route and get an auto locksmith to program a second fob to the KVM. All good except that new key won't work in the dock. Some time later, that or a subsequent owner loses another key - which just happens to be the remaining original key. I'm left with just the third-party programmed key and the ability to add more keys to the KVM but not the ability to program keys to the ICM. The "official" solution would be to swap out the ICM for a new one (which Jaguar handily supply with two new pre-paired keys apparently) at gawd knows what cost.
The moral of this story, which I wish I'd known when I bought the car, is to check before purchase that at least one of the smart keys is accepted by the dock and, if not, make the dealer fix this before you buy the car.
