Additional Key
JLR OEM remote key fob – specs, wiring, TOPIx programming and instant ordering.
What Is an Additional Key?
The Additional Key is the genuine JLR remote‑key fob supplied as an OEM option for Jaguar & Land Rover vehicles. It combines a 433 MHz RFID transponder, a passive‑entry button and a key‑blade that can be inserted into the ignition for lock‑unlock, remote start, and key‑less‑entry functions.
OEM part number: JPLA‑20K056‑BP. The key is pre‑programmed with a unique 48‑bit ID that must be stored in the Body Control Module (BCM) via a TOPIx CCF update before it can operate the vehicle.

Wiring & Antenna Integration
The key’s antenna is a built‑in loop tuned to 433 MHz. The key itself is not wired to the vehicle; instead the transponder ID is stored in the BCM CCF. The only physical connection on the vehicle side is the **key‑programming port** (a 6‑pin diagnostic plug located behind the driver’s footwell).
| Pin | Signal | Colour | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +12 V (BCM) | Red | Power to programming interface |
| 2 | Ground | Black | Chassis ground |
| 3 | Key‑ID TX | Green | Transmits encoded key ID (TOPIx) |
| 4 | Key‑ID RX | Blue | Receives ID for verification |
| 5 | Diagnostic TX/RX | Purple | TOPIx flash interface |
| 6 | Reserved | Grey | Future use |
The programming port is protected by a 2 A fuse (F106) in the BCM fuse block. All signals are routed via the steering‑column harness (part # APS‑D14‑023).
Programming the Additional Key (TOPIx Workflow)
1️⃣ Preparation
- Park the vehicle, engage the hand‑brake and turn the ignition to “ON”.
- Connect a 70 A + battery maintainer to guarantee a stable voltage.
- Insert a certified
JLR Enet Wi‑Fiadapter into the OBD‑II port. - Launch TOPIx on a laptop with internet access; log in with engineering credentials.
2️⃣ Read Existing CCF
- Select Vehicle → Identify → Body Control Module (BCM) and click “Read CCF”.
- Locate the array
KeyIDList. This list holds up to 8 48‑bit IDs (factory‑fitted keys).
3️⃣ Add the New Key ID
- Insert the new Additional Key into the programming port.
- Press the “Program” button on the key for 2 seconds; the key will emit its encrypted ID.
- In TOPIx click **Read Key ID** – the software will capture the 48‑bit value (e.g.,
0x1A2B3C4D5E6F). - Add the captured ID to
KeyIDList(e.g., slot 5). Save the edited CCF. - Press **Write CCF** – TOPIx automatically updates the checksum.
4️⃣ Verification & Confirmation
- After a successful write, run BCM → Self‑Test → Key. The test will request the newly added key to lock/unlock the doors.
- Press the lock button on the Additional Key – doors should lock within 1 second.
- Clear any DTCs such as
C0A70‑00 – Key‑ID Mismatchusing the “Clear Fault Codes” command.
5️⃣ Final Validation
- Power‑cycle the vehicle (IGN OFF → ON) and repeat the lock/unlock test to ensure the key is retained.
- Run a quick “All Systems OK” scan in TOPIx – any remaining DTCs must be cleared.
- Record the new CCF checksum and programming date in the service log as proof of a factory‑approved key addition.
Diagnostic & Verification Tools
| Tool | Purpose | OEM Part / Link |
|---|---|---|
| JLR Enet Wi‑Fi Adapter | DOIP communication for TOPIx | APS‑D07‑001 |
| TOPIx Engineering Access | CCF edit & key programming | Daily/Weekly Subscription |
| 70 A + Battery Maintainer | Voltage stability during flash | Standard automotive supplier |
| Key‑Programming Port Cable | Physical connection to BCM (6‑pin) | APS‑D19‑022 |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add an Additional Key to a vehicle that never had the key option?
Yes. As long as the BCM hardware includes the “KeyIDList” array (present on all 2020‑2025 builds), the key can be added via the TOPIx workflow.
Will the new key affect fuel consumption?
No. The key is a passive RFID device; it draws power only when the driver presses a button. There is no continuous draw from the vehicle.
Is the Additional Key covered by JLR warranty?
When programmed with the correct TOPIx activation, it enjoys the standard 12‑month/12 000 km warranty. Keep the programming checksum as evidence of a proper install.
What DTC indicates a key‑ID problem?
The primary fault is C0A70‑00 – Key‑ID Mismatch. After re‑adding the key and confirming the lock/unlock test, the code can be cleared.
Order the Additional Key
Select the exact part number that matches your vehicle’s VIN. The key ships sealed in a static‑free bag with a pre‑installed CR2032 battery.
