Lock50 SW01 — read a JLR PCF7953 key: part, frequency, key position and locked status.

What SW01 does

  • Reads the PCF7953 transponder inside a Jaguar / Land Rover key from 2010–2020 (the KVM generation) and shows the data in one screen.
  • Part / type — which JLR key family the PCF7953 belongs to, so you pick the matching Lock50 emulator: HW05 (433 MHz), HW06 (315 MHz), HW07 (433 MHz), HW08 (315 MHz), HW09 (433 MHz) or HW10 (315 MHz).
  • Frequency — 433 MHz or 315 MHz. The copy key must be the same frequency as the car; odd Lock50 key numbers are 433 MHz, even numbers are 315 MHz.
  • Key position — the key slot the KVM learned this key into. Useful when you copy through the KVM dump with SW09 (slots 1 and 2 are the ones it copies).
  • Locked status — locked = the key has already been learned to a car; unlocked = new / renewed and free to be learned or copied.

How it works

  1. Place the client’s key on the antenna of HW04 or HW01.
  2. Open SW01 – Read key PCF7953 in the Lock50 JLR Key Tool and press Read.
  3. The tool talks to the PCF7953 over 125 kHz and shows part, frequency, position and locked status in a few seconds.
  4. Read the result against the table below and go to the SW function that matches.

What to do with the result

Result Next step Function
Unlocked PCF7953 key Copy it straight onto a Lock50 change-ID key HW05 (433 MHz)–HW10 (315 MHz) — key to key, no OBD. SW10
Unlocked PCF7953 key → OEM case wanted Copy it onto an OEM-grade change-ID key HW07 (433 MHz)–HW10 (315 MHz) — key to key, no OBD. SW12
Locked PCF7953 key Unlock / renew it first without opening the key, then it reads as unlocked and can be copied or learned. SW11
Key position shown, client wants a spare from the KVM Copy the key out of the KVM 9S12XEP100 dump (slot 1 or 2) onto HW05 (433 MHz)–HW10 (315 MHz). SW09
All keys lost (no key to read) Nothing to read — go to the KVM dump route: read the KVM EEPROM and D-Flash, make a dealer key and write back. SW03
Key is NCF29A, not PCF7953 Same tool — switch to the SW02 NCF29A read function (also shows PEPS / UWB status). SW02

Hardware, cars and years

  • Runs on HW04 (any package A to C+) and on HW01. The key is read on the tool’s own antenna — bench job, no car, no OBD.
  • Keys: JLR PCF7953 (HITAG Pro) smart keys and flip keys, 433 MHz and 315 MHz markets.
  • Cars: Jaguar and Land Rover 2010–2020 with a KVM (Keyless Vehicle Module) — Range Rover L405 / L494, Evoque L538, Discovery 4 and Discovery Sport L550, Freelander 2, Jaguar XF X250 / X260, XJ X351, XE X760, F-Pace X761, F-Type X152.
  • RFA-era cars (2017–2026) use NCF29A keys — read those with SW02.

Key facts

  • Read only — SW01 never writes to the key and never changes anything in the car.
  • No OBD, no battery on the car needed. The key does not even need to be the client’s working key — any PCF7953 JLR key can be checked (used keys from stock, eBay keys, spare keys).
  • Reading first saves a wasted job: you know the frequency, the lock state and the right copy route before you touch the car.
