The switchblade key would need to be compatable with your ignition switch barrel. Only normally available from jag dealers who check the Jag owners register before supplying you a replacement.
The older type seperate fobs could be programmed by switching the ignition on and off 8 times (allowing all functions to settle) and on the 9th switch on - press a button on each fob and then switch off. to test use a good fob to lock the car then try the reprogammed fob to unlock/lock. Sometimes this works first time - sometimes needs a couple of tries.

Transmitter ProgrammingImportant:
All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door
lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming
sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all
previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming
signal from the first transmitter. Up to 4 transmitters can be
programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity
of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This
prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.
Good luck

This will all depend upon what country you are in, and if the vehicle even has the need for the chip to be programmed at all.
When you put a proper key in the ignition, is there a antitheft logo that cycles with the other indicators?
VW antitheft indicator in the USA often looks like a car with a key under it
In the USA, thought the keys have a MEGAMOS RFID chip, no system was active until 2000, and on some models, not until 2002
A system requires a VIRGIN chip. Once the chip is programmed to a car, the chip is locked to that car. Some new software can unlock and refresh some chips, but not 100%
I had a client come in TODAY with a 2003 Passat, and an EBAY flip key.... I wasted a half hour programming time..... but I carry the lower half of remote, which hold the blade and the chip, so was able to fix client up, when EBAY failed.
If this was helpful, please post a nice review for City Lock in Boulder
