On self programming with the GAP IID, according to their info, they say it can program in keys, but I do not have one so I am not really sure. The Activity Key is simply another key. I have heard two differing versions of programming anything in to the car's KVM module, one that you have to program each one, if you have two keys and an AK, you need to program in all three again. I have also heard that you can simply add one. Never actually done it myself.
The previous Activity Key had a separate module installed in the rear of the car. You apparently had to go near the rear area and it would unlock the vehicle it did nothing else. It has caused all the misunderstanding about the new Activity Key in general, which acts essentially like a regular key fob, with a watch.

I’ll see if the boffins at GAP can edumacate me on the process. Having one at the right price might be handy.

Can confirm: the new style activity key with the light up screen behaves as a fob and can be programmed (added as a third key) via GIID. Make sure to put vehicle in service mode first!
Don't let the battery run down or it won't be able to open the door. Use the rear door trick to disable fobs left in the car (not that you'd need an extra fob since the activity key allows you to start and drive)
Be vigilant to get the correct frequency key if buying 3rd party (LR164064 for NA market)

On the Gap Tool: Root Menu -> Service/Test -> RFA... -> Add Key
If it fails it is most likely that 'service mode' via the Land Rover remote app did not initiate (sometimes it takes a few minutes)
The strap they give you with the activity key is awful, but plenty of silicone bands in 22mm are available via Amazon/Alibaba
Also recommend a second charging cable to leave in the vehicle in case it gets low on charge
