FAQs: Land Rover Keys And Locks
Can you replace a lost Land Rover key without the original?
Yes. We can make a new Land Rover key without the original by reading immobiliser data and programming a new transponder/smart fob. We also remove lost keys from the system on request to protect your vehicle.
My Land Rover says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try replacing the fob battery and holding the fob near the steering column or start button, as some models have a backup antenna. If it still won’t start, the fob may need reprogramming or there may be an antenna/immobiliser issue. We can diagnose on-site.
Do you offer non-destructive entry on Range Rover and Discovery models?
Yes, we use non-destructive techniques wherever possible. Land Rovers have strong security features; in rare cases of damaged or seized locks, we’ll explain options before proceeding.
Can you programme smart keys and proximity keys for newer Land Rovers?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and remote key programming with dealer-level tools, including OBD2 and, if required, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming.
How long does Land Rover key programming take?
Often 30–90 minutes depending on model, year, and key type. If EEPROM/ECU programming is needed, allow longer. We’ll advise when you call.
Is it cheaper than going to a Land Rover dealer?
In many scenarios, yes—especially with mobile convenience and same-day help. For an accurate figure, please request a free quote.
