A while back I bought a new remote keyfob for the P38A - about $300. When it arrived it was a totally different key to the existing and wouldn't fit.

It seems Alto Land Rover replaced the lock set but never updated the LR database with the new key code.

Unfortunately, without that code, getting a new remote is impossible. One has to replace the complete lockset again - about $1600 for parts. Dunno if that includes new remotes or not.
