Decimal to Hex converter | number conversion
Nothing is ever simple with a Land Rover.
You must convert two at a time. So, convert first two and then last two, put nos together and that's the answer.

Damn,
I thought i was so clever getting my EKA code of 4 digits for my MY15 from the dealer with no fuss, and carefully memorized it, and now it could be Hex
Another unique LR trick to trip us over.
I dont think the EKA code is something you want to "test" on your car and FU
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Mine must be already converted as if I use just the first pair I get _E, which can't be correct!

I would say yes

SubscriberTry it out. What's going to break!? Only way to know you got it right and know how to use it right.
Just have pity on neighbours - the alarm should go off in the process of using your EKA.

What could possibly go wrong
Supposedly handed over with the vehicle. I never got mine with the vehicle. Started asking a couple of years ago and the journey went like this:
- Land Rover Malaysia (LRM) said they'd have to ask LR UK.
- LR UK don't have records for vehicles shipped out CKD for assembly overseas, so would enquire of Lord Lucas to see if they had it on file
- Lucas also don't keep a record.
- Asked why cant LRM just hook up their LR diagnostics computer, and read the EKA from the security module. Apparently Nanocom devices can do that.
- LRM diagnostics computer couldn't read the EKA
- bought myself a Nanocom. It wouldn't, and still won't, even talk to my ECUs at all. Useless paperweight for 2yrs I have owned it.
- LRM and LR decide to replace all my ECUs (engine, security, instrument) with new, with known EKA.
- change of plans... Some new idea how to read my EKA with LR diagnostics
- didn't work
- waiting on new ECUs
Throw in a few months between every step above and it's taken more than 2yrs to still not yet have an EKA for my vehicle.
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Try changing the battery. But make sure to take the fob out of range of the vehicle before pulling the battery.
