Can anyone tell me if they have experienced any difficulty with their D3 keys, I have two keys wife keeps one I have the other, one fine day last week my key refused to open the car, my wifes key worked, next day my wifes key would not work but mine did, we now have to travel with both keys? Dealer wants to replace both keys but our extended warranty insurer will not cover the cost!!:mad:

You can change the battery but I would check that the induction cahrging is working and there is no loose connections to it.

Hi xtsubzero,

I had heaps of problems with my keys. Got new ones ordered from Land Rover.

The reconditioned ones from e-bay may work but I would prefer the new ones from the dealer.

Thnx.

The keys have rechargeable batteries , it gets recharged from the ignition.
So you have to alternate the keys every so often too keep the keys charged.

Only one of mine works

The one that I have issues with is it will hold only enough charge to lock the doors, you can imagine all the alarms and lights flashing when I have to go in through the passener door
My brother has one of those induction chargers for his kids toys, I was going to try that next before looking in to a new battery or key

Just tape the one that is flat to the key that works for a while and it will charge it if the battery is ok.
