Dead Remote

[BlueDog]

Well, my D1 is almost 16 yrs old and has had its buttons pushed many, many times. Now the battery holder thingie has come adrift from its wee solder moorings; and the little devil's beyond my ability to repair.

So........replacement. The local Landrover dealer quoted a cool $235 for a new one:o:o:eek::eek::eek:.

Has anyone had success with a generic remote......or am I stuck with having to buy the genuine?

I had the same problem, soldered it up and bought new buttons, fitted new battery and all is fine.
I think as well as buy genuine then you need to get it programmed by a dealer. More $$$.

Find some one that can solder and get it done, might cost you $20 maybe.

Thanks Dave, good advice. I'll just hold off for a week or so - have a locksmith getting back to me about a new product to be released this week that might do the trick - although I'll be suitably skeptical.

Cheers
