Range Rover Vogue

[BigJ]

Hi Everyone, this is kind new to me but I hope someone out there could be able to help. I got a Range Rover Vogue L322 2000 model, I have some problem with security system and required EKA code. The car dealer has no hope for finding it, requesting to give them lots of paperwork. I would love to just to speed out the process but I am the 3rd owner I thnk I have no idea who is the original owner which there name under dealers when buy brandnew... They wanted me to get the paper work handing from first to second and second to me,, but all this paper is hard to find..That why i just stop by and see if anyone suggest any ideas..

I just wish if someone could be able to help, but retrieving the code with VIN#.

Looking forward to anyone help..

thanks

didnt know L322 was made in 2000. might wanna make sure what year it is 1st. sounds a bit suss to me

Sorry can't help you in Tonga, but here the local dealers will help for a fee and if you provide current registration in your name, meaning your the legal owner of the car.

I would recomend asking this be moved to P38 Range Rover area, as the L322 doesn't have an EKA and was 2002 onwards.

[BigJ]

thank you JSP for clarification but sorry for posting in this wrong area,,

Aussie,, sorry for missed posting saying is L322..

Hi Everyone, this is kind new to me but I hope someone out there could be able to help. I got a Range Rover Vogue 2000 model, I have some problem with security system and required EKA code. The car dealer has requesting to give them lots of paperwork other than the current car registered owner. I would love to just to speed out the process but I am the 3rd owner, I have no idea who is the original owner which there name under dealers when buy brandnew... They wanted me to get the paper work handing from first to second and second to me,, but all this paper is hard to find..That why i just stop by and see if anyone suggest any ideas..The car is not in Australia and no dealer or someone can help with this because they don't have any tool or knowledge to retrieve the code, and its very hard to ship to NZ which is the closest dealer and its cost fortune.

I just wish if someone could be able to help, but retrieving the code with VIN#. I would love to know the place where to get it, I don't mind paying a fee, because I have expected it.

Looking forward to anyone help..

thanks

That being said, after being in the situation myself of not having an EKA and a car which the BECM says is imobilized, mine ended up with a trip to a specialist with the right computer to get in and unlock it.

[wayneg]

You should be able to get it from the main dealer via Vin number.
I am not sure if you can see the code via Testbook, Dealer diagnostics but I am sure someone here will know.

If you are in a real rush you could try ringing this outfit with a credit card handy......

[BigJ]

Thank You wayneg,, I have order through that website, given them the VIN they get back to me NO EKA CODE AVAILABLE. without any explaination...

[wayneg]

Well I do hope that you phoned and asked them 1st and that you have not lost any cash.
If you have lost money I would suggest you phone them and ask for a refund, any issues threaten them with THE TRADING STANDARDS AGENCY and let them know you will be posting on every Land Rover forum of your experience.
Keep us informed

I am not sure how to take your "THANK YOU WAYNEG" ? Capitals means shouting on web forums so if you have an issue with my suggestion please make it clear

[BigJ]

sorry, i just caps its as I am thankful for your posts. in a postive way of appreciation.. they send me email again for refund.. I hope someone out there will be able to shed some light in regards to this problem..
thanks

If you are on the Polynesian island Tonga I doubt there is a Land Rover dealer. This would be your best option.
As that company in the UK returned your money they are obviously OK. Why not try calling them explaining the situation they still might help. Remember the big time difference. The website asks for a registration number ( number plate) and vin, as they are UK based their automated system is not going to recognise your number plate. Failing that why not try and find a Land Rover dealer in another big City and see if they will help over the phone

From my understanding the Dealers can get the code via Vin number as long as you prove ownership

Try any dealer in the UK, they might accept an email with copy of rego as proof of ownership. I bought a key like that, sent them a photo of my Oz rego and that was accepted.

G`day BigJ ,

Google " eka code range rover " and find the RangeRovers.net link , headed P38a Security and Alarm System Operation & Diagnosis on RangeRover .

You`ll see there is a heading for EKA .

Have a read and it may give you some ideas .

[BigJ]

I just finally get hold of someone in a Dealer and read to them the VIN# they say that no security code in their database. They recommend to go back to LR to redirect to UK for code..
Is there any tools to clear the code without knowing the code? and resett for new code....?

[p38arover]

By the way, you've also posted in the wrong Range Rover section. This is the P38A section, not L322. :p

[benji]

L322 didn't arrive till 02 I thought?

If it is a p38, it might be worth trying 1515 as the code. On the earler gems vehicles that didn't have an eka it was set as 1515 on the becm. A nanocom can read the eka. I wonder if bbsguy could drop in and say if theres any bosch licensed ones in Tonga.

[BigJ]

sorry if I may confusing you guys too much, but like I said its kind new to me and not knowing too much about cars.. here is few no. may be you can figure it out:
Range Rover/43R=001588
ASIMI260DOT682

hope that help ring with someone to figureout the problem.

thanks

[wayneg]

BigJ, The confusion is what car do you have.
There are two models you are referring to L322 is 2002 onwards. P38a is 1995 to 2002. I presume you have a P38a as you say its a 2000 model.
The vin number is on a plate behind the windscreen glass, visible from outside the car.
A Nanocom the other poster refers to is a diagnostics unit. He says it can read the EKA code on a P38a. ( not l322)
The diagnostic units are for sale from here...:: Nanocom :: (http://web.nanocom.it/default_i.cfm)

I would contact them 1st to make sure they can read the EKA code. As you are so remote it would probably be a good idea for you to have one for any issues in the future.

[Homestar]

Do we have any confirmation about what model we are talking about here so it can be put where needed if it is in the wrong section?

L322 or P38? If you unsure, post a pic and that will tell us.:)

Cheers - Gav.

[BigJ]

After going through internet about car pic similar to my car, I have notice range Rover Vogue L322 is same with my car, sorry I don't have camera or good phone to take a picture..but its look sporty, I have google picture of P38 and P38a. the shape is not the same, especially rear tail light n front.

2002 range rover 3.0 tdv6 vogue walkaround - YouTube

I have come up with this youtube the car is the same, with the Vogue logo at the back so sorry but the car is 2002.

Hope can be able to shed some light.. if this post still in wrong section my apologies because this is my first time.

thanks

[Homestar]

No probs BigJ - all good mate.:)

[BigJ]

further to clarify the problem, i can manage to start the car but only for 3min, i think the fuel pump is cutoff trigger by the security system, I only have back up key with no remote on it. Is there any way to get code its ask for? or anyway to disable the security system? thanks as always appreciate any help.

[harlie]

You only have the backup key? How do you get in – key in drivers door?

Is this backup key the plastic one?

[BigJ]

yes, the plastic key, that the only key I have I have lost the rest, and due to the location I have been working ok, but now I really need fob key. Like I said it was ok but somehow it going into superlock I think..
thanks

[harlie]

ok, so it is the factory Emergency Key with the rfid chip (not the Wallet key)

so Qs

1. What year is this vehicle? (Whats on the Manufacture plate)

2. What engine does it have?

3. Does the car turn over? does it start? asume yes from above post.

4. Is there any messages on any of the dash displays at any time? and when? (ignition on - engine start - engine stop)

[BigJ]

Thank you harlie for your prompt reply, I just talk to the guy who start the car, he just said he didn't started with the key, he turn ingnition on leave it position II t, he start it through the front which is longstory when he explain it to me which something bybass the fuel but I don't think it problem fix, because the fuel pump system is cuttoff that why only up to 3min which mean not proper start from the key. This is what happen when trying to normal start with the key when he turn on the key position II, blinking on the dash display CODE and look like 4 digit to be input. When he move from 11 position to start, NO clicking to start.
Here is some info from the plate:
E11,
13-HR-000086
45R-010086
21R-010205
24R.2.03
I have no idea what this no. for but probably is answering Harlie Qs.
Looking forward for somehelp.

[BigJ]

Built Sept/02

[BigJ]

Hi everyone, I finally talk to someone about security system or AWS module hope this what it called.
Does anyone have any picture of this items, and where its sit in my car? I would love to have picture view of it.. before I start doing anything, remember its limited with expert to fix this car.. the picture might help and diagram where the units sits in my L322 2002 model.
Its Vogue.
thanks and appreiciate all help

[harlie]

Ok, it is wanting the Interlock Code.

I have read about it, not seen it, there is a proceedure in the owners manual - see if I can dig it up.

In the mean time, you need to order a new full key. There are many warnings about using the emergency key for more than a couple of starts - I'm tipping the car has objected to this.

[harlie]

Yeah, you really need a key.


Interlock code - emergency deactivation
If your code is no longer available to you there isan emergency procedure that will delete the codeand allow the engine to be started.Follow the instructions in your OwnersHandbook and disconnect the earth terminal ofthe vehicle battery.After at least one minute, reconnect the battery.At this point the alarm will sound so be sure tohave the remote handset available to turn it off.The vehicle systems will reset. See your OwnersHandbook regarding system resetting afterbattery disconnection.Turn the starter switch to position bla bla bla

Some say - try 1515 but not sure, this is the default EKA for P38a, guess it can't hurt.
