Thread: VIN Check For Replacement Key Fob

Dave. PM me your VIN no and I'll check it in Microcat.

Thanks Kev....Pm on it's way...

We don't bother checking VIN's on LR system anymore because a lot of the early vehicles had issues with remotes, the problem is if a vehicle has had a change the previous owner of the vehicle never recorded it anywhere & it may say it is a 315MHz which in fact now may be a 433MHz because of the change. When programming remotes we normally have both frequencies on hand & the one that doesn't program up goes back into spare parts.

HTH
Cheers

Not long ago I had a new key (purchased from the UK) cut at a local locksmith on the southside and he had a device which scanned the key and was able to tell you what frequency your key was. Very simple. The device was about the size of a mobile phone. Millennium Locks - 24 Hour Locksmith Brisbane - Key Cutting, Security Locks, Car Locksmith, Car Keys & Transponder Keys

Microcat said his is a 433mhz Pete.

So all's good .... I hope

Thanks everyone for your valued input on this somewhat bizarre predicament.

So even though Kev has very kindly checked my VIN on Microcat and according to that data my key fob is 433 Mhz frequency, I could still be unsure of my frequency...I think I'll take a punt on Kev's answer.....

I suppose it's just another day in the trials and tribulation of Land Rover ownership

Fingers crossed
The other way is to remove roof lining & remove RF receiver & see if it written on the underside of it...But be careful of fibreglass
Cheers Guys.

If MC says it's 433 I'd be very surprised if if turned out to be 315 ... that's just not going to happen imho. However ...

If MC said it was 315 ... I'd be punting 50/50 each way on it being a crap shoot !
