Thread: Urgent Hlp Pls - Manual Unlock Sequence D2 00

It's not recorded in the owners manual but it may be recorded on your radio security card if you have a LR card, not a Eurovox one. Chances are you just have the Eurovox card though.

The small tag will just have the key cut code.

Call a LR dealer, give them your VIN & they might give you the code over the phone. You may need proof of ownership so they might not help - worth a try though.


The EKA sequence differs slightly from models but the procedure is in the owners handbook.

Hi
you will still need your 8 digit EMERGENCY ACCESS CODE
But here is the procedure if you get it

if you know / can find someone with a nanocom it can read your EKA

good luck

I had a similar problem, I changed the battery then used a paper clip opened up and shorted the micro switch which opened the door and let me drive my D2, I bought some micro switches from the UK and had them soldered on...works a treat, I have some spare switches if you like send me your postal address and I'll have some switched posted to you.

Good Luck Joe

Hi All,
Everyone... .sincerely, thank you sooooo very much for your help and the information you have provided me with.... (I have my EKA code from a very helpful member )

Before I commence any sequencing I have a couple of dumb questions!!

1. Is there a certain length of time i need to wait BEFORE each turn. For example if the first number is 7.... how many seconds do I need to wait before turning the key 7 times - is there such a thing as too quick for the brains in the vehicle to register 7 quick times?

2. I called Jcar and whilst they do have some micro switches he couldn't tell me whether they had them specifically for the landrover but to bring the fob in so I could show them - has anyone purchased any micro switches from Jcar before?

3. Do the micro switches 'really' need to be soldered on? From looking at the other micro switch I can see.... looks like it's just clipped around the edges.... what location specifically would the solder go on? Is anyone able to share some insight please...

Joe- thanks, I may take you up on your offer is the above does't work out for me... i'll pm you either way...

Thanks again, appreciate the help :-D

There's no set time as all you're doing is activating microswitches in the door lock.

Jaycar are usually pretty good with things like this but it will need to be soldered in (from the back of the board, the side you can't see).

Thanks for clarifying that. Of the solder, can it be just your everyday regular solder or does it have to be some kind of 'special' solder?

I've also just tested out the unlock code/sequence and got it right on the second attempt. Not too sure what the minimum wait time is, I waited 20 odd minutes between the wrong and correct attempts. No husband in sight with our eldest though and my fob / micro switch ... his fj40 has now broken down (dead battery apparently) - it's been one of those days!!

Of the replacement buttons that I require for my fob.... I can either buy a new housing/fob with a blank key (which I don't need) or just the buttons.... my intent if I went down the path of a new housing was to just put in my circuit board given nothing would need to be programmed...

If I go down the path of new housing - other than it needing to be the correct one, is there anything particular I need to be cognisant of?

If I go down the path of just the new buttons... is there any preferred material (silicon vs rubber) etc?

Thanks again for the insight and help everyone, again appreciated :-D

Cheers,

Glad to see it only took 2 goes

There have been a LOT of posts on replacement bodys/blades/rubbers,
seems like there is good Valeo stuff on ebay now,, (if I remember correctly)

did you give him hell about the battery??
