There is a secondhand one on ebay at the moment which also has no code.

You dont need the code to program it with a Nanocom. I assume by code you mean the barcode on the label? If you take the key apart there is a code with 6 digits that the Nanocom can use.

Having said that I have programmed a key for our d2a and it neArly ended in disaster, with the engine running, the dash turned off and 2 dead keys. I did get it to sort itself out but it has put me off ever thrying to do it on anyone elses car.

I understand you can program using a barcode that may come attached to a new key (not sure how this is done), or by the code provided on the circuitboard. The keys I described earlier had neither code.

For information, here is a pic of my only key showing the code and the date(I have removed the middle 4 characters of the code).

ah, fair enough, on all the keys I have looked in the code has been there.

Both, sticker inside the fob and tag on the outside. It's a genuine part.

Also you only need the sticker inside the fob to program it. I have paid a Brisbane Land Rover Mechanic on the North side to program my key using Testbook (yes he was also surprised when I told him it was a 690 not a 680 key.....after he finished programming the key which was a 5 second job).
