Thread: Lost keys. Looking for some assistance please

The best would be to find somebody with tester and set the alarm on "always disarm with key", here's the whole story Disco 2 Recommendation for D2 owners - Land Rover Zone

See the instructions in your cars handbook- downloadable copy here and look in the locks section www.discovery2.co.uk - Owners Handbooks 01 MY

As long as the code has not been changed and the key blank has been cut correctly you will be able to start and drive your car.

I have done this several times to test, as I keep a spare key in my wallet !

Landrover designed the procedure to get you going in this exact scenario and it works. Don't worry!

Yes - i have tested my EKA as well and i have had a regular key cut in case i get caught out (i lost the key blade from the fob once). Take your key blade (removed from fob) to a key cutting booth in any major shopping mall and get one cut. The key blank for the job is a SILCA NE27. You need to tell them that otherwise they'll turn you away with "no we can't do those sort of keys"

Just just the call back from the dealers with codes.

Now, how do I use an alpha/numeric code in EKA?

It's hexadecimal so if you've got letters mixed with digits, A=10, B=11, C=12....and so on untill F, example 2A6C = 2-10-6-12, procedure attached

Hmmm, seems they want to confuse.. What happens at F?

Nevermind, I see it includes F

Thanks though will attempt when the key code for cutting works.

A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

Thanks for posting the EKA procedure and it's so much more comprehensive and helpful than the procedure printed in my owners manual. I can now understand why many of my attempts at EKA entry were failures.

Welcome, another problem with EKA code is that it's changeable with tester(nanocom can do it as well) there are owners(like me) who are changing it to be easyer to insert cos for example a 7B9D code is quite laborious to be inserted, it's not compulsory to have numbers greater than 9 in it to work, i decided to never sell the car so i changed it into my card's pin code in which the greatest number is 6 the others are below 4 so it's easyer to insert and i dont forget it ... so in case the previous owner(or one of them if there were more) changed the EKA what you get from the main dealer will not work even if you proceed as in the book, the best is to read it(or change it) with nanocom when you get it plugged in and remember it well, then if you sell it dont forget to give that EKA to the new owner
