    I bought a replacement housing from eBay and simply replaced the guts, and the key blade pulled out of the old one, and pushed into the new one. No programming needed! By memory, it was under $15 inc postage

    Hi Fery,

    It's probably the former. Anyway it's no big deal as it's my third spare now. I bought it when I'd misplaced one of the originals which turned up later. They work perfectly.

    Me too. It's the way to go, but in this case he needs another key as well. I paid $7 each (free postage) for the housings.

    Brilliant, thanks for that. Key no. obtained over the phone thru Land Rover Australia today. So I'm armed with everything I need now...

    Come summer, won't have a care in the world if I jump into a high country stream with a key fob in the pocket, unless, of course, the spare is in the other pocket...

    Get the 4 digit code from LR and go to a professional who can program it into their machine. I used a place in Blackburn which was excellent and cheaper than the guy in the mall!

    I've also got a nanocom and deleted some additional codes that were in the BCU so only have my current keys registered.
    Agree. Had mine done by a professional locksmith off the code. Worked fine.

    Just a quick update...so I finally managed to get to a locksmith to have a bare metal key cut according to my key code for the vehicle. I was forewarned by the locksmith that I may have some initial issues as my original key was quite worn. Putting the keys side by side there was some similarity, so that was a good start...

    Got home and after wrestling with the alligator for near to 30min I finally managed to turn the key in the ignition barrel. Thought I'd need to use a pair of stilsons to assist in the process

    Funnily enough I was able to do the EKA code dance in the drivers side door easily enough with the new cut key, but the ignition barrel...my goodness.

    Anyhow, there now appears to be a sweet spot in the ignition barrel where I can turn the new key with minimal effort. My original, worn, key is still kosher after all of this.

    Now that I know my key code is all good, next step is to get my newly bought key fob cut....

    Thanks to all for your assistance, especially to johntins for going out of his way to program my new key fob and modify my EKA to something that will prevent me developing RSI going forwards...you're a good man John

    barcode

    Hi guys, I know that you had this conversation a while ago but I am in a similar situation. I have two brand new D2 Valeo fobs. I have had the blades cut to code and I have a barcode for each that are a mile long. I have a new Nanocom evo and it asks for a 6 figure code when reprogramming. How do you know which part of the barcode is the 6 figure one or is there a formula which converts the barcodes to 6 figures. TIA

    Open the fob, there should be a sticker with a six character code stuck to a chip on the underside of the electronics inside.

    From memory, what pojir said. I do remember prying the fob apart and flipping the electronics. 18months on and the fob is doing well, still get caught out by the 30sec timeout every now & again...where if I haven't started in that timeframe the truck will fail to crank (with the red led illuminating solidly on the dash). A consequence of an ebay purchase rather than genuine fob I believe. Will gladly take that inconvenience though & also the +$300 saving that comes with it D2 key fob programming

    The short code should be the 6 characters starting from the second one in the long code in that order, as red in the next example
