Thread: Spare key

Hi Pedro,

Sorry I should have said MHZ instead of KHZ.

It is actually VIN specific. 315mhz for vins up to XA999999 and 415mhz for vins from YA000001 and onwards.

My car in a 2000 model and it used the 415mhz fob.

Hope that helps.

Tony

Thanks for the repsonse guys. Still looking for a dirt cheap one though but I'm probably at the bottom of the barrel now.

Found this website in my travels British Parts of Utah-Land Range Rover Sport LR4 LR3 LR2 Discovery Defender Freelander Genuine OEM Accessories Parts

Appears to be good for parts. (key&Fob $135 USD, about the same as the UK, just comes down to exhange rates)

Tony & All

Just did a quick search through Microcat and the program suggest for AUS RHD use a 315 MHz.

Do you think it's a safe bet to order. (14 day return i think)

My VIN starts with SALLT**********. (3/2003)

Hi Andrew,

What are the rest of the digits in the VIN as those that you have show here won't tell you whether the car uses a 315 or a 433 mhz. There were definitely 2 different frequencies introduced into Australia.

Would you please provide the full VIN for your vehicle and I can tell you the correct key fob to use. That is assuming that nothing has been changed in the cars maintenance history, which is a good bet that it hasn't.

If you want give me a PM with a contact number and we can sort it out easily.

Tony

Folks

This is a have a look and tell me what you see.

Can all please have a look inside your fob and tell me the first two numbers of the 6 digit figure inside the fob.

I'm thinking the first number of the two indicates the frequency (maybe). If it starts with a 4 it's a 433 Mhz and if it s a 3 it's a 315 Mhz. If it starts with any other number than a 3 or 4 then this theory is out the window.

This could be a big stab in the dark but have to start somewhere.
