This is for both RHD and LHD vehicles.

If you are still having issues, there is a receiver in the left hand side of the drivers seat in RHD vehicles, so you could also keep the key in your left pocket.

Lol, I'm sorry I don't think I understand the question.

The car will go to ignition position 2 or (ACC) mode if the car is in reverse but it will not start.

The car will only start in Park and Neutral when your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

My attempt at humour obviously leaves a bit to be desired ................

Land Rover engineering say te fault is cause by metallic objects such as laptops, phones, iPods or other inch devices interfering the with key signal.

Another reason they say is due to the position of they key itself. The best place to keep the key to ensure this issue does not persist is right next to the gear lever on the left hand side.

Hope this solves your issue!

Thanks for your info

No laptops,phones,chargers or anything else electronic in the vehicle at the time.
Oh,there were a couple of rifles one each side of the front seats,that is the console side of the seats.
Mine did it for a good few minutes while the key was in it's normal place in the pocket left side of gear lever.I then picked up the key & moved it around the cabin including holding it below the steering column,message still on dash saying can't find key.
Strange it hasn't done it again....
Also strange this has only started to happen in D4's,they have been out for a few yrs now?
Anyway,sounds like they are onto it.

Mine has done that a few times now just on 3yrs
I find if you just press the unlock button it finds it

Maybe that's why mine never has such problems!

Hopefully this helps, if you try these above tips you may need to take it to a dealer, but I'm not sure what they'll do.

But hopfully it won't happen again!

good luck!
