Now you have me pondering.

Consider this thread still alive, I will continue on my quest and report back.

Can the original key even 'forget' the car, because I am at a loss as to what has happened to it, other than the mob who tried to code the new one messing it up. That said, it worked for a few days perfectly fine before not working.

Maybe I should drop this wedding idea and spend the cash on the Disco...:angel:

Hi Sheerluck,
This is true - and is also true of key programming at dealers.

On that note, what if a key has been lost?

Then when the reprogramming is done, the lost key is effectively deleted by not being present at the time.

Automatically or you need to select manually the removal of the key via the faultmate?
And can you have more than two keys programmed to a car then?

So the missing key for my car could technically still be coded to the car if it wasn't manually removed, or not being present made it automatically decode?

Hi rb30gtr after reading your thread it sounds like the D2 and D3 keys are programmed the same way, only difference I can see is the cost involved.

So what happens is you take your shiny brand new replacement key plus your old key to the dealer/programmer and he reprograms the two keys and computer so they all work on the same code, any other keys lost or not present will no longer be able to access the vehicle. I have also been told that some of the bigger name lock smiths can also code your keys to your vehicle.

Also you should inquire through your local dealer about the "emergency access code" for your vehicle I'm not 100% sure but I believe this will deactivate your alarm/immobaliser allowing you to drive the vehicle.

Thanks Chunk,

The programming of the new key did not work, but maybe it was the key, not sure.

I like the sound of this emergency access code! I will call the stealer today.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi mate,
After some extensive research, 'Emergency access code' does not relate to D3 or above.

Well thats funny I just did a 5 min search and found a company in England that sells the codes for Disco 3 and 4. It's proper name is "Emergency Key Access" code.

Thanks Chunk,

You may just be spot on, however mgrovercodes wont work, and I shouldn't have to pay. The dealer may be able to provide me with an EKA if I can provide proof of purchase.

Thanks,
Ben
