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?

When I bought my D3, the widow could only find one key.

I, subsequently, bought a second one through LR and had it programmed at the dealers.

Later, the widow found the missing key and sent it to me. However, it wouldn't work on the car. I Took it and the D3 to the dealers where it was reprogrammed. However, the 3rd key wouldn't work.

I had to take all 3 keys at the same time in for reprogramming for them all to work.

This shows that:
- the D3 can be programmed for more than 2 keys, and
- when keys are reprogrammed, any other keys are no longer programmed to the vehicle.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Thanks Peter, info is appreciated.
More than 2 keys is good news, now I just need to get one that works.
It has been an interesting procedure that is for sure.
The Dealer is getting back to me with an EKA today apparently, had a large amount of trouble trying to get one yesterday, some sort of system issue they think.

Cheers,
Ben

Update:

There are NO EKA Codes available beyond 2004 for Land Rover Discovery 2a.

MG & Rover Code Service. EKA | RADIO | KEY. Online or Telephone 01379 669375. - Our AUS VIN's do not work

LR Australia - Nothing in the system

Dealers - Same story, no EKA codes beyond 2004, got this from multiple dealers across NSW

Now trying road side assistance companies, will update when I get answers.

*I have now made over 40 phone calls on this Key/FOB topic
