Thread: New FOB for a D4

eBay. Get a cheap knock off ~$20 and have someone with a Gap IID tool program it for you.

Just make sure you get the right frequency 433/434mhz for Au ones

Dealer. Just accept you're being screwed and get it over with.

Discoveries have aftermarket. It’s Defenders that sting!

Admin, move this if it's in the wrong place.

I've lost one of my FOBs and fell over when I went to the local dealer.

Where is the best place, local or OS, to get a new FOB with an emergency key blank?

Thanks in advance.

How much did they ask for ?

I just paid $200 for a new fob for our Defender from the indy British Off-road and thought that was cheap.
The LR genuine key alone cost an extra $70 and isn't even cut, getting it cut to LR specs will be another $80.
Your other fob will probably also have to be reprogrammed or it may not work on the same frequency as the new fob.

If you end up with a cheapy from ebay,mine works fine even though it has' Range Rover'on the case!You will need to change the alloy key for the Ford blank HU101

The Ford blank HU101 is readily available from many places.

The covers on the D4 fobs are another issue,they fall apart after a few years,we are on our third.

Quality ones are around $50,off EBay,there are cheapies,like most things cheap, don’t last long.

I put a case on my key, a simple frame. No skin oils into the key so it hasn’t fallen apart in 6 years.
