Could be the receiver unit for the remotes in the car. They both start the car so are still coded to it. Being 2006 it should still be in warranty?
Just received our 2006 D3 SE today having purhased late last year at auction. The remote key fobs that came with the vehicle do not work, however the key locking and ignition works fine. Had a quick look at the owners manual and noted that the remote battery is charged via the ignition. So had a half hour drive to see if this fixed the problem however it didn't. As I said, new to the vehicle as of today so thought I'd see if this is something simple that I can't figure out. Sticker on drivers side says "ICE fitted with computer anti theft system". Any help appreciated prior to going to Land Rover. Cheers

Thanks, and yes still under warranty. Looks like off to LandRover I go already. Having had a 92 Rangie for the past 12 years I have tended to avoid them, however with the new experience of warranty I guess I better!
ICE = In Car Entertainment = CD + Radio + Speakers
As for the remote, if its anything like the D2 then a quick check on the diagnostic system at the dealers will tell if pressing the remote is being picked up by the vehicle's BCU.

Hi Simondebbie,
The 2 keys will need to be programmed to the vehicle. Probably just lost comms to the ECU. Car may have been sitting for a while.
ICE stands for "In Car Entertainment". All the LR's should have this sticker on them from 98my onwards. Some get removed from having tint fitted.
Cheers
I have head of these 'dropping out' sometimes so they might need reprogramming to the car via IDS.

My hope was that it has been sitting for a while and hence the problem, we bought last year and had it shipped down over XMAS. Figured the ICE thing would be obvious, but thought I could get away with some dumb questions considering it's been a long time since I had a latish model LR and it's early days on the forum! Cheers for the advice.
Bum, late again.
Onya Pete.
