Thread: New key for RRS

Unless things have changed then the dealer is your only option, by the looks of it, $340 is cheap.

Look here

Yep, $340 is cheap. Have a look at nearly any other makes with a 'smart' key and they can easily top $1k. My old VR Commodore I think was about $100 and that wasn't smart.

You won't get it any cheaper. They are ordered from the UK via VIN and come precut. Then have to be programmed to the vehicle.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for asking the question I was looking for a thread myself in regard to a replacement D3 key, I have the key and the case it is the circuit board underneath that is busted, I suspect I'm up for the same sort of cost..........bugger, feeling the joy right now.

Thanks all,
From your feedback and two other enquiries I made, thàts the current cost.
Even the key guy in the stall at the mall said no chance,... and told me 340 was a good price.
I ordered it yesterday from a dealer, was told 8-10 working days since it comes from the uk, key cut and semi coded for my car.
Incidentally though, there's another $66 to have it paired with the vehicle and the other key. (15 minute job they tell me)
So actually the best part of $410
Lesson ...LOOK AFTER YOUR KEYS!
And make sure there are two when buying a used car, or knock $500 off the offer...
(And landrover service staff are charged out at $240/hour + Gst)

I have the same problem
Bought a second hand RRS and had two keys supplied
I should have tried both but didn't
Perhaps I have yours :0)
Don't know how to confirm which car the second key came from
I will ask the dealer

Thanks Clelo
Looks like you're up for an extra $400 too!
It's not like we don't have enough to spend our money on already....
Good luck , maybe the dealer will come to the party since you were actually supplied the wrong one.

The dealer should be able to pair it to your car, just tell them it doesn't work, should be free also, check to see if it's the battery, replacement batteries are cheap, from memory 2035 button battery, $5 for a pair.
