Thread: Remote security override

I have a 2007 Defender. Does anyone out there know how to override the remote so that I can just use the key?

You need to have the EKA (Emergency Key Access) Code, which you can enter using the ignition key. The procedure (below) is pretty elaborate, involving the ignition key,opening and shutting the door, (standing on one foot etc).

1. Remove the remote control from the key ring and keep it well away from the starter switch while entering the code.
2. Unlock the driver's door using the key, open the door and enter the vehicle. Shut the driver's door.
3. Insert the key in the starter switch, turn and hold the key in position II until the alarm sounds. Then, turn off the starter switch and open and close the driver's door.
4. Turn the starter switch to position II the required number of times to enter the first digit of the code (if the digit is 4, turn the key to position II and then back to position 0 four times).
5. Open and close the driver's door (this will enter the first digit of the code).
6. Turn the starter switch to position II and back to 0 the required number of times to enter the second digit of the code, then open and close the driver's door.
7. Turn the starter switch to position II and back to 0 the required number of times to enter the third digit of the code, then open and close the driver's door.
8. Turn the starter switch to position II and back to 0 the required number of times to enter the fourth digit of the code, then finally, open and close the driver's door one more time.
If the code has been entered correctly, the alarm indicator will extinguish, the alarm will stop sounding and the engine can be started.
If an incorrect code has been entered:
If the code is entered incorrectly, the alarm sounder will sound twice, the alarm indicator will continue to illuminate and the engine will fail to start. Before entering the code again, turn the starter switch to position II and hold in this position for five seconds.
After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of 30 minutes, during which the system will not accept further attempts to enter a code.

Cheers,
