Thread: Lost Disco 2 Keys ... need BIG helps !!

Get the vin off the rego papers. Call the dealer, they'll give you a key code. Take the key code to locksmith, get key.

Or get dealer to send you up a new key from code and instructions how to reset fob.

Dunno where you find a locksmith on remote community, just as likely as a LR dealer.

Cheers

New key would be the quickest way. You don't even need the remote side of the key, as long as the blank matches the original.

You can then use the EKA (emergency key access) code to get around the security system.


The little switch referred to by the dealer is just the central locking button on the dash.

I had a dealer lock my keys in when it was in for a service once. They spent about 1 1/2 hours trying to get the doors open. In the end they managed to get some wire in and hooked to a door handle.

Obviously this only works if the thing hasn't been superlocked with the key fob. Then the inner doorhandles don't work.....

if you cannot get the car to a dealer i would think the dealer would need some sort of proof of ownership before mailing a key to just anybody.....you would probably need to fax them rego papers

you dont need the key from land rover you just need the key code which a lr dealer should be able to tell you from your vin number..
i went to a lr dealer and paid $30 for a key, he gave me a number which i had to tell the locksmith to get it cut..
then the locksmith tells me he could have saved me $25 by just going to him in the first place, he had exactly the same key..
i would be trying to get the key code from a dealer..
and with any luck you can find a decent locksmith..

good luck

Where in FNQ is the vehicle?

Getting key cut from code and using EKA is the best option.

The VIN number should be on the Rego sticker, but it's also visible in the lower left of the windscreen.

There's no way to make a new fob work without access to the BCU.

I own rovacom because my nearest dealer is 1100km away. At one point it was over 2000km. Go to love Land Rover's service agent network

But the FOB [presumably the Remote Control gadget ?? ] is what is lost !!

And thanks to all who responded ..... will post the outcome when known .....

Pedro,

Just to repeat the above.

1. Get VIN number of Vehicle and a dealer can then supply you with the EKA (emergency key access code) and also the key code
2. Take key code to a locksmith and they can cut a blank to fit the door lock
3. Using EKA and new key you can then open driver's door and start vehicle.

Instructions for using the EKA are in the owner's manual (on the RAVE CD). I can email you the page if you need it. The number is a 4 digit Hexa-decimal code (i.e. 1 through 9 = 1 through 9, A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14 and F=15)

The FOB (or Plip or Remote) of course will open the doors and has a key blade, but as you said this is lost.
