Any Range Rover Classic owners need a new alarm fob?

[MikeV8SE]

Specially those of you with the uprated Cat1 'conlog' alarm system, which has the oblong remote with a single button a metal contacts at one end for the plug in the centre console.

The reason I ask is I only have one and want a spare, and these guys Range Rover Classic 1992 - 1995 key fob sell them @ £62 each or £90 a pair = £45 each! So, if someone wants the other one we could go halves and save ourselves £20 each.

Anyone interested?

They look like the ones I got S/H from ebay for £5 delivered. And I just programmed them as per the Rave instructions.

HANDSET INITIALISATION
NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs.
If a new handset is required, it will require
initialisation to the ECU using the
following procedure:
1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked,
bonnet switch depressed.
2. Carry out instructions 3 to 9. within 8 seconds.
3. Switch ignition ON.
4. Switch ignition OFF.
5. Lock doors.
6. Unlock doors.
7. Release bonnet switch.
8. Switch ignition ON.
9. Switch ignition OFF.
If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and
LED will light. It is now possible to programme two
handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU.
This must be carried out within two minutes.
10. Press and hold down button on first handset until
dash LED flashes.
11. Repeat instruction 10 for second handset.
12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have
been initialised correctly.


It helps if you get someone to do the bonnet switch for you.

I've got 2 of these with my Discovery and the one for the Classic the buttons dodgy. Is it possible to reprogramme one from the Disco to work on the Classic?

If not I would be interested in getting a new one if mines is suitable Mike. The remotes are the same as the ones in the ebay link

My late hard dash uses the same system.
Ironically, I actually prefer the fact I need to be quite close to the car for the keyfob to be in range....it was a right royal pain in the ass with the wifes merc whos fob still seems to work from about 50ft away!, so easy to accidentally unlock with fob in the pocket in the house!:doh:

Don't wish to hijack your thread, but do you know if the AMR 2106 unit will cut the power to the stereo, as I suspect that is what has happened to my RRC. No stereo and now the hazards are clicking on and off, will have to try and reset the unit somehow..!!
