Looking for replacement remote key fob

[rlohiya]

Hi Chaps,

I have a Disco 1, (I think), 98 plate with 2 keys, but 1 x 2 button key fob.
I would like another to have a spare, (Just in case).

Please would someone kindly suggest whether it is possible to buy a new one from ebay, and program it myself.
or if someone can suggest a contact around the London area,
where I can buy one/programmed at a reasonable price, that would also be good.

Or, maybe I can buy a new one from Ebay and pop down to someone who has a "nanocom", (whatever that is), maybe that's a cheaper solution.

I'm sure I saw a post with a secret procedure to program key fob on this site, but now I can't find it.

Thanks

The only sure way is to get a new fob from the likes of RemoteKey.

I've got an old fob you can buy but it'd need reprogramming

Thanks, but I can't find someone to re-program it in my area, (as yet).
Otherwise this would be my preferred option, as it would probably be the cheapest.
If you know of someone in the Gtr London area who would do this for me, that would be helpful.

Thanks, but I've already got a couple of used ones sitting around.
I can't find anyone to re-program them though.

Hi, I'm assuming you have used these guys before, and you were happy with their work.

Programming, is telling the fob (instructions) on what it has to do and how and when to do it (communication protocol) when one of the buttons is pressed...

Synchronizing, is just to ensure the fobs communication is in time (in sequence) with the systems ECU after the vehicle or fobs battery has been disconnected....

OK, there is a procedure in the Rave for this, but it's is for '96 and older vehicles...

For newer vehicles I think it's a Land Rover dealer specific computer or scanner to program the fobs, might be able to do it with a Nanocom ...

someone else will know ...

Thanks, I got a couple of old ones from my local breaker, and they were re-programmed successfully.

 

[rlohiya]

Thanks for the detailed information, appreciate it.

I reckon, that either there was a mis-match of the codes on the back of the fob that you had, and the one you bought from Ebay.

Or the fob you bought from Ebay was faulty.

As both the used fobs I got worked on my car after re-programming.

I got a couple of used key fobs from my local breakers, and went to this guy to get them re-programmed while I waited.

Elegance lockmasters
Mr. Raja
0208 514 3313 / 07930 453650 / Ilford

He supplies and programs new fobs, and repairs broken ones too.
He charged me £45 for re-programming 2 x old fobs in 5 mins.
He even gave me my cars EKA No. Excellent service.

He's out and about a lot, so book an appointment to avoid waiting.

I used remote key for my 51 plate v8 just last week.
Excellent service.
