Morning all.

I've got a 2001 P38 which was bought with quite a few problems that i'm slowly working through. The next one on my list is the Alarm/remote central locking.
I have a Nonocom and when I plug it in and go into the BeCM all the immobiliser, Alarm and EKA looks to be turned off. When I first got the Range Rover the doors would lock and unlock themselves so I found that the driver side lock actuator was duff so I've replaced it and the problem was solved. While in the door I noticed that the arm at the back of the lock had been drilled and a screw inserted which was worrying because if it broke while the door was locked and no central locking I would be stuck so I bought a second hand lock and i'm now using two keys for the car until I can get a new handle from the main stealers. Now to the question.

If I turn the alarm/ immobiliser back on with the Nanocom and the remote locking doesn't work, can I lock myself out? I do have the original EKA code.
TIA :)

Try it all should be well, the EKA code is a function of the BECM nothing to do with the door lock. Although you will have to use your old fob for remote locking..
 
I'll give it a try. I can't understand why someone would turn it all off unless there were big problems :(

If the door lock was duff that would be the reason. You have a Nanocom and can input the EKA, if the door lock was duff that would not be possible without diag. He more than likely didn't have his own so got it done for him.

Sometimes the alarm and immobiliser is more hassle than it is worth. If it has the old RF receiver it sometimes loses such or immobilises itself. Also the ultrasound stuff inside can act up. Simpler to just disable the lot. I'd leave it off!
