Not that I know of....

Just a Standard Manufacturers Alarm and Imobbiliser...

Looking at that list is is categorised as Thatcham Category 1 for the standard fit for the New Range Rover Jun 1995 to March 2002 - so Thatcham did indeed approve the P38 Alarm....never knew that..I always insured as Standard Manufaturers Fitment....wonder if I could claimmy money back for any over payments :D:D:D:D

Wammers.
fantastic...i have laughed so much....so true.

i take the view, anyone who wants to have a go can take it..
 
I bet there is a market for some sort of chip set that could bypass the alarm and immobiliser for good in the BECM.

I'd pay handsomely not to have to worry about EKA numbers, and engine sync, and RF interference, and all the other 'security' features they have.

It can be disabled to a large extent with diagnostics.
 
It's the engine immobiliser sync thing too, and you can't disable that can you?

A box that "tricked" the engine ecu and BECM that all security measures were fine, would be handy I think. I'm crap at computers though, and worse at 1990's Z800 programming or whatever I'd need.

If it was too much for Storey Wilson, I don't stand a chance.

On the diesel, if you buy a new EDC it can be set to non secure mode eliminating the need for the handshake with the BECM.
