Hi
I have been told that my Freelander apparently has no EKA code.
I am currently trying to programme a new key to my car (the one and only original key was lost) and have now been told that because this car doesn't have an EKA code this will probably mean T4 testbook will not be able to read or programme the key.
I have been told:
If my car has no EKA this means the new key will not be able to be read by the ECU.
The EKA code (or rather lack of it in this case) usually indicates the type of immobiliser system the car has.
This problem has something to do with it being a BMW system (how would I know if it is this type of system or not)?
Does anyone know if this is correct please? If you look at my other thread you will see how long I have been trying to resolve this issue. I thought I was getting close to resolving it and now I have been told this by an auto electrician.
Can anyone help please? Is anyone out there familiar enough with T4 testbook and EKA codes to advise me?
Thanks
Debs
