The keyless entry security issue............. On TV now.

10 Seconds to program a RR key I WOULD BE WORRIED good job my key is still in the iron age

At least the program has show how much the dealer over changes, mine over charged me by 59 mins and 50seconds

lol.... it made me wonder how they can charge a fortune for something that takes so little time!

Might be worth mentioning when negotiating a new key price!  2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

When watchdog exposed BMW's similar issue two years ago, there was a press release the very next day offering a security patch.

Keep your eyes peeled on JLR website... Never know 07 TDV8 + BAS map

According to Watchdog you need to phone LR on 0370 5000 500 for your security update

Hope it's that simple  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

and at least it proves that my Indie is correct, there is no reason to charge extra to programme the key, he included the coding in the price of the key, £125 if i remember correctly, took longer than 10 seconds though as he re-programmed both keys, still did it in less thatn 5 minutes though 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

Takes 60 seconds to program RRS1 keys

With the Clip Mikey posted above it asked to start the engine

If they don't have a key to start engine then might stop them if it is needed to be started

But they don't have a key to start the engine until they program one So they must get past that part

What Mikey showed was just the way the Gap tool works to code the key, When you use the MSV to code a key that does not ask you to start the engine, it just codes the key in 30 sec's.

Flack

I spoke to a fellow recently at a business get together who had his Sport pinched in London from a carpark. A few red faces at his insurance company this morning as they refused his claim saying he must have provided an additional key. As this took place a few months ago, the problem wasn't quite so well known.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

was speaking to dealer yesterday about this issue and was informed that the tracker option is now standard fit on rrs2 but when asked about retrofitting,shrugged his shoulders

Active tracker is £550 and reactive £400 inc first year subscription. I have trackers on every car simply because insurance requested it on values over 20k. Not sure I would want it back once recovered. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Was told today that land rover are working on a software fix and best course of action at present is to make sure the car is deadlocked ie: press the remote/door button twice
