Land Rover & Range Rover Car Keys — Replacement, Spare & Programming

These vehicles have used a number of different key arrangements over the years, from earlier remote and transponder keys through to later remote fobs and current smart or proximity key systems.

This is why two vehicles with similar model names can need very different replacement or programming work. The generation, year and security system all affect what is involved, so we confirm the vehicle details first rather than working from the model name alone.

There are three common situations. Replacing a damaged or unreliable key, where Car Key Replacement work restores a dependable key for the vehicle. Adding a spare car key while a working key remains, which is usually the more straightforward job. Or an all-keys-lost situation, which takes longer because there is no working key to begin from.

If your vehicle currently has a single key, arranging a second one at a convenient time avoids the disruption of being left without any working key later. We confirm what is available for your model, year and system before booking the work.

When a key is lost or stolen, it helps to have the model, registration, year if known, whether any working keys remain, and where the vehicle is parked. That lets us check the vehicle and explain what Lost Car Keys assistance is available before anything is booked.

Where the individual vehicle and system support it, a missing key may be removable from the keys the vehicle recognises as part of the replacement-key work. This is not possible on every Land Rover or Range Rover, so we confirm it against your vehicle rather than promising it in advance.

Many newer vehicles use smart or proximity key systems, and support depends on the exact model, generation, year and security system. Common enquiries include a key not being detected, a damaged key or fob, intermittent recognition, a lost smart key and adding a spare smart key.

A "key not detected" warning does not automatically prove that the key needs replacing. Battery condition, damage to the key or a vehicle-related fault can produce similar symptoms, so the vehicle and key are assessed rather than diagnosed from an enquiry. Where a new or additional key is the answer, Car Key Programming is carried out at the vehicle on supported models.

If a key has been lost or stolen rather than simply damaged, many owners would rather the missing key was dealt with as part of the replacement work. Where the particular vehicle and system support it, that can be included so the missing key is no longer recognised by the vehicle.

We will explain what applies to your model and year when you call. We do not publish details of vehicle-security systems or the work involved.

Mobile vehicle-entry assistance may be available for supported vehicles when keys have been shut inside. Please have the model, year and vehicle location ready when you contact us so the situation can be checked.

Keys Locked in Car enquiries are handled at the vehicle where the model and system are supported.

Key and security systems differ by model, generation and year, and some newer vehicles have different requirements. That is why we ask for the registration and vehicle details, the type of key required and whether a working key remains before confirming the work.

It means the answer you get relates to your vehicle specifically, rather than a general statement that would not apply to every Land Rover or Range Rover.
