bluespanner Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 When I bought my disco it didnt come with a remote locking fob, and as such, i have been locking and unlocking it on the key. I have just discovered the spaare keys for my old disco, including the fob. What i'm asking is can a second hand fob be programmed to any vehicle? Both trucks were the same age. (early 300 series with single button) Any help would be appreciated Cheers Roland Quote
MartinK Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Old hand. See here http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/land-rover/discovery-I-1995/ On my D2 td5, the local independant guy reprogrammed the car to accept the key for no cost while he was doing the service... Quote

How to do it has been posted before in the forum, open the bonnet, hold down the switch etc etc. Quote

bluespanner Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Sounds good to me! Anybody got a link, seeing as the search wont look for 'key fob'? Quote
BogMonster Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs. If a new handset is required, it will require initialisation to the ECU using the following procedure: 1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked, bonnet switch depressed. 2. Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds. 3. Switch ignition ON. 4. Switch ignition OFF. 5. Lock doors. 6. Unlock doors. 7. Release bonnet switch. 8. Switch ignition ON. 9. Switch ignition OFF. If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and LED will light. It is now possible to programme two handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU. This must be carried out within two minutes. 10. Press and hold down button on first handset until dash LED flashes. 11. Repeat instruction 10. for second handset. 12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have been initialised correctly. Quote

yapjack3 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Just tried the above drills but I've got a 2 button fob. One with a padlock sign and the other with the land rover logo. Any clues on how to reset this type of keyfob? Quote
