bear Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It will be inside the fob on the circuit board. HTH, Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdulas Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 just going through this with mine, I lost the key blade so bought an used ignition lock with two keys off e bay Tried to reprogram with britpart lynx, but it asks for an 18(?) digit code, whereas the code inside the key fob is a 6 digit I found a website that converts the 6 digit key no to a longer 16 (if I remember correctly), but still missing some no.s The advice from the supplier of the lynx was to take my logbook to a main dealer and ask them for the code, which was going to my next step, but not holding out much hope Hope someone can add a bit more to this Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It depends what you're using to program. New keys from land rover come with a barcode with a long code. Some readers are only capable of programming new keys with the barcode, they cannot program old keys or used keys. The nanocom and possibly some others are capable of programming the fobs to the car with just the short code on a sticker inside the fob. Making it possible to program the old/used fobs. If you've only changed the locks and still have the original coded fobs, you can pull the blade out of the fob and have a new one cut to the new locks and fit that in the original fob. There is no need to disturb anything electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cplgaz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm in the same boat with needing to program a replacement key (purchased 2nd hand) and only have the 6-digit code......anyone know of a LR repairer or such like who has one of the older diagnostic tools (Nanocom, etc) in the TAUNTON area?
