I am new to the forum. I just listed my 2020 Defender 110 HSE for sale because I am 10 months in and every day I get into the vehicle, I become increasingly frustrated with the FOB's inability to open the door. It sounds extreme, but I have lost my patience. I read through all the threads regarding the keyless entry issue and saw that perhaps it was being addressed by LH. Are there any updates to that information? I would love to keep my dream Defender - so please reply if you have any new info. Thank you!

 

If you are in the US it's because the receiver for the fob is on the passenger side (Right hand drive driver side) instead of our driver side. Take it to the dealer and tell them your problem. they should move the receiver from the passenger side to the driver side as they have for many others here.

 

Thank you. I’ve called LR service and they asked me to replace the FOB battery first. If that doesn’t remedy the issue, to schedule an appt. I’ll report back.

 

tech bulletin JLRTB02076NAS1 addresses this issue. my dealer has had the parts on order for me for months now. i'll be shocked if they ever show up.

 

Good to know. Thank you. Fingers crossed.

 

I agree with you, @Defender20 - it is WAY too difficult. Mine will never even start if it's in my pocket. They want about interference from phones, etc. - but it just has to be in my pocket. They really blew it if they made it over-secure. I suspect that somewhere is just a poor design decision.

 

It depends on the problem that you are seeing. Is it that the key fob doesn't unlock the vehicle when you press the unlock button on the fob, or that the door doesn't unlock when you press the button on the door? The former depends on the battery in the key fob to be able to transmit, but the latter is passive; it's unaffected by the battery and is a problem with the fob detection system in the vehicle.

 

A frustrating issue! Wilde Land Rover's parts manager told me on Thursday the balance of the parts that are on order should be at their U.S. warehouse in about two weeks.

 

Was wondering if p010sp0rt8 would post a few pics of your vehicle. I have the exact same build, X-Dynamic SE, in Yulong White. Should receive delivery in the next few weeks, but after viewing this forum for 6+ months, I’ve seen very few examples of Yulong White, which pleases me because most colors posted are from the most often chosen colors. Yulong White will stand out for its scarcity. And I’m sure those who chose those colors love theirs, but color choice is a personal decision, let’s leave it at that. Thanks.

 

i had Wilde order the parts last week, and have a service appointment this Tuesday. Mine is so sporadic. Hope this fixes it. Jarod - what color is your defender? I’ve only seen one other one besides mine since I got mine in July.
