98 Discovery I keyless entry / alarm remote
My "new to me" 98 Discovery I has arrived and it didnt come with the keyless entry and alarm remote. I have found the remotes on the internet, but they say it has to be programmed by the dealer.
Anybody have any tips?

Beware of buying remotes on the net.
If they do not have the bar code they cannot be programmed.
You can program them yourself upto a certain year, I forget what year that is.
Download the RAVE manual and it will tell you in there if you can and what years you can do yourself.

My remote got difficult to activate. The button was really difficult and took lots of pressure to get it to work. I quit using that sucker two years ago now. Works just fine with the key in the door.
