Discovery 2 immobilised, LR can't find EKA.
My Disco 2 is immobilised, I don't have EKA nor Land Rover. I can't start the car, because both of my key fobs don't work anymore (one stoped working before and this week second one stopped too)
What is the easiest way to start my car?
Can I use diagnostic(and which one?) although my car is immobilised?
Can I purchase new key fob from LR or they need car too to program new key?
Please help.
Thanks

Buy a used BECM, ECM, and gauge cluster, prefferebly with remotes already coded to the BECM.install and don't look back. Maybe you could even send your old units to be unlocked and swap back in.
What country are you in? What year is your Disco? Diesel or Petrol? Does it have SAI?

Most tools say they might not be able to connect when the immobilizer is activated. I'm not sure how true that is or in what situations. I will say that it doesn't matter. If you've got a D2 in a country with no dealer and no workshops that have the right computers, buy yourself something from blackbox solutions, like the nanocom. If you really are locked out of the system and nanocom cannot get into it, just replace the BCU with a used one. You'll have to sync everything back up but you should be good to go after that.

I have contacted Blackbox solution and they said with immobiliser activated nanocom can't be used.
I have found this site
http://www.turnerdiagnostics.com/auto-electricians-24/discovery-bcu.html#
They can fix my BCU and I can use it without programing. Is that possible?
You are completely right that I should buy diagnostic, and I thought to buy one last year but I had to replace my front bumper so I have ran out of money.
I will sure buy one this time, it will save my nerves and money
