Thanks for the info. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point, but it's good to know what the options are if I can't live with using the key in the driver's door.

 

If you do want to rely on the key in the door lock, it's probably a good idea to preemptively replace the lock pin with one from Carrs4x4, or manufacture one for yourself. The stock one has a tendency to break, leaving you unable to lock or unlock the door.

 

Thanks. Had never heard of this issue before. Probably going to go down the replacement remote worm-hole, but in the meantime, this seems to be an easy added sense of security fix.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has been able to get Ebay replacement key fobs to work or if they're still a no go? Any other reliable sources for these?

Thanks

 

Remote Key UK work every time, although they are close to $100

 

Is this the link? https://remotekey.co.uk/land-rover-k...r-1999-to-2006

Seems that its showing it as 'Discontinued'

 

Can this blank be used? It came with a parts truck I bought. Can they be taken apart and the key portion inserted into a new body and then programed?

Donor truck is a 2003 and my driver is a 2004 if that matters.

 

I just experimented with one of the donor vehicle keys and split it open. Could you order a cheap EBay blank, have it cut and swap in the old circuit board? As you can see my buttons are what have perished. Though it would be nice having a second key if the blank attached above could be programed and a "shaft" inserted.

 

Yeah, that should work if the fob works, you will need a nanocom to program it to your truck.

 

The blade can be purchased by itself. I forgot the part number but I bought a few a long time ago when I was adding some extra keys/replacing bent blades on my old DIIs.
