I realize this is the Disco II forum, although I'm asking about an L320...

Quick question - I got a nice 2013 LRRR Sport recently and it came with a working factory key (that I've refurbished with OEM parts) and a non-working Chinese knockoff key. I also bought a mint condition original used key on eBay from a 2015 (somebody sold their Land Rover and found the key years later in a drawer).

I have the LAUNCH X431 Elite new in box ready to go, but can't find any definitive info on whether or not it can program used keys. I could care less about the Chinese FOB, I'm just trying to get a second original OEM FOB running without screwing up the only working key I have for the truck.

Any info is appreciated. Happy to post follow ups if successful. Thanks-

***Update: manufacturer of X431 says I'm unable to do what I'm trying to do. Farking hell. 😞

 

Thanks for posting the info on Ace Hardware and having keys made! Just got my beloved Disco back after 2 1/2 years at the body shop and have this on my list of items to do. Appreciate it!!

 

the SLABS plip was a special fob that raised and lowered the back of the truck if you had air suspension, ostensibly for loading as you were walking up to the truck.

 

Jut because I think it would be cool, anyone know where to get a PLIP fob? You guys all know how much I love the bags in the rear…

 

Plip = fob. They're synonyms.
As said, there's a special type of plip/fob that has an extra button for deflating the rear. The coding process implies that there can only be one per vehicle.

 

Yeah I know there is a “special” one for the rear as you can see it in use in a couple of the LR videos (those dorky ones from back in the day as a video owner’s manual, that I really like). I didn’t think it was actually on the main key, though. I was saying sourcing one would be cool to do.

EDIT: As is perpetually the case with the D2, a scoshe of google fu and you get this: https://www.google.fr/search?q=STC50...RgcJaCGbVHh6M:

 

I just bought the Launch CReader Elite X431 and have the same issue. 2016 LR4. It verifies keys, apparently recovers keys but I can't figure out how to program new keys. SOL I guess.

 

The GAP IID tool can program keys and a lot of other stuff for the newer Rovers, I just programmed a fob on my 2014 LR4. Its not cheap but it is one of the best scantools/programmers for the newer Rovers.

 

I picked up the Launch Elite scanner a few weeks ago. I was able to program a new key using the videos above. Kind of clunky, but it works. I had more problem getting the key cut than programming it. Local it to the oldest locksmith company in the area - took 30 minutes and a bunch of cheap blanks to finally get a key to work. I'm glad he did practice keys before cutting the fob key
