I have heard two different things on this subject. My wife slammed her key fob in the rear door, so i have to get a new one.

My shop says I can get a used key off of ebay and he can program it to work.

Other things i have read say it is not possible and I need one with bar codes or something like that.

Please guide me!

Depends on the computer the shop has. But the bar code CAN be retrieved if the shop has a computer that requires it.

 

I went to get a key made for te door just incase a lock out and te guy says after he put it in his reader for chips , he said mine don't have a chip? 1999 is that possible? Don't want to put it in ignition and find out I messed up something.

 

you key does not have chip in it, that is why he can not read it.

 

And you Valentine's Day will improve if you don't make a big deal about the key, etc.

 

I've been using a $6 metal key for a few weeks now in my 01.

No chips/fobs are necessary.

 

$6 metal keys:

Key Men - Catalog #: X239

I'll have to post a photo and see about getting the plastic headed ones.

 

I bought the rubber coated keys off eBay, $10 for a pair with free shipping. Bring the key to any locksmith and they can cut it. Its a pretty standard key, ilco mv4-p. The locksmith would probably have them in stock...

For reference this is what I got on eBay:
1994 2004 Land Rover Discovery Key Blank Pair Free Shipping | eBay

 

You can buy the same key at your local small town hardware for $4 and have it cut there.

 

Not always - my local Ace couldn't get them. But they did cut the ones I got off ebay.
