Did not meet my deductible of $500. Unfortunately, for me, I am at the mercy of the dealer now. Plus I still have to get the lock fixed. Got a quote of $95. AAA said they will reimburse me $100 due to their inability to fix it. Blessed that my window guy could do it. Dealer wanted $350 to remove and replace window.

What is the Multi-Tester Pro screen?

Did he remove the side window from the cargo area?

Let us know how much the dealership charged.

What is the PLIP key?

I am under the impression that it can only superlock if the alarm was initially set with the remote. My remote quit working for me, I ended up selling it to someone on here and only use my key to lock it if absolutely necessary to lock it, which I rarely do.

actually if you take the handle off the door on the outside and insert a screwdriver into the latch it will disarm it.

done it tons of times.

But how do you remove the handle from the outside without messing things up?

Good info but not exactly what I need
Maybe you can help me. Have a Defender extreme and live in a remote part of NT-no agents or computer access. Car has a Nano com evolution interface connected but no info came with it.
I have only 1 remote on the keyring which was lost a while ago (no car) and since found. Rover database/records have no records of pin for immobilizer manual key entry into ignition lock.
I have been informed by Darwin Rover that they must have the car to interface with computer to disconnect the immobilizer which I can only do when the 700km track out of here is open-august-november generally.
Can I post keys and remote to dealership to have the remote duplicated which would solve the issue that if I again lose or damaged the remote I am royally stuffed!
Hope you can help.

So the remote will not talk to the truck?
And the question is can the dealer program a new remote with the truck being there?
No, they cannot.
I think it might be possible to send them the trucks alarm unit and remote and they might beable to program them that way.
But I think your best bet is taking them the whole truck and remote and having them disable the alarm completly since you live in such a remote area.

Default imobilizer

thanks for getting back to me
defender 2004 td5 90 extreme alive
have nanocom diagnostic interface built in but no manuals
have relocated keys with security remote-working fine
can a dealer duplicate the remote without the vehicle-they are unsure!
next time i visit a dealer will definately have system removed
Incidentally the TC and ABS amber lights remain ON when driving although both systems working fine, any significance?

Sorry but I don't have documents on one that new. You could try the TOPIx part of the Land Rover corporate site, you can download owner manuals free, and for a fee the actual shop manuals. Another thought would be that if you are really high cost to get to a dealer, might consider owning your own advanced diagnostic meter or software, like a Hawkeye. Don't know if anyone rents that gear with a deposit.
