Land Rover LR2 key fob issue
Hello I am currently having issues with my Rover, it simply won’t accept my key fob. I took it to a dealer and they essentially told me it’d be really expensive to fix. I asked a locksmith if he could program it, if that was the issue, and he said this vehicle had to be taken to a dealer. So I’m stuck. I am using the same key fob that used to work perfectly on it, although after not using it for a month or so, it simply would not accept my key fob. Now it’s been two years without being able to use my Land Rover. I should mention, though, that the buttons on the fob DO work, but it simply spits my key fob out when I put it in. I was wondering if simply replacing the ignition system or the starter system would solve my issue but I must admit I don’t know too much about how it works. So please, point me in the right direction and I’ll investigate. Thank you, have a great day.

and sure:
and well I genuinely can’t recall.. it’s been a year or so.. I’d have to get in touch with the person who worked on it.. if they even remember

FOBs can only be programmed by dealers unless you want to buy the very expensive computer and software that lets you do that (among many other things).

So the vehicle has not been driven for over a year? That's bad for LR2/FL2s...............next time leave a smart charger connected. Sounds like battery issues, corrupt modules. Do what is suggested in post #5. The remote battery may also be on it's way out. That's a nice little soldering job once you source the battery, check youtube for the re & re video.

Right.. I really don’t think that’s the case or they would have told me that I suppose.. and like I said, I don’t really recall what they diagnosed, I was a bit out of the loop, admittedly. Do you recommend getting in touch with the ones who worked on it? I’d definitely have to put some work into doing that..

Okay I’ll go ahead and test my battery as soon as I can and see if that’s the culprit, and now I remember, I didn’t use the car because I had lost the key fob for about a month, so in terms of what I did to mess it up, I just didn’t use it.
