Lost keyfob.

We've lost one of the key fobs at work - cant find it anywhere. Mad So having to use the spare at the moment.
What are the issues around obtaining a replacement?
Can I get the FL2 re-coded so that the lost keyfob wouldnt work if found by an undersirable ? Jules

Quote:
A total of 30 'slots' are available in the CJB software to allow for replacement, and the addition of remote handsets. In service, the Land Rover approved diagnostic system may be used to communicate with the CJB for the following:

* Identification of remote handset allocation within the CJB.
* Enabling of new remote handsets.
* Disabling of existing remote handsets.
* Re-enabling a previously disabled remote handset.

If the remote handset rolling code loses synchronization with the CJB, the remote handset functions will not operate. Synchronization between the remote handset and CJB is restored by starting the engine with the affected remote handset, and allowing the engine to run for a minimum of 6 minutes.

So, yes, the lost key can be disabled.

Re obtaining a new one, you will need both the key itself and programming to pair key with car.

Keys are expensive from LR dealers. They can be obtained via eBay, but you need to be careful - once it's been programmed to a car the key cannot be re-programmed, so you need a new key which has never been used. Then it will need programmed to the car, and if you want the emergency key blade you'll have to get that cut too.

I included the last bit of the quote above because it's interesting and not generally known!

Make sure you have a new keys and the dealer clears the old key code.

If your unlucky enough to have your car stolen the insurance company will insist on both keys ! Lost keys are not accepted and may invalidate your insurance!

Have you definately lost your key or is it possible its been nicked ? And they are waiting to come back and collect the car. Thieves these days are quitr adapt at using fishing rods through letter boxes and fishing for keys on hooks and hall tables !
