If your Land Rover key fob is malfunctioning or not being recognized, follow these steps to reprogram it quickly:

  • Begin outside your vehicle, ensuring all doors are shut. Press and hold the “Lock” button on the key fob. While doing so, insert the key into the lock on the driver’s side door.
  • Continue holding the “Lock” button. Now, turn the key clockwise in the lock and hold for three seconds. After this, return the key to the central position and remove it from the lock, all while still pressing the “Lock” button.
  • Release the “Lock” button after removing the key from the door lock. This action will sync your Land Rover key fob with your vehicle, restoring the remote control functions for the locks.
