Question 1

I lost all my Land Rover keys. Can you still make a new one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the most complex jobs in the automotive locksmith world, and Land Rovers are among the most involved. The process requires accessing or resetting the KVM or RFA module, cutting a new key from the vehicle's lock data, and programming everything fresh. Land Rover dealers quote $2,500 to $5,000 for AKL because they often replace the entire security module. One 2021 RDX owner lost both keys and had a locksmith handle it for $300, while the dealer would not even take the job. We come to you and do the same work at your location for significantly less than the dealer.

Question 2

Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

Accepted Answer

Not for most Land Rover models. A mobile locksmith with JLR-specific tools can handle all-keys-lost right where the vehicle sits. Land Rover dealers will tell you to flatbed the vehicle in, which is expensive on a full-size Range Rover or Discovery. Once it is at the dealer, owners report the vehicle sitting for weeks or months. One owner described their car being at the dealer from June through September while parts were ordered, arrived defective, and reordered. We come to you and handle everything on site, avoiding the flatbed and the open-ended dealer timeline.

Question 3

How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

Accepted Answer

On site, most Land Rover AKL jobs take 1 to 2 hours depending on the model and security generation. Older Discovery and LR3 models may require module bench work that adds complexity. Newer Range Rovers with encrypted KVM modules require careful diagnostic sequences. At the dealer, the same work stretches to weeks or months because of parts ordering and scheduling. One owner waited seven months for a dealer key on a 2006 HSE. Another had their vehicle sit at the dealer for nine months waiting on a KVM and fuse block. We handle AKL same-day in most cases.

Question 4

What battery does the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover key fob use?

Accepted Answer

The 2023 Land Rover Range Rover uses a CR2032 battery. When we do an all-keys-lost job, the new key always comes with a fresh battery installed. You will not need to worry about battery life on your new key for a long time. We also recommend keeping a spare battery at home once you have your key, since a dead fob on a Land Rover smart key system can trigger "key not detected" warnings and leave you unable to start the vehicle normally.

Question 5

Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and on Land Rovers we strongly recommend it. JLR security systems erase all existing key IDs during a programming session, so any keys not present will stop working. That means adding a second key while we are already connected costs less than calling us back for a separate visit later. On some newer Land Rover models, the system actually requires a minimum of two keys to be programmed during an AKL session. If you just went through all-keys-lost on a vehicle where replacement keys cost $500 to $1,300 each at the dealer, the last thing you want is to be in that situation again.
