Land Rover Key Replacement

As the years go by and technology moves forward in leaps and bounds, car keys are becoming more advanced and high-tech than we ever imagined they would be. Sadly, that also means that getting a replacement key made is becoming more and more expensive. When you go to a Land Rover dealer to have your car keys replaced you may find yourself paying extortionate prices. This is because there are innovative technologies installed in both the key and the car that is designed to keep your car safe.
After 1995, most manufactured cars were and still are fitted with an immobiliser. While the design of immobilisers and their placement in the car may have changed over the years, their purpose and basic function are still fundamentally the same. Car keys have a unique transponder chip inside of them. When you place them in the ignition the immobiliser in your Land Rover will recognise your chip and turn on the car. If you use a key without a transponder chip that’s programmed specifically to your car you will find that your Land Rover won’t turn on or it may immediately switch off after you’ve started it. With this system in place, only a person carrying your key can use your car and you can, in fact, deactivate your key if it is lost or stolen.
While this is a brilliant technology that has likely prevented a lot of cars being stolen, it has become more difficult to replace car keys because in order to work they need to be programmed specifically to your car. This is why you should never purchase keys from unlicensed or second-hand sellers. The keys they sell you will not be programmed to your car and so have a high probability of not working. You could either buy your replacement keys from on official Land Rover dealer, which may be expensive and inconvenient, or you could buy your replacement Land Rover keys from Car Keys Solutions. Our experts can easily programme newly made keys or reprogram your keys if they desynchronise.
