My code is 5c7c... so I assume that is 5-12-7-12, right?

That leaves ample room for error :)

What do you do between entering the digits? I enter 5 as outlined on the first page by sierra ferry...how does the car then know I have started entering the second digit and am not just keeping on going with the first digit?

read again the instructions...first digit(number) is to unlock, second to lock and so on, so for yours 5 times unlock then 12 times lock, etc

the best is to set your own code with nanocom from a combination of small numbers, between 1 and 5 to be easyer to insert, eg 2 1 4 3 or so

hi guys and girls would one of you educated people enlighten me re entering the EKA code ? when going from unlock to lock is that movement counted as one of the digits or does one go from unlock to lock and then enter the digits
Regards and many thanks in anticipation Kevin

Hi Kevin, when going from one to the other, it is essential that before going for example, lock from unlock, you allow the key to rest at the centre position, maybe like this:

unlock, unlock unlock (for 3) then allow to rest at centre (just for a second), then lock, lock (for 2) then allow to rest at centre, etc etc

You get the idea ?

Good luck

Dave

Hi All

New to forum.

After having problems getting into My D2 V8 with the fob I followed EKA instructions from here and handbook that I had ( not original to vehicle) as well as other places and had no luck.

My hand book did not mention and no post that I have seen here seems to mention that: YOU MUST WAIT 5 MINUTES after the final key turn before you enter the vehicle. during the 5 minutes the red light will flash intermittently and then flash at 8 times a second when it is time to enter. On entry YOU MUST TURN KEY TO POSITION 2 within 30 seconds.

If I have repeated something posted before I apologise.

Anyway I am now in. Fob still doesn't work but at least I am on the move.

Hi all, Just had a nightmare of a time de-immobilizing my discovery 2. I found i was only able to enter code properly with these comprehensive instructions from the guidebook pdf(lost original), page 19:
http://www.discovery2.co.uk/pdf_files/01myhandbook.html

I don't know why they have to make is so damned hard
 
Hi Can anybody tell me where I can get my EKA code from? I have no paperwork that tells me what it is....
Getting fed up of the alarm going of every time I open the door. Bet the neighbours are as well.
Cheers
Dave

Tis to be found further up the thread, but basically you have to prove to a Land Rover dealer that you are the legal keeper of the car. He should then give you all the codes that should have come on a little card in the wallet with your handbook that you haven't got! Or you do something electronic with a good diagnostics, which I wouldn't begin to know anything about! Read the whole thread!

Hi, but why do you keep opening the door as long as the vehicle is immobilised?
 
Thanks.
I’ve read the thread and know how to do it I just need the EKA code to do it. Engine is not immobilised. Just cant turn the alarm off. I have to open the disco with the key......
Start the engine and the alarm stops.....

That’s where your going wrong. Use the fob to unlock and unset the alarm system at the same time, so if u have an issue with your fob then why not resolve it?
 
You don't need a fob. Mine is in a drawer and it was for another lock I think.
Do the EKA once, then turn the alarm off. Once and for all. Make 3 times sure all alarm options are gone.
Make a copy of your key.

You still have central locking on the dash and unlocking or locking twice.

I think you missed post #30... as long as the vehicle starts no need for the EKA cos the tester will comunicate with the BCU once the vehicle was started. EKA is for immobiliser
