Hi guys,

I've just been rooting around to find a live for central locking i'm fitting and came across this box. Is this an alarm, can somebody confirm?

YWC106270

As far as I was aware...I didn't have one. I just have (multiple) keys, no fob. How do these stock units work? Are they just an immobiliser? Should I have a special key/fob? Any reason why it would have been disconnected (i've not investigated any further than taking a pic do far, so might be connected, might not).

Assuming it is working, or can be, how would I go about getting a fob? Apologies for my ignorance, new to land rover

Ta in advance,

It's a 2001 TD5...

No it is the Dim-Dip system for the headlights.

It probably doesn't work anymore. Is it unplugged - when they failed they often failed in dimmed dip mode even with light switch off.

Oh, ok then. Why is there a reference to MHZ on there? Googling the top part number brings up 'Alarm Unit ECU' on multiple results... silly Land Rover, very confusing.

Full label;

Oh aye it is an alarm ECU thing, looking at it now it does look different to the Lucas DimDip controller I can't read the codes from the picture.

Is it a Td5?

Have a chat with this company (he's bloody good) Land Rover EKA Code (Emergency Key Access) Code

I contacted him recently as I managed to activate a my factory immobiliser that I didn't know I had (via nanocom) I was left stranded on my driveway for 2 days (and lost 2 days work)

His device sorted it and I now have a factory immobiliser/key fob and apparently I could activate an alarm too if I wanted...!!

Hmmmm, I've seen him before. Will have a ponder.

Thinking about it now, it can't be wired in or powered up as I don't have a fob or immobiliser key and it starts ok?!?

It still provides the correct code for the ecu to start the engine get a fob and you can program it up with nanocom

Ouch, just looked up the price. As much as i'd like one, I don't have that much disposable cash.

Anybody in Herts got one and I can pay in beer tokens? I need to verify the unit is even plugged in and functioning I guess.
