BECM is v39 apparently.
How do you enter the code / disable the imobiliser/eka ?

I suspect that my issue is that I have the wring code :(
 
I agree but the evidence says otherwise and wasnt there a spark when you connected it?

Hi, yes the RF Receiver is fully connected (I now have 2x Mk3, green dot ones !).

the battery is only reading 12.1V so I wonder if I should give it a little love.

I’m concerned that there are 2 EKA codes scribbled in the handbook, why would that change ?

can a dealer access read the EKA code from the becm if that has been changed snd not re-synched with the VIN ?

thanjs again

Is one EKA code and other radio code Thats what I have in my handbook
You have turned key in lock to left 4 times before entering EKA haven't you. This lets car know the EKA is going to be entered

Hi, yes there are two EKA codes handwritten in the users guide, and a different radio code too.

I’m sure if I could understand the process better, I could work it out. There just seem to be some variables I can’t quite get my head around, like why does it sometimes beep with every key turn and at other times sound the alarm if the door is opened.

and I still need to work out why the battery drained in the first place.

let’s hope JLR come up with the goods in the shape of a working code. -I’ve tried the two I have both with key entry and by trying to enter it in nanocom -although I may be doing that wrongly.

sorry, I’m rambling. ‍

Aha !
I found how to try and ‘disarm’ in nanocom.
It’s in the utility menu.

somi pooped in the EKA code and it said it had worked -ie. it told the BECM to disable the alarm -so I know I’ve got the right code.

I thought this would let me sync my keys.

but it didn’t and I now have the Keycode Lockout message on the display.

so, one step forwards....

Key code lockout on dash means too many attempts made to unlock. First time you have to wait 30 mins for it to clear then longer and longer each try. I personally would now wait til morning for it to clear then try again

Aye don’t worry, the beeping will annoy the neighbours.
at least I know the code is right as when I popped it in wrongly it told me the EKA was wrong.

it seems the gash info: French, LHD, Manual, etc may be down to low voltage (from a spanking new battery) will give it a good charging too and see what tomorrow brings

Brilliant, Thank you !
oh and from the nanocom manual:

400A903E-42DA-4D7B-8498-159A3511F3F1.jpeg
 
Success !!!

The nice chap from JLR Historic vehicles came back with a third (different!) EKA code and one for the (long gone) radio.

tried inputting via the lock but no joy.

nanocon, however, is your friend.

Just in case anyone else ends up in this pickle here’s how to do it:

get in car, lock all doors manually.
Key in ignition but not turned
Fire up nanocom and navigate to:
P38/Gems/BECM/Utility
On the last page of utility, there’s the disarm option.
Enter the EKA and press Disarm
If it works, all the doors will unlock and you can resync the key in the usual way (unlock while pressing button for 5, turn to unlock and hold button for 5)

feel like I got out of jail there !

suspect I should look into a second key !

thsnks everyone for all the help, support and advice -this community really is a wee goldmine !
 
Yea

Well done for sticking in there:)
I wonder how many others are running around with what they think the correct EKA:)
Oh hang on that might be me:oops:


and a new door lock:D

yeah it’s a worry that the ‘right’ code didn’t work with the lock !

maybe I rushed it or something
 
I should also note that the BECM settings in nanocom now make sense, although the ‘Police’ option seems to be selected and probably shouldn’t be.

The BECM is unlocked and now shows the EKA and the fob code
