hmm good point, unsure how to test it myself. didnt realise you could clear the RF Memory, ill do that tonight. Dont think its the fob as its reasonably new. dont think its the microswitches as i changed the drivers side recently. im hoping...

Do you know for sure your RF receiver is a good one? Clear the RF memory in the BECM, then try to sync using the key in the drivers door lock method. If that doesn't work recheck the RF memory, if it is still zero you may have a duff receiver...

hey guys, thought id come back and let you know how things were going. i turned off the immobiliser and the EKA using diagnostics tool and this fixed my EKA lockout issue. i changed my rf reciever to a genuine MK3 however, locks were still...

Hi Just wondering did you ever get to the end of this problem. something same happening with mine.

Given that it's a 1995 car, and might have an earlier BECM, it's probably worth trying Kieth's settings. Disable both Immo & EKA using diagnostic, and then make sure you successfully write settings. Then lock & unlock the car using the FOB...

If the Fob is not synchronised it will not work. With EKA and immobiliser turned off, the key blade will work as long as it fits the lock and the door lock micro switches are in working order.

So how is the OP operating the car using the key blade without entering EKA?

great stuff, thanks chaps, will have a bash at this later this week. ill come back and let you know how i get on. also out of interest, could it be that they key/fob arent syncronised? or would that be doing something different? apologies for...

That is how I run both mine, it means that access and starting with the key blade is always possible if the FOB fails, although if locked with the FOB and unlocked with the blade, a lock unlock cycle with the blade may be needed. I did this...

so a potential fix could be to turn both the immobiliser and thr eka off using diagnostics tool?

I doesn't make a lot of sense for the EKA to operate the way you describe but with JLR anything is possible. edit: @pwood999 Having re-read your posts the penny has dropped. I realise you are not turning off the immobiliser when you turn off...

Ahoy all. so some time has passed. i have changed the RF receiver to a Mk3 True Green dot. the key fob worked a few times, happy days. Came to get into it the next day, "engine disabled". i now have to input the EKA code every time i want to...

It's all pre ODBII so some modules will be readable from a bog standard reader, but most won't I'm afraid. I suggest you check your RF box. Plug it in if it isn't and try to sync your fob. You won't flatten the battery on 10 mins of testing...

thank you for the location info, will have a dig out tomorrow. and also the warning about the green dots! my first action was to find pictures of what the internals of the three versions looked like so i could tell them apart (as the housings...

The antenna is in the window next to the door pillar, it plugs directly into the receiver. That's just behind the button to release the back seat. With respect to the green dot, they were more expensive than the original version so people were...

incredible information, thank you so much for the insight. An RF unit sounds like the culprit really then. Where would the antenna for it be on the vehicle? if thats been removed on mine, it would make sense. hence what the previous owner has...

So the first itteration of the RF unit isn't worth the plastic it's printed on. Built for a pre-internet age it's no good at filtering out possible key signals from any remote doorbell, weather station, security camera, or anything else that...

i use the EAS Unlock V4 currently, which is compatible. so what youre saying then is that the key i have is correct and that its fob is programmed and compatible with my becm. otherwise it would be throing me into EKA mode every time? if that...

Do you have yo use the EKA code when you unlock with the key? If not, the function has been turned off in the BECM and so whatever you do with the FOB should not require you to use the EKA code. When you unlock with the key, do all doors...

Genuine LR second key is a LR dealer only option. Worth it I think... it's always nice to have a second car key. You need to go to the LR dealer in person and order it from the spares dept though. You can't re-program an old used key to your...

hi, no i do not have to use the eka code every time i unlock with the key. and the EKA has not been turned off in the BeCM, the first thing i did was plug my diagnostics unit in to check settings etc. when i unlock the drivers door with the...

ah thanks for the info. all the prvious owner said was not to use the fob. i have since got back in touch with him, hes not entirely sure himself and hes said that he was told previously that the car needs a new RF reciever. so it might be...

i tried the JLR dealer route first, but couldnt find any contact details of who to speak to. Ive read the other threads and heard of the illusive MrSporty, and have direct messaged him and emailed his company, awaiting reply. Id not heard of...

For new keys, it is go to JLR dealer and they order you a new one pre programmed for a lot of money or have a chat with classic rides north wales who can sort out a clone key which is probable your best bet, there was a guy on here @MrSporty who...

Key Fob/Central Locking. My names Frank_the-tank and im a new P38 owner! (what have i done...) Mine is a 1995 4.0L GEMS Automatic Flavour and i love it to pieces. Im from North West Midlands UK and my background is military mechanical...

Welcome to the world of P38 ownership. For a better response ask in this section https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/range-rover.10/ It can get a bit complicated so expect a few questions. Think there’s a place in wales that could help but can’t...
