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 clearing the memory helps, if not then it could be...

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 bouincing, so i changed my drivers door lock...

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 the rookie questions.

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

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 disable and drive the car. So two questions: 1...

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 all look the same) then chose one online that showed...

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 done, or had someone do, to get things working again.

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 is the case then, my key and fob are correct and...

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 key, all the doors unlock with it. so i know its all...

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 worth looking into a green dot, as i think the one...

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 Classic Rides North Wales though, worth a check out...
