WHAT THE SERVICE IS

Land Rover Key Replacement in Worthing

Most Land Rover and Range Rover models built in the last fifteen years use a smart key, a proximity key that opens the doors and allows push button start while it stays in your pocket. A replacement Land Rover key has to be coded to two things, the keyless vehicle module that recognises the key and the immobiliser that lets the engine run. It is the Land Rover side of car key replacement, and the other makes are listed under the car makes we cover.

Spare Land Rover Keys When One Key Still Works

With a working key, a new key is added alongside it. It is the quickest and cheapest route on any Land Rover, and on the newest models the most reliable one. The wider service is a spare car key.

KVM AND BCM

KVM, BCM and the Newest Systems by Model

The model and year decide where the key data lives. On older models it sits with the body control module, the BCM, and on smart key models in the keyless vehicle module, the KVM, working with the RFA receiver. The registration or VIN confirms which one before anyone sets off.

If your Land Rover needs the dealer, you are told on the call, before anyone sets off, so you never pay for a visit that cannot finish.

KEY TYPES

Land Rover Key Types

The key in your hand points to the system behind it.

The Land Rover Smart Key

The proximity key for keyless entry and push button start. The car senses it nearby and the KVM checks its code before the doors open or the engine starts. It is the same kind of work as smart key replacement, with Land Rover software.

The Remote Flip Key

Older Freelander and Discovery models use a remote key with a flip blade, cut to the locks and coded to the immobiliser in the same visit.

The Emergency Key Blade

Every smart key hides a metal emergency blade for the driver door. On many models from about 2012 it is the HU101 profile, the same blade as the Ford key replacement range, and Land Rover key cutting for the blade is done in the van as part of the job.

UWB Smart Keys

From the 2021 model year, Land Rover keys use ultra wideband, known as UWB. The car measures the real distance to the key, which blocks relay theft.

RANGE ROVER

Range Rover Key Replacement

Range Rover key replacement is the most asked about job on any Land Rover, and each Range Rover model has its own points to check.

Range Rover

The full size Range Rover, often called the Vogue, uses the KVM from about 2012 to 2018. Later cars are confirmed on the call, and the newest Range Rover from 2022 uses UWB keys on the latest platform.

Range Rover Sport

The Sport follows the same pattern. Cars from about 2013 to 2018 use the KVM and are covered at the car, while later and newest Sport models are confirmed on the call.

Range Rover Evoque

The first Evoque, to 2019, uses the KVM and is covered at the car, even with no key left. The second Evoque sits on the newer platform.

Range Rover Velar

The Velar uses a smart key from launch. Spares are added with a working key, and all keys lost is confirmed on the call.

DISCOVERY AND DEFENDER

Discovery, Discovery Sport and Defender Keys

The rest of the Land Rover range covers everything from family seven seaters to working vehicles.

Discovery and Discovery Sport

The Discovery 4 and the first Discovery Sport use the KVM and are coded at the car. Newer Discovery Sport models use the latest system.

Defender

The classic Defender used a simple key with a separate immobiliser fob, while the Defender from 2020 uses a UWB smart key on the newest platform.

Freelander 2

The Freelander 2 uses a remote key on earlier cars and a smart key on later ones, both covered at the car.

WHAT IT COSTS

Land Rover Key Replacement Cost

Land Rover keys cost more than most makes because of the smart key, the KVM and the software. These are typical 2026 UK prices.

JobTypical price
Older Land Rover remote key or replacement key fob£65 to £220 plus VAT
Land Rover or Range Rover key with a mobile locksmithFrom £99 to £239
Smart key for a newer premium model£250 to £450
All keys lost, KVM modelsHigher, agreed on the call
Land Rover dealer£500 to £600 or more

The dealer often orders the key before it can be coded, while a mobile locksmith usually finishes in one to two hours at the car.

COST FACTORS

What Drives the Cost of a Land Rover Key

Four things move the price of a Land Rover key.

The Model and Year

Older remote keys cost least, KVM smart keys more, and the newest UWB keys most.

Whether a Key Still Works

Adding a key costs less than all keys lost, where the data has to be read from the KVM first.

Genuine or Aftermarket Key

A genuine key costs more than a good aftermarket one, and the difference is said on the call.

The Time of the Call

A night or weekend visit can cost more, and that is agreed before a van leaves.

ALL KEYS LOST

Lost Land Rover Keys and All Keys Lost

On KVM models, the security data is read from the module, a new smart key is coded, and the lost keys are removed so they can no longer open or start the car. That removal is the step described under a car immobiliser reset, and the full lost key process is under lost car keys.

Proving Ownership

A new key is only made against the V5C and photo ID in the same name, with the VIN checked against the car.

When the Dealer Is Needed

On the newest models, all keys lost usually has to go through a Land Rover dealer. You are told this on the call, not at the car.

CHECK FIRST

Smart Key Not Found, Check These First

A smart key not found or key not recognised message does not always mean a new key. These are the usual causes and what fixes each one.

What you noticeLikely causeWhat fixes it

Key symbol flashing, car will not startKey no longer coded, or a weak transponderCoding the key again, or car key programming

Start button dead, steering will not freeElectric steering lock fault, common on Evoque and Discovery SportSteering lock replacement
Keys locked inside the carNo fault with the keyLocked keys in car
RELAY THEFT

Keeping a Land Rover Key Safe From Relay Theft

Relay theft passes the signal from a key inside the house to the car on the drive, and Range Rover models have long been a target.

UWB Keys and Security Updates

UWB keys from the 2021 model year measure the true distance to the key, so a relayed signal does not work. Land Rover has also released security updates for many vehicles from 2016 onwards, which a dealer applies.

Simple Steps at Home

Keep older, non UWB keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door, use a steering wheel lock, and consider a tracker. If a key is stolen, have it removed from the car straight away.
