The KVM is the keyless vehicle module. Land Rover started locking down the KVM to prevent people breaking into cars and using a tool to code a new key to the car and then steal it. But it seems that not all KVM's are locked down eg if you car was only supplied with one key the KVM was left unlocked so that the dealer could add your second key when it arrived. Some of the earlier cars are also unlocked for whatever reasons so that may be one of the videos that you watched. If your KVM is locked that means the IID tool can't add a another key and the dealers Pathfinder system is unable to also, you have to replace the KVM to replace keys. Now I notice above that Brockmoor Howard has had a key added by using an established car key company but I don't know how this company bypassed the 'locked' KVM

I got my activity key today and was able to code it using the IID tool without issue. My car is a 2023.5 and came with 2 keys, so it seems like it would have the updated KVM. However I do have the analog gauges, so perhaps they skimped on the KVM as well.

One thing to note is the vehicle has to be in service mode, which you can enable from the Land Rover phone app.

That's brilliant, glad you tried it and it worked  Cheers Ian

After using it for a few minutes I noticed some odd behavior
- Approach unlock / lock doesn't work
- I can unlock the car using the button on the door handle, but I cant lock it that way

Anyone know if that's expected? I could understand approach unlock/lock not functioning as it seems the band is very conservative with power so it may not be broadcasting all the time. But it's strange that the lock button does not work.

The rear hatch functions normally.

I think I have it working also but can't be certain as I haven't got access to a trailer at the moment, I thought I may have been able to trick the system with a trailer board plugged in But, I can get it to operate and click the start button which is the farthest I've been yet with it, unfortunately when I try to move it then pings up "trailer not detected" and switches itself out of the tow assist mode, so I'm pretty confident it's working

One thing that you mentioned was not getting it to show up straight away, if you are doing an activation that involves adding something to the Pivi screen you can always reboot Pivi after the car has gone to sleep but you can also run a programme on the IID tool. I do this after most activations now and can get things to show up straight after.

I do have approach unlock and lock enabled, and it does work with the key fobs but not the activity key.
Does yours work with your activity key?
