keyfob issues
Hello , Very Happy right i went to unlock my 14 plate with the keyfob and nothing , so I opened the door with the key , opened door (alarm went off) and tried key in ignition and nothing Big Cry .
So I assumed that the keyfob needed a battery , so went to local land rover place and they told me there is no battery in the keyfob :shock:and that it needs a new keyfob as it recharges off the ignition , is this true ?
I find it hard to believe Shocked
Please help defender is parked in doorway of a building I really need to get in to Rolling with laughter

Nope just change it over. The batteries are very common most corner shops should sell, I carry a few in the glove box just in case.

Whilst I too would like to see the above photos.... Rolling with laughter you might also like to follow the following which worked for me Thumbs Up

Procedure(basics)....
Insert key and turn to position II(ignition on).
Turn key to position O(Ignition off).
Remove the back of the fob and remove the battery.
Hold one button for minimum 5 seconds to drain any residual power in the fob.
Fit the new battery ensuring contacts are clean and polarity is correct.
Reassemble the fob.
From outside the car operate the LOCK button at least 4 times(this synchronises the fob).
Press unlock to unlock.
All done.

Thumbs Up

PS I cannot believe the main dealer said it doesn't have a battery Shocked that's just disgraceful service! James

or just pop it open and swap the battery. The push the lock button 4 or 5 times to resync it. I've done that loads of times without bothering with the above and suffered no adverse effect. I've also done it on Rover fobs (same fob as early Puma's) for at least 20 years.

It's true of the latest keyless ignition vehicles (ie Range Rover, Discovery etc), i expect they were just getting confused about which fob you had. As yours is a 2014 car, i expect the fob is the newer style with the chrome bit on it? The look identical to the keyless entry ones used on the current range.

Exactly, but the dealer parts bod probably just looked at the fob and mistook it for the Range Rover/Discovery type one, as they look the same.

I have the new style fob, it’s been flat for some time.

I have just replaced the battery and it won’t unlock the car at all.

I Have tried the old method of key - 2 back to 0 and press the button a few times to sync.

Any ideas?

Thanks all
I've got a replacement key from remotekey.co.uk and couldn't get it working after replacing the battery. Followed the steps above and worked first time
