Activity key
Hi all,

i would like to get an activity key for my 23MY HSE 110. Now apparently its not just a case of buying the watch and having it programmed. I apparently also need a module or something. The following has been given to me:

LR170911 MODULE - PASSIVE
LR164065 REMOTE CTRL SYS-

I have watched PowerfulUk (Simon)'s youtube and the LR170911 was not mentioned.

Does anyone know if this is correct and that I do need that module?

Thank you. "Overlanding With Bruce" - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@OverlandingwithBruce

Pretty sure you only need the module for the 2020 models. With newer ones just a case of coding the activity watch like a spare key.

I think. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

Been through this with Landrover UK. They are adamant that as I already have 2 keys the Security Module on my MY22 will be locked down so tight that not even Pathfinder will be able to add the third key. Buying a new module is the only way. This is despite the module having room for 3 keys - it leaves the factory locked unless they only gave you 1 key.

Totally at odds with what it says in their online Accessory brochure though. I threatened them with Trading Standards but didn't get very far!

If you Google the upgrade services available from a certain third party they offer the Activity Key for £500 unless your car came with 2 keys when it will be £700. As far as I know the module is around £180 so that tallies.

I've watched the PowerfulUK video which suggests you can add the 3rd key. A previous video they had for adding the Activity Key involved them fitting a new KVM - it looks like the same vehicle, so I'm not convinced they did it on a factory spec KVM.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but no one has yet been able to confirm that they have successfully added a 3rd key to a car delivered with 2 keys with the origonal KVM fitted. Defender D300 HSE 110 MY22 Pangea Green

thank you.

I have found out that since I have not received my second key yet the security module has not been locked yet so they will be able to program the Activity key and second/spare key at the same time. "Overlanding With Bruce" - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@OverlandingwithBruce

l imagine this is the result of increased anti theft security measures.

Can't be a bad thing when you look at how many Discovery and RR are being stolen.

My car is going into the dealer this week and I've asked them to see if my KVM is locked or not. I have 2 keys.

Sorry for delay in responding.
My car went into dealers. At collection time, I askled the question, only to be told, the head technitian thinks it should be just a case of coding a new key.
