Land Rover Key Types We Program
Older Flip Key Fob
Older Land Rover models through roughly 2011 including early Discovery and Freelander used a flip-style remote with a folding blade. These are simpler to replace than modern proximity keys.
Smart Proximity Key
Used on all Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, Discovery Sport, and Defender from approximately 2012 onward. Stays in pocket or bag. Touch handle to unlock, push-button start. Requires JLR-compatible programming tools.
Defender Smart Key
Current Defender 90 and 110 (2020 onward) use an updated key with a similar proximity profile but more recent software stack. Programming confirmed on most VINs.
All-Keys-Lost Reset
Lost all keys on a Range Rover or Discovery? The vehicle's BCM must be reset and new keys paired from scratch. This is the most complex Land Rover job and takes the longest. Call with your VIN for a quote and we confirm whether it can be done on-site for your specific model year.

Why are Land Rover keys so expensive compared to other makes?
Land Rover and Range Rover use PATS-encrypted smart keys that must be VIN-coded and paired via JLR-compatible diagnostic software. The keys themselves are more expensive to source than keys for mainstream makes, and the programming equipment is specialized. Even so, we are typically 30 to 50 percent less than the Westchester Land Rover dealers.
