Thanks for the video Simon. The one thing that i have noticed on left hand drive models is that people have problems with the remote lock and unlock not functioning all the time. We often have to take the key out of our pockets and press the button.

Keyless Relay Theft is not applicable to the Defender or other Land Rover vehicles with the same key type/shape. This is due to the use of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology and Satellite Anchor Transceivers that are placed around the vehicle to pinpoint the actual location of the key.

I´m using a smartkeylesskeeper for my car and it is working flawlessly. So you can not even forget to disable a function becuase it is installed inside the key. Thank you for the video

Ha best explanation ever. 'Hello I'm Tony'. Ive just ask my key what he's called. Apparently he's called Alan.

Morning Simon Love your jumpers very fitting for a Landrover owner.. I’ve just tried this out on my recent 2023 defender 😢.. Unfortunately didn’t work. Though I didn’t try it on my 2022 as some how missed this video.. Ps when I returned my 2022 defender to the dealer they loved your rear bumper and mirror guards..

Sometimes I don’t even care about the subject of the video, I just watch it to hear him talking… priceless… 😂

Simon…I don’t press the virtual “button” to open the door, I simply pull the handle and it opens. I use that button to lock the drivers/all doors but as it only opens the drivers door, I use the button on the rear doors to open both rear doors and the nsf door for Mrs HQB to get in. Useful information about deactivating for camping or caravanning but I put the key in a metal tin box at night and also set the Guardian mode in the LR app which notifies me of any attempt to open a door whilst parked overnight. I hope that helps! 🤔😀😀Richard.

Thanks for looking into Simon - if your video stops one car from being taken you will have done someone a big favor!

Just tried to re enable keyless on my 110 and had some difficulties. I think you need to do the button press sequence while your in the car with the door open. If I tried to do it with the door closed it simply locked the car.

As usual a great video Simon But please tell me if you are intending to disable the Keyless on your current 90 Defender . As a current Defender owner appreciates your advice and services that you provide - well done .

Will this stop keyless entry working on a second fob? I’m assuming it will, as it looks like this stops the vehicle from receiving and accepting keyless entry signals rather than disabling the signals from being emitted from the fob in the first place, but worth a check?

Mate, your Xmas jumpers are as entertaining as your videos !!! :)

Top tip, make sure your door is open when you do this otherwise it does not work, 2023 model 110

Never work with children, animals or key fobs. It’s always trouble! The biscuit tin will be an even better Faraday shield if you make sure that the two halves are in electrical contact with each other. In other words scrape a bit of paint off both where they touch. Thanks for another helpful video.

This is more related to the remote start feature. I had a few non start problems when tried starting the DS on my app. So I brought the car into JLR and they tested the battery twice and it failed. They put in a new battery under warranty and all is well remote start is working flawlessly. So I'd you having issues it's the battery, it just doesn't like low voltage on the battery.

Simon that’s a bit longwinded you don’t have to do all that. Just unlock drivers door, you don’t need to get in car or switch it on . Then do the keypad presses and that’s it.

So you’ve disabled keyless entry but the fob is still transmitting signals? Otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to turn on the ignition. In that case, I don’t see how this can help. My Mercedes allows me to shut off the fob itself. Does JLR have this feature?

Does this method need to be done with both keys? Or is it disabled in the car?? Thanks 😊

I cannot understand why more main dealers do not tell all their customers about this it would stop so many cars getting stolen I was telling my friend the other day about it and no one seems to hardly know well done for spreading the word

I did it earlier today. Unlock. Open the door. Press the light button x3, then the unlock button. Done. All with 30 seconds of opening the door. No need to turn the ignition on and off first.

Simon Can you please tell us how to re enable this? It’s a pain without it and I’ve tried no end of times to get it working again to no avail. Thanks 👍

Any thoughts on getting a true keyless entry system? Where you just walk up to the car and it unlocks? It’s an activation I think?

Always Great videos thank you.

Thanks Simon, now we know 👍🤓 Check out that fancy steering wheel 😎

What about starting the engine if that's keyless? Does that still work after removing door opening function

Hey Mr. Simon, my right rear door is not opening from inside and outside for my 110 defender, do you how can I fix it?

On my 2018 Mercedes if you double press the lock button when you get out it will disable it for that one time. So if you leave your car outside in certain places you simple just double press it when walking away. Have you tried that? Great video as always! Still have a few months to wait for mine to come :)

Was reading on an evoque forum that disabling keyless contributed to additional battery drain for some vehicles, worth taking some readings?

I’ve tried this on my US spec car a couple times and can’t seem to get it to work. Any word on whether it applies to them. I’ve been having battery drain issues and am wondering if this will help.

How is the Suzuki jimny coming along , any modifications yet or offroad vids coming up

Nice vid as always Simon. One question though, I have 2014 L405 and the Keyless entry doesn't work. I have checked the door handle and they all have sensors in them. I tried this method to kinda reactivate it but to no avail. Any idea on what might be the problem?

You need to add that it need to be done with the drivers door open.

This also works on the Disco 3 and 4 and on Gen. 1 DS (can’t comment about Gen 2 as i didn’t own one). 👍👍

Nearest Land Rover dealership?

I’d be curious if there is actually any evidence of these being stolen through a man in the middle attack such as you describe. They shut down when key is not in range invalidating the whole attack - annoying yes but not as annoying as not having a well thought out car function I use in constantly and keys never leave my bag. FYI keyless has been standard in base models since at least 2021 here.

Useful, Simon 👍🏻

Didn't you notice your indicators/hazard lights did flash (there was an orange glow on the vehicle in front) when you said they didn't?

cool Video and will try on the cars I have. Where did you get the info from? Is it in the manual?

Does is disable it for just one key or both? I have a key that works with the keyless and one that does not.

The hell with Tony 😉, I want Freddy the LR phone app to start my DS . The app is so finicky and very frustrating I have a heck of a time to get it to remotely start the car.

Very interesting and helpful video ❤️❤️👌👌👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧

it annoys me a bit that the button isnt situated where your thumb would be. you have to use your index finger or twist your hand awkwardly to then pull the handle

I’d be very happy to not have keyless entry bad idea that tech, rolling codes are not the safest form of security

I thought most of those types of key fobs now go to ‘sleep’ when left for a few minutes.

Lovely job 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I use a lead lined Key box I bought on eBay then there is no signal at all

In under 1 minute time she made Tig look hot

I thought all new Landrovers utilised ultra wide band keyless entry which is supposed to prevent relay attacks.

Really tasty waffle. As it happens I have a Defender 110 D250 XDynamic HSE on demo until tomorrow afternoon. While it is a lovely thing, it doesn’t seem overly powerful but I’ll tow 3.5 tons with it tomorrow. It will surely be more than adequate but at £70k in this spec it seems an awful lot of money. Is it worth it? Well maybe. It’s certainly leagues ahead of my previous Range Rovers in almost every way imaginable but it’s also twice the price of my last new one which was a 2004 with the BMW engine and electronics. That was grossly underpowered and noisy.

they Key you have is NOT susceptible to relay theft ..it uses UWB unlike the old 2018 keys .... the latest development of JLRs keys with Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) protection should further counter these hi-tech attacks, where criminals intercept signals between the vehicle and key to unlock the car. 'Vehicles are not vulnerable to that method when equipped with this technology, which also mitigates the requirement to store keys in a faraday pouch,' the vehicle manufacturer states. If anyone has the old style key I would suggest disabling keyless entry

# of Automobile companies is?

Did I miss an episode where you've installed a Range Rover steering wheel?!

The new land rovers are the most secure cars out there you do not need to put your keys somewhere As it uses something called ultra wide band This stops really Attacks

It’s a weird keyless entry system when you still have to press a button on the handle. I just hold my handle to unlock and Renault have a system where you just approach the car for it to unlock but, you do have to be basically alongside the car. Landrover way is more effort than using the button on the remote! There should also be a setting in your touchscreen to disable keyless entry for all keys as your method pro.badly only disabled that one key you were holding. Disable again and use the other fob or activity watch and see what happens. The really easy way to disable is a faraday pouch, around £5 just put the key in it in your pocket and it won’t work at all.

No need for the faraday cage/tin or microwave. “Where are the keys, love”? “In the microwave dear”! Daft! Just get a simple visible steering lock. I can’t see an issue with that can you?

Doesn’t work on the Range Rover 2023

👍

Range rover steering wheel?!

Never understood how replacing a one second press on a remote by this is a step forward. My theory is a conspiracy to sell more cars to replace the countless stolen.

Hello I’m tony 😂😂

Brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂

hmmm...new steering wheel???

Please re visit this,JLR cars are now the number 1 stolen vehicle in Britain

Simon, go back and listen to this video around the 49 seconds in mark. Maybe my mind is in the gutter, but it sure sounded to me like you dropped the F-word. Is life getting too stressful for you buddy? Hang in there, things are bound to get better. I enjoyed the video even with your potty mouth! 😎

👍
