What’s this update you speak Mike? Is it applicable to earlier keyless cars like my 2013 HSE Lux?


Applicable to all D4/RRS/Evoque/DS/2013 FL2 etc

Turns the KVM from a programmable unit to a read only unit, preventing new keys from being programmed to the module

Good for security, bad for owners...


So, hang on a moment, see if I got this right.

If the KVM is updated to ‘read only’ after coding, then you can “never” add new keys unless you also replace the kvm?

That seems a knee-jerk, albeit something needed doing

Correct Thumbs Up

And, if you buy a 2nd hand car with only 1 key, and you try and program a 2nd key, you risk being in the same position as the OP...

Just an update and confirmation of the highest level of expertise available on the Forum.
Just for once main dealer incompetence paid off in that the module was not updated. My friend will at last follow me to Wimbledon Land Rover who were brilliant. However, to be fair when his engine blew up at 900 miles in Garda part of the recompense was a Service Plan, now expired.
Collected the car all done and valeted, 2 new keys and no rattly glass inside the door.
Less £150 from insurers, total cost £250.
Thanks all for your comments. Mikey spot on yet again.
