Range Rover Lockout Emergencies
Every Range Rover that has been made since 1997 is equipped with a transponder chip for extra security. The chip sends a signal to the vehicle’s computer to inform it that you’ve inserted the correct key and the ignition can start. Radio keys and transponders offer increased security, but they are expensive to replace through a dealership. For one, the dealer will have to tow your vehicle to their location. The latest key models need up to five days to be reprogrammed from when your car arrives at the dealership.
The right locksmith will work on your car make and model and get the job done not only a lot sooner, but probably at a much better price. But first, some background information about Range Rover keys.

Was your Range Rover made after 1995?
Was your Range Rover model made after 1995? In that case, it is quite likely that the key and car are equipped with a safety system to prevent car theft. If you’ve lost a Range Rover car key remote or a Range Rover key fob, the new key won’t work unless it has been specifically programmed to your car. Even a standard physical key might require some programming. A car locksmith will know whether it needs programming or not.
We’ll discuss the two most common questions about lost Range Rover keys in this section.
Should I call the dealership?
You can, but it will take longer and cost more than finding a skilled automotive locksmith to replace your lost key. Our locksmiths will not demand your vehicle be towed to our company’s location, unlike the dealership.
What else can a locksmith help with?
Modern Range Rovers have onboard computers that manage vehicle functions, safety features, the ignition, and more. It’s often the case that luxury vehicles are equipped with a computer screen on the dashboard, which controls the locks, radio, service lights, and more. Problems with the vehicle’s internal computer system often result in issues with the locks, radio, ignition, and alarm system. A high end, qualified locksmith will help service these features. There’s no need to contact the Land Rover dealership.
What are some common computer issues locksmiths can fix?
Our facility resolves issues with the dashboard computer screen as well as the car’s internal computer and operates automotive computer diagnostics. We employ experienced professionals, who are able to reprogram the car’s computer system and fix issues with computer screens that have stopped responding to touch or won’t light up, turn on, or display accurate data.
Automotive computer diagnostics aren’t limited to repair of internal computers. This service also includes re-flashing the engine control unit or immobilizer control box, repairing the computer screen, and reprogramming the car’s internal computer.
Types of Locksmith Services
Some locksmith services employ highly trained technicians, who can assist you 24/7 at any location. They can help with some or all of the following issues regardless of your Range Rover’s make or model:
- Key Duplication

Please keep in mind that replacing a Range Rover key isn’t as simple as going to the hardware store. As mentioned, many new cars today use fob keys, transponder chip keys, and remote keys for added security and convenience. Issues with these keys can be time-consuming, costly, and hard to fix although the fact that this technology makes life easier is indisputable.
Our technicians can repair, reprogram, and replace your fob, transponder, and/or remote keys onsite at a fraction of the price the dealership will charge and without any needless waiting.
