hey guys if you have a d2 Land Rover
Discovery as I do chances are that your
fob will stop working and that could be
because the receiver in the roof has
capped it assuming that your battery is
good in your fob you know and you're
seeing the red flashing light so what
can happen is what happened to me this
week in that your fob won't turn off
your alarm and you can't deactivate your
immobilizer so you sort of get locked
out on a number of levels if you've got
your battery if you disable your battery
to stop your alarm
you've got to you're going to hear your
alarm when you reconnect the battery and
if you take your fuses out for the horns
then you can't turn the immobilizer off
there's only one solution and that is to
enter your EK e ka e code which will be
with your manual hopefully someone's
written it down on a card luckily for me
the previous owners had done so and it's
a four digit code so could be one two
three four now if you jump online and
you google the process you're going to
get different approaches so this is the
right approach you've got to use the key
in the car door in the car lock Chaves
Chaves lock and you turn it to unlock
and you hold up five minutes until you
hear one single beep now that says it's
okay to enter the code you're ready and
then you have to
and in your code you enter the you go to
the left the first time and if your
number is 4/4 obviously you turn the key
to the left 4 times and you return to
sender each time once you've entered
your 4 then you go back to the right so
if it's 5 you go 1 2 3 4 5 always
returning to the center and repeat for
the third number of people the fourth
number then you turn the key to the
right unlock position to hear to audible
beeps and that tells you that you've
been successful now
some videos on the on YouTube say to
wait 5 minutes but you should see your
dash light stop flashing and you can
immediately enter the car throw the key
in the ignition and started straight
away it took me about two days to get on
top of this because I thought that I
tried to get an order I like involved
and they don't want to come out for
various reasons area flat out a booked
out for the next week and all that sort
of stuff but luckily I was referred to a
Landrover specialist who made mention of
the ek ek a code and I knew I had it I
tried to enter it the first time and I
had the wrong code so you just have to
be patient and persist and use the right
code obviously and when you get those
two audible beeps you're good to go
and you'll be operational now once once
you're in don't really lock the car
until you get it fixed one way you can
lock the car is to when you're in it
just use your your lockdown your manual
lockdown which which no will will will
lock the driver's door as well
and then you can you're not a mogul I
say then you can get out and relock the
driver's door with your key so there's
your manual override there's always a
manual override with these cars which is
good you know
sadly they tried to get a little bit too
complicated and over sophisticated we've
with with Land Rovers in 2002 it's one
of the raht started and they're now 14
15 years old we're sort of dealing with
thing you know parts going wrong and so
forth but we the benefit of users like
myself you know posting information
online and helping each other you can
get a get around them you know pretty
quickly if I wouldn't want to be the
owner of a current discovery with all
their sophistication all the electronics
and you know all the tiny little motors
for everything when they are 20 years
old because that's going to be a real
challenge for runners but so that's why
we stick with these models and this is
my second one planning to own a third
one and I've got a lot of plans for the
products that will make camping a lot of
fun in them so I hope this helps and
yeah wherever you are around the world
if you get disabled use this video and I
hope it helps you guys I hope you have
your ek ek a codes I believe that if you
call Land Rover they can give you give
you the e ka code for the car or you can
get it with a scanner if somebody can
throw a scanner on the car and then you
can get it but if your battery is
connected disconnected you won't be oh
no I don't know it gets a bit confusing
on that level and just be so just before
I finish this video I did call Land
Rover Brisbane because I'm in Australia
and sadly like a lot of Land Rover
dealers they was so far away from having
a solution really site just miles and
miles away that's really disappointing
as an owner of the Land Rover you know
the suggestion from the young young guy
there was that I try another key you
know and that means seriously you're
just barking up the completely the wrong
tree and they're fussing and farting
about my Reggio number and my you know
VIN number and all I sort of nonsense
that's it's a real pity that dealers who
have exclusive agencies for cars don't
have basic knowledge on their their
models that have been out for 20 years I
mean who would think it's just
mind-blowing
when when the average person can come up
with a solution in two days
then why don't why not dealers have you
know helpdesk so that they give
solutions to to owners I mean surely
there would be really good marketing but
any rate that's the world that we live
in these days it's really hard to find
answers from the people that sell their
products all right guys see you later
Cheers
