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.
I did see a Technical Service Bulletin on this - you may need to check you car has had this issue corrected - see below details - they added an extra receiver on the left side of the car !!! www.dropbox.com/s/8fzbaxc4x8g8ut8/JLRTB02076NAS1%20-%20Intermittent%20Passive%20Entry%20Operation%20_%20TOPIx.PDF?dl=0
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
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.
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..
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.
is there a way to do open the car without key with an wristband sitting around your wrist for example u go on vacation and want to leave your keys inside the car but with a wristband u can go swimming etc and still comeback and open your car?
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?
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 :)
I believe that just double-locks cars so that even if the glass was broken the doors could not be opened from the inside. I’ve already checked the on-line manual for the demo 110 that I collected at 4pm today and double-locking works on it just the same as it does for most other cars these days.
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 .
I dont think I will disable this feature normally as the car is not parked on the street - but if I am camping etc I will disable this feature or leaving it somewhere like a hotel overnight.
@L663 I will see if it works on my velar ...I should imagine it will . Ps land rover are selling velar carbon fibre spoilers cheap....if you want to get any for your site
It should work on the velar I found this offer for the spoilers - is this in line with pricing you expect ( thanks for the heads up ) store.landrover.com/vplyb0354-kit-rear-spoiler.html
Great video thank you I have a 2024 defender this method does not disable my keyless entry, but have had tail gate release enabled. Would this make a difference ? Seen you enabled tailgate release but can you disable keyless entry still ?
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 👍
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.
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.
Good question.- I will take the 2nd key to work tomorrow - my guess is it disable the car rather than the key -- so the key is still whispering but the car is not listening !
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.
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
Perverse incentives. Why preemptively prevent theft when it could mean selling two cars to someone that would have only bought one. I have had my Defender stolen twice: the first time they recovered it, and the second time they didn't. I replaced it this week, and I am going to do everything possible to protect it, short of an IED. The first time it took them ~3 minutes to get it started, and the second time it was less than 30 seconds. They are getting better, and in neither case was a relay attack used. In both cases the event was captured on my neighbour's cameras.
I was sat here waiting for someone to spot that - 10 extra points for you Steven - video coming soon ! Its from the new Range Rover !! takes the original Defender airbag and all the switches work !
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.
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.
Yes indeed - I tried this on the 90 and it had been parked up and it did not work - i did the ignition cycle and it worked.. so added the step as a safeguard.
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.
Yes I tried this on the 90 and it had been parked up a while and it did not work - after an ignition cycle it did - so I added the step in the video just as a safe measure.
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?
Interesting one - have you tried this on all the doors ? both sides ? as there are a series of antennas around the car - if it works on one side it may be the antenna..
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.
I am not sure if this is true but will look into it. There is a good explanation of the technology here www.edn.com/uwb-enhances-security-of-passive-keyless-entry/
I just checked and the antenna is the same on the Defender as the cars from 2013 ...surely the keyless entry antenna must change ? maybe not ? PN is LR099137
@@L663 I'm beginning to wonder if Landrover have backtracked on what was promised in 2020. I did have a link to a landrover news release which said all new vehicles would have UWB keyless entry from 2020, this now seems to have been taken down. This is from a Which report in 2020, which you may have already seen "Land Rover and Jaguar are using ultra-wide-band (UWB) across all new keyless models registered in 2021. UWB is a technology that can very accurately determine the distance between the key and the car, so the car can't be tricked by the relay attack."
@@L663 Hi Simon, I was quite concerned about this as having the Ultra Wideband keyless entry was one of the main reasons I have just upgraded my Evoque. I have just spoken to Landrover customer services and he has replied with "All current Land Rover models employ 'Ultra Wideband' (UWB) technology within the vehicle's Smart Keys." That would seem to confirm it.
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
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.
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.

UWB allows precise location finding using two-way ranging, a methodology that requires precise timing between senders and receivers.

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.
Love mine, same spec and whilst it isn’t quick off the line, once you get it moving it’s not too bad! And I had a Macan Turbo before so used to bonkers speeds but this is so much more useable!
@@cartherapy718 I spent 20 years driving a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2 turbo diesel which had 200hp and 400Nm torque through a four speed auto. Time and technology has transformed the performance and experience of driving such vehicles but this Defender does appear to be overcomplicated in every way. I also note that air suspension is actually an option, even on this high end trim. This demo model has 22” wheels and very low profile tyres, something I would not contemplate specifying for practical and running cost reasons.
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?
@@Oxers-KO it is. Will be extremely noisy to remove and saw through. Your not gonna get my steering lock off within ten minutes. And without making a great deal of noise.
@@CrueLoaf you’re right, as long as it’s a pro lock or similar, and you lock the two bars either side of the steering wheel spoke, you would virtually have to destroy the steering wheel to get it off. If you just clamp it on the wheel rim, they just hacksaw trough that, bend it a bit and slide the lock off.
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?
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
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! 😎
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.
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.
My Kia Sorento and Nissan Qashqai has a near identical button on the latch feature for both kkeyless locking and unlocking. My Honda CR-V on the other hand has a button but has a sensor behind the handles of both front doors that detect hands and unlock without button pressing. I did have a car that had a virtual button pad where my thumb would be detected and do a button-like job without actually pressing.
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.

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.
Love mine, same spec and whilst it isn’t quick off the line, once you get it moving it’s not too bad! And I had a Macan Turbo before so used to bonkers speeds but this is so much more useable!

I spent 20 years driving a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2 turbo diesel which had 200hp and 400Nm torque through a four speed auto. Time and technology has transformed the performance and experience of driving such vehicles but this Defender does appear to be overcomplicated in every way. I also note that air suspension is actually an option, even on this high end trim. This demo model has 22” wheels and very low profile tyres, something I would not contemplate specifying for practical and running cost reasons.
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?
One steering wheel lock is unlikely to deter a thief, unless it is the disc type.
@@Oxers-KO it is. Will be extremely noisy to remove and saw through. Your not gonna get my steering lock off within ten minutes. And without making a great deal of noise.
@@CrueLoaf you’re right, as long as it’s a pro lock or similar, and you lock the two bars either side of the steering wheel spoke, you would virtually have to destroy the steering wheel to get it off. If you just clamp it on the wheel rim, they just hacksaw trough that, bend it a bit and slide the lock off.
hmmm...new steering wheel???
Well spotted - video coming soon - its from the new Range Rover.
# of Automobile companies is?
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?
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
Not sure if its the same but a 2022 velar just up the road from me was stolen about 6 weeks ago due to relay.
Interesting and good to know.... I have not heard of many Defenders being stolen.
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! 😎
I have listened but cant hear any such words...
What the hell are you on about mate. So what if he used the F word?? Its called freedom of speech you wanker!😂😂😂
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.
Must agree I have never found it a problem on The Stig !
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.
My Kia Sorento and Nissan Qashqai has a near identical button on the latch feature for both kkeyless locking and unlocking. My Honda CR-V on the other hand has a button but has a sensor behind the handles of both front doors that detect hands and unlock without button pressing. I did have a car that had a virtual button pad where my thumb would be detected and do a button-like job without actually pressing.
Hello I’m Tony!
Hi Tony
Brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂
Doesn’t work on the Range Rover 2023
Strange ? i thought this would work. Are you worried about theft ? I have a new idea I am looking at - works on my Defender.
