Before you order, we will need to know which frequency you require.

If you have an original key fob which was fitted to the vehicle (working or not), check the back of the key fob to see if the white label is still intact. If it is not intact, open the key fob casing and get the number from the small silver disc, next to the battery cell. You will also find the frequency on the original CATS security card.

Do not take any notice of the colour of the circuit board as described in some Land Rover Manuals with reference to the frequency. The information is incorrect. The only way to make sure of the frequency, if none of the above methods are available, is to check the number on the alarm ECU.

Locating the alarm ECU box

Early Models

If the red flashing LED alarm light is on the right hand side of the dashboard on top of the instrument panel, the alarm ECU will be found under the steering wheel. A panel drops down to expose the fuse box, the alarm ECU is on the right hand side of the fuse box, set back slightly.

Later Models

The red flashing LED alarm light should be in the middle of the dashboard, under the radio. The alarm ECU is found in the passenger foot well. Drop down the cardboard cover, which is retained by 2 plastic clips at the front. The alarm ECU is far left hand side. It is facing the body and so it is hard to see the label. The best solution, instead of removing the ECU, is to use a mirror, or carefully peal the label off.

If your alarm has been overridden because the keys were lost, the Alarm box will probably be "armed". If this is the case you will have to find out how it has been overridden and we will need to see your alarm box to disarm it.

If you do not want to fit the key fob yourself you can send Remote key the alarm ECU box and we can programme the new key fob to it. A local Land Rover dealer can also carry out the procedure (local dealers will charge for this service).

Land Rover remote key fobs are sometimes reffered to as Land Rover plips, Land Rover zappers, remotes, remote plips or remote zappers.
All of these common phrases can be used to describe a Land Rover remote key fob.
