Lost the only working key for 2006 Range Rover Vogue L322 | |
Hi all,
About 3 weeks had lapsed, and I am still looking for the main key to start the L322.
I placed it somewhere or it may had fallen within a crack in my other car (within the center console blinds area on top of the gear - I had opened all that but could not get to the flooring part as it was complicated and took about 2 hours and half). This I beleive the key may have gone missing for good.
I have the original key which I removed the transponder and the circuit board and placed them in a new shell with a cut key and it had been working as the original key. The original key now is just an empty shell with the key blade that can open the door (but the alarm will sound off until it is locked again).
I plan to open the center console and remove the EWS box by disconnecting the battery to stop the alarm. I am also planning to buy:
1- the AK90+ key coder (about $20)
2- copies of the key from AliExpress with the circuit board and the transponder chip (ID44) (about $20 each)
However, I have seen how to do the copying with a working key, which I do not have. I called the local dealer, and the guy in the spare parts department said they stopped getting parts for that model year.
I feel depressed every day when I pass the car and see how it has dropped the suspension because it had not started in so many days. Is there anything that I can do or contact to get a working key made?
I am sure that someone at least had gone through that pain before (other than those who got their only working key stolen) and got a decent solution.
Kind regards,
Khalid
