How to Fix the Key Fob Remote - LR2, FREELANDER2, Discovery3, LR3, Range Rover

Amazing. Every time I want to know how to do something on FL1, FL2 and even an electric gate you pop up with a video. Many thanks

Excellent video ive ordered some batteries the problem i have is the fob works inside the car but not from outside so am hoping itsxthe battery.Thanks

Who the f engineered these cars literally insane

Very good video. I found the hardest part of the job was getting the old battery out of the plastic container. I ended up putting it back without it

Are all these Landrover keys the same, they don't look any different

Thank you very much for this video--very detailed, thorough and well paced so I could easily appreciate nuances of each step and successfully replace battery (and save a kin's ransom charged by the car dealers for a new fob)

Wonderfullu done, seen some youtbe vids where people are butxherng this job. Nice to see it done carefully and thoughtfully. Thanks.

Thank you, the job succeeded. take care out there.

Are they glued from the new? I dont feel like jabbing a screwdriver into my hand.. Mine not budging.

Very helpful, thank you. So nice to see a tutorial from a real person, who probably drank a cup of coffee before doing it!! :)

Do you have to solder key fob?

Great video ! Thank you for this video. The new casing I've ordered didn't need any glue... It just clipped back together.

If I don't have a soldering gun is it still possible to change the battery myself?

Hello Sir,I’m having that same problem as we speak. I called around but I’m getting the run around. Dealership wanna charge me $500 per key. That’s something I Do not have(money don’t grow on trees). I do know a little bit about soudering but nothing major as you showed. I need to acquire someone that can do this and make no mistakes. It’s not just one key but it’s both. Do you have any suggestions? I’m located in the states(Philly). I sure could really use your expertise.

thanks for the info...fm Qatar,,,,,,,,,,,

Great video, thanks - BUT - you have to put the key into the dashboard to resynchronise it. Then it works great.

I purchased a key repair kit from Amazon, battery, case, and switches(that I didn't bother changing) , for about 17 euros. The new case snap fits together perfectly, so no glueing required and it looks really brand new!!!

Thank you for making this video very heparin and saved me a lot of money. To bad the electric kit I bought had the crappiest sucker because I had a hell of a time getting that old solder off. I really thought I was going to destroy the microchips.

Buy a new case while you are at it as they often break when coming apart - battery and case £10 on ebay

Wow! Fantastic video! So pleased with myself after watching this last year I bought a battery and a cheap soldering iron kit from Amazon and did this all by myself! About to do it again. Saved me £400! 🙂

Doesnt the key need re programming ?

Thank you for making this video, after I changed the battery, all of the buttons are not working, but when I insert the key into the slot, I can start the car without any problem, I thought the battery needs to be recharged, but after I ran it for 70 miles, those buttons are still not working, any ideas what went wrong? Thanks

If the battery is dead, will the car start at all?

Thank you so much for this video. 
I just replaced the battery on my spare Freelander 2 key fob and now I've got a working second key again. 
Best of all I spent less than £10 for the battery and new housing (didn't need to use glue with the aftermarket housing it clicked into place) and the key looks brand new!

Brilliant thanks. Just done my first fob and works a treat. Invested in a new soldering iron with fine tips but still over £200 in pocket. Before I do the second will buy a magnifying glass on a stand. If like me your close up vision isnt as good as it was then you might find as I did the small -ve pin quite tricky to get out without one.

Thank you for making this video, key now fixed for the price of a battery and cheap soldering iron! Well chuffed.

Hello, Can you do this for sure on a LR2 2009? I tried to open it but it sealed shut really good. Did not open with the ease like in the video?

I want to replace the case

Before actually removing the battery and replacing with a new one (which is VERY difficult IMHO, small fragile battery leads....) try re-soldering the battery connections. I removed my battery in one FOB, then couldn't get the replacement battery seated correctly because the leads kept getting crushed due to misalignment. This was because the plastic clips that hold the battery in place also keep you from pushing the replacement straight down into the tiny holes that were impossible for me to totally clean out. The small lead on my new battery broke off after trying to straighten it 4 times (got brittle). So I took the old battery (which was giving me 3.3 volts, same as the new battery) and put it back in and loaded up the connections with solder! (In total frustration!!) Voila! It actually worked!! I then took my second FOB, and re-soldered the battery connections, and it's now working as good as new! Apparently, the connections get damaged over time, and simply re-soldering may fix it. In any case, it is a simple solution to try before you tackle the battery removing/replacing, which I found impossible!

Mine locks fine most times. But no gurantee it will unlock. Not after a few tries. However, I also notice when I lock it, not only does it not lock, but instead all the windows roll down.

That’s not a simple process

Just done mine and it only took a few minutes. £12 soldering iron kit and £5 battery off Ebay. You my friend are a star.

Ключ не надо снова приписывать, после замены батареи?

Quería ver cómo se abría la llave , para cambiar las carcasas , creo que es mejor comprar otra y programarla , excelente video , le felicito .

Great info video! I recently bought a used 2008 Land Rover LR2 and your video to replace battery has help me to save time and money! I think anybody can do it with patience and careful! Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Will this fix a fob that has trouble ejecting? (Its 8 years old and original battery.)

fob New battery still not working it is a different battery holder

Just a quick note to express my thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just replaced the battery in my wife's fob after having replaced it two years ago and all is well. Cheers!

Well that was such a great tutorial video, Not rushed.Well explained. I'm totally inspired to have a go myself now.Thanks for sharing Sir.

Thanks. This is the best video that I could find for the job. I agree with John M - that in many ways it's getting the case split that's the hardest part. One side eventually gave way with forcing. Perhaps I should have tried the warming technique but I cut through the other side using a dremmel on the lowest speed setting to reduce melting. This worked well although it makes a slight gap. However. the glue fills this and the appearance is ok. A cable tie is v useful to clamp the halves while the glue sets. Elsewhere on the web it suggests the cable tie as a permanent solution but I can't see how it would then fit in the dash.

Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I got Land Rover to replace my key just over 2 years ago (£200+VAT and 90 minute wait). Key started to go wrong again when the 2 year warranty expired. They said they'd 'sort something' which turned out to be nothing. I was advised to take the car on a long journey to fully charge the battery - 4 hour round trip a and key was still temperamental.
I've never used a soldering iron before, but your step by step video was brilliant and you've saved me a fortune.
I found the battery cheaper on Amazon at the time too.

My fob only locks or unlocks if I hold both the lock button and the unlock buttons. Why is this happening??

nice!!!!!

Thank you for your informative video
I just replaced the battery in my second fob. I did get ripped off for £250 from LR dealer for replacement 3 years ago
This has cost me £3.50 giving a saving of £246.50. Please note make sure the replacement battery is rechargeable type as it charges itself in the car dash slot
Thanks again

Great video. Key fob now fixed and working perfectly for the cost of a new battery VL2330 £5.99 from Amazon. Thank you

drks

thanks for this it worked fantastic, saved over £300.

Thank you so much for doing this video. I just replaced the battery in one of our remotes and it works again good as new. Like others said, hardest part is getting it apart.
