Understanding the Challenge
All Keys Lost with Active Alarm
For Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles manufactured after 2010, especially those from 2018 onwards, losing all keys can present a complex problem. When a vehicle is in an “all keys lost” situation with an active alarm, it enters theft mode. This mode blocks communication with the vehicle, making programming and diagnostics nearly impossible without significant intervention.

Identifying an Active Alarm
An active alarm can be identified by the red dot on the instrument cluster blinking every 2 seconds.
This indicates that the alarm is active, and the BCM (Body Control Module) and RFA (Remote Function Actuator) modules are ARMED, preventing normal communication and key programming.

Risks of Towing a Vehicle Without a Working Key
Towing your vehicle to the dealership for key replacement carries several risks:
- Transmission Damage: Without a functioning key, the vehicle cannot shift the transmission to neutral. Attempting to move the vehicle could cause damage to the transmission, leading to costly repairs.
- Electronic Steering Lock Damage: The steering lock might be engaged, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. Forcing the steering wheel or attempting to bypass the lock can damage the electronic steering mechanism, which can be expensive to repair.
- Body and Frame Damage: Improper handling while locked in theft mode can damage the vehicle’s body and frame, leading to further costly repairs. Towing companies often do not take responsibility for such damage.
- Dealer Delays: Dealers may take up to three months to receive the necessary emergency keys and replacement modules, adding to your inconvenience and costs.
To avoid these complications, consider our on-site key replacement service as a more efficient and less risky solution.
