I just purchased a 2005 LR3 with a key that was cut manually somewhere? The owner said the programmable keys were lost and all he had was a manual key and the truck could not be locked because of it. Land Rover told me this was impossible, but I know it was possible because I owned the truck and had the key. I checked around and know one was able to cut another key for me. Land Rover told me all the keys have the same configuration they are just programmed differently? The key I had was different than my other LR3 (I own 2). When I say different I mean the cut arrangements was different (which tells me Land Rover was incorrect). I was able to buy a blank LR3 key on Ebay but turns out no one would cut them?
Now I'm forced to purchase a $600 programmable key from Land Rover (see my other key issue posted). What a mess!
My question is: Does anyone have a solution to this key nightmare on the 2005 LR3. Is there such a thing as a simple manual key that does not require programming? Is there someone that provides a programmable key for these vehicles under $500?
KEY NIGHTMARE!!!!
