Activity Key GEN2

Leave the Key Fob Behind – Activity Key GEN2 Gives You Total Freedom

The Activity Key GEN2 is a slim, waterproof wristband that replaces your traditional key fob. You wear it while running, cycling, surfing or swimming and simply hold the band near the tailgate badge to unlock the vehicle. Once inside, you place the wristband against the startup reader panel and push the engine start button — the vehicle recognises the coded band just like your regular smart key.

Unlike the first‑generation Activity Key, the GEN2 features a small integrated display that shows time, vehicle lock status and battery level. It is fully submersible and withstands extreme temperatures, so you never need to hide a key on the vehicle or carry a bulky fob in your sports gear.

Our retrofit service installs this factory‑option technology on vehicles that left the production line without it. We use genuine JLR parts and follow the exact workshop procedures that Land Rover centres apply, delivering a final result indistinguishable from a car that came with Activity Key pre‑installed.

Precision Installation and Programming – How Our Technicians Activate the System

The retrofit begins with a thorough vehicle health check and VIN‑based verification. We confirm that your Land Rover or Range Rover carries the required passive keyless entry and the correct Body Control Module (BCM) for Activity Key support. For most vehicles this is already present; if not, our team selects the appropriate JLR part and integrates it seamlessly.

Next we mount the dedicated Activity Key GEN2 NFC antenna behind the rear bumper cover. The antenna connects to the Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM) via a pre‑pinned vehicle harness that follows the existing loom routing. Every fixing point uses the factory‑designated brackets, so the installation remains invisible and fully protected from the elements.

With the hardware in place, our diagnostician connects Land Rover’s Pathfinder or Topix‑based tool and updates the Vehicle Configuration File. This step activates the Activity Key function within the KVM, adds the soft‑keys on the touchscreen (where applicable) and enables the wristband’s full two‑way NFC communication. We then programme the supplied GEN2 wristband to the vehicle as a third key, assigning it the same security encryption as your main fobs.

After a comprehensive function test, the system works exactly as Land Rover intended: the band unlocks the car with a touch on the tailgate, the engine starts once the band communicates with the interior reader, and the locking button on the door handle instantly secures the vehicle again. The wristband’s display confirms each action, and you can check the battery level at a glance.

Vehicles That Support the Activity Key GEN2 Upgrade

We can retrofit the Activity Key GEN2 to a wide range of Land Rover and Range Rover models equipped with keyless entry and a compatible electrical architecture. After you provide your registration or VIN, our team confirms the exact hardware requirements before any work takes place.

Even if your vehicle originally came without passive entry, our team can often create the necessary foundation by adding the KVM and door handle antennas — contact us for a personalised compatibility report.
