Jaguar Land Rover Keyless Entry Retrofit
Upgrade your Jaguar Land Rover with genuine keyless entry and push-button start. This retrofit adds the complete Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) system using original JLR modules, antennas, and wiring. Simply touch the door handle to unlock the vehicle. Press the Start Stop button to start the engine. Walk away and the vehicle locks automatically. You keep your original remote key fob functions, and you gain the convenience of fully passive access.
How the JLR Keyless Entry System Works
Install the Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM), low-frequency (LF) antennas, capacitive door handle sensors, and the Start Stop button module. The KVM communicates with the Body Control Module (BCM) and the Central Junction Box (CJB) over the vehicle CAN bus. When you touch the door handle sensor, the KVM sends a wake-up signal to the LF antennas. These antennas confirm the smart key location inside or outside the vehicle. Next, the KVM commands the BCM to unlock the door. The same process enables passive start when you press the Start Stop button with the key inside the cabin.
JLR Technical Integration
Configuration of the Car Configuration File (CCF) enables the PEPS feature. Our team codes the Keyless Vehicle Module to match your vehicle VIN and immobiliser data. We also program two new smart keys to the Remote Frequency Actuator (RFA). This coding writes the correct security seed and key count. A valid key status appears on the instrument cluster. No warning lights remain.
All wiring follows the original JLR circuit diagrams. We use the correct terminals, connectors, and loom tape. The harness connects to the CJB fuse box and the BCM plugs, while the door handle sensors route through the door looms to the KVM. Finally, the LF antennas mount in the centre console, rear quarter panels, and tailgate. You receive a plug-and-play loom with every connector labelled.

Vehicle Compatibility
This retrofit supports Jaguar and Land Rover models with the KVM and BCM architecture. Common platforms include the Jaguar XE, XF, and F-Pace, and the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover. We confirm exact compatibility from your VIN before dispatch. You receive a pre-coded module matched to your vehicle. We do not use universal aftermarket control boxes or external sensors.
Installation and Coding
You install the retrofit with basic hand tools and trim removal experience. The job takes about four to six hours. We provide full colour wiring diagrams and torque settings. Remove the door cards, tailgate trim, and centre console. Next, fit the antennas and sensors in the factory locations. Connect the KVM to the CAN bus at the CJB. We then complete the coding remotely using JLR diagnostic equipment. Finally, you finish with a short road test to confirm passive entry, passive start, and automatic locking.
