Add genuine Land Rover keyless entry to your vehicle. LR-Retrofit fits the passive entry door handles, interior antennas and programmes the keyless vehicle module so you unlock and start without touching the key.
What is Keyless Entry?
Keyless entry lets you unlock and start your Land Rover while the key remains in your pocket or bag. The vehicle detects your key via interior and exterior antennas. You touch the door handle to unlock, and you press the start button to drive away. The system also locks the doors when you walk away or touch the handle sensor. This hands-free convenience makes daily use easier, especially when your hands carry shopping or equipment.
Why Retrofitting Keyless Entry with LR-Retrofit Makes Sense
- Genuine Land Rover parts: We supply the correct passive entry handles, antennas and wiring terminals for your specific VIN.
- Factory-level programming: Our technicians update the keyless vehicle module and Car Configuration File using JLR diagnostic equipment.
- Full passive start: The system integrates with the push-button start, so you never need to insert a key.
- Original remote functions retained: Your existing key fob buttons continue to operate exactly as before.
- Validated installation: We test locking, unlocking, passive start and antenna detection before we return your vehicle.
Compatible Land Rover Models
We retrofit keyless entry to Land Rover models that originally offered the feature. We confirm exact compatibility from your VIN before you book.
