Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock Retrofit for Jaguar Land Rover
LR-Retrofit supplies and fits complete Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock upgrades for Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. You gain automatic vehicle locking as you walk away and effortless unlocking as you approach with the smart key. The system removes the need to touch the key fob or door handle for everyday use.
Product Overview
Our Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock retrofit brings genuine JLR proximity convenience to your existing keyless entry system. We use original equipment antennas, body control module updates, and factory wiring. The installation delivers the same hands-free operation as a vehicle built with the full passive entry package.
You operate the system automatically through the existing smart key. The vehicle detects key distance and direction without any input from you. No aftermarket sensors or visible modifications appear anywhere in the cabin or exterior.
What the Retrofit Includes
- Genuine JLR proximity antennas for accurate key location detection
- Body control module configuration update
- Factory specification wiring harnesses and connectors
- Smart key software update for approach and walk-away functions
- Vehicle settings activation for auto-lock and proximity unlock
- Full system calibration and functional testing
How the Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock System Works
The system uses a network of low-frequency antennas positioned around the vehicle exterior. These antennas continuously measure the smart key signal strength and location. When you walk away carrying the key, the body control module detects the increasing distance and automatically locks the doors once you pass the set range. When you return and approach the vehicle, the module identifies the key and unlocks the doors as you reach the door area.
You adjust the auto-lock timing, welcome lighting, and proximity sensitivity through the existing vehicle settings menu. The system operates silently and securely, maintaining full anti-theft protection and encrypted communication at all times.

Installation and Programming
LR-Retrofit technicians complete the installation at our workshop. We fit the proximity antennas in the factory positions, route the wiring harnesses through the original body conduits, and update the body control module using JLR diagnostic equipment. After installation, we configure the vehicle settings, calibrate the key detection range, and run full locking and unlocking cycle tests to verify correct operation.
