Programming a key
- Thread starter markj11
- Start date
They use a special computer to program the key, called Testbook. It is very typical to charge an hour of labor to do this.

Hey mark great avatar!
That sucks about the $75 bucks, just because it's "typical" doesn't make it right.

sounds about right
I bought my Disco II used and it only came with one key. The second key, cut and programmed cost me about $130 IIRC.

Mark Jones!
Mark Jones,
Hi, sorry to drag this thread back to the top, but I was glad to see you were from MS also. Please tell me where you had your key programmed. I can't find anybody around here to do it. Mobile is the closest for me, but they keep giving me the run around about not having the original barcode for the key.
Please help!
or if you want, just send me an email at anthonyflowers12@yahoo.com
THANKS!

Not so...
I was with a friend of mine at the stealership in New Orleans before I ever bought my Rover and he had both his keys reset. They had to use Testbook to do it, but they did it in about 20 mins.
My wife thought she lost one of the keys, so I ordered one from the stealership $$$$$$ not knowing I had to have it programmed or anything and it was delivered to my house. Since then, she found the other key, and I lost the little sticker that had the barcode on the new key. Now, the other of our original keys went in the drink and is useless, so I need to get the semi-new remote to work.
The remote can NOT
be useless just because I lost a little sticker... can it??
