Hi there, I bougth a new remote (FOB) for the disco from http://www.roverconnection.com and the instruction only says that I have to see a dealer. ONLY he can program the new remote! What does he do? Is there something I can't do? Can I program the remote? The next dealer is about 90 miles away... Like always, any input is appreciated. Thanks Frank | ||

If you have a D2 the dealer will have to program the remote with the testbook. When I bought a new remote I was in the same boat. Expect the programming to cost $40 ~ 1/2 hour. If you have a D1 I believe you can program the remote yourself | ||

And just how do you go about programming a remote for a D1? I need to get a new remote but I have been holding off because of this reason. The nearest dealer to me too, is 1 1/2 hour away. | ||

What are the programming instuctions listed under? | ||
| Frank Koehler (Frankegd) New Member Username: Frankegd Post Number: 7 Registered: 02-2003 |
Here they are: http://www.discoweb.org/faq/remote.htm Programming for 94, 95 models: 1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked, hood switch depressed. 2. Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds. 3. Switch ignition ON. 4. Switch ignition OFF. 5. Lock doors. 6. Unlock doors. 7. Release hood switch. 8. Switch ignition ON. 9. Switch ignition OFF. If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and LED will light. It is now possible to program two handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU. This must be carried out within two minutes. 10. Press and hold down button on first handset until dash LED flashes. 11. Repeat instruction 10. for second handset. 12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have been programmed correctly. | ||

Don't forget to... "Put your left foot in" You can sing along while you re-program your remote.. You know the words... | ||

Eh, not too assinine. Would you want the process for programming an off-the-shelf remote that could unlock your Land Rover to be easy? Think about it. | ||

I had bought a new remote for my 95 disco. I took it to the dealer, and they did it free of charge. Generally they're really good about that little stuff. If you haven't had any luck thus far, go talk to the big burly british bastards at the dealership :-) Its not all that bad. | ||

Perhaps a dumb question, but does this work in reverse? ie, I have replaced alarm control and ecu, but still have the original entry remote. Just curious, too lazy to try it out, and worried something may miss and the alarm will be stuck on or something. | ||

96 and up with a two button remote will have to be programed by a dealer or a shop with AUTO LOGIC |
