Does anyone know how to reprogram the remote? I've watched the guys at the dealer do it once before where they just pointed it toward the engine/battery while the hood was up and hit the buttons a few times and that was it. Any help would be great. Thanks, Raymond 97Disco   Andy Thoma (Andythoma) Member Username: Andythoma Post Number: 87 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2003 - 11:40 am:    Check here; http://www.discoweb.org/faq/remote.htm;   Raymond Brown (Sbbceo) New Member Username: Sbbceo Post Number: 6 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2003 - 03:49 pm:    Andy does it work the same for a 97Disco and does it mean turn the truck on and off or just turn the key to the on position without the truck actually starting? When it says unlock doors and lock does it mean with the remote or what? Thanks for your help? Raymond 97 Disco   Bill M.

This applies for all Rovers from 1996 on.

LR Greensboro made me get an appointment, told me it would be $40, then did it for free instead. Go figure.   Raymond Brown (Sbbceo) New Member Username: Sbbceo Post Number: 7 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:05 am:    I called teh dealer and they told me it would take an hours worth of labor to do it and it would be $94 an hour. That's nuts just to reprogram a remote.   Andy Thoma (Andythoma) Member Username: Andythoma Post Number: 90 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 11:35 am:    You need to go to the dealer from 96 on. The two button needs the "testbook" interface from the dealer. The single button, 94 and 95, can be reset with the above method. Sometimes this method doesn't work, check all fuses and connections. It is not to uncommon for the hood switch connector to corrode and cause a ground break in the system and no amount of programming will fix it. Sorry Raymond, I didn't notice you said you have a 97.   Todd Nash (Nash) New Member Username: Nash Post Number: 5 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 05:18 pm:    One hour is a touch long. I watched them do mine in NC about 2 weeks ago. It took about 3 minutes, but did require a computer.
