Once the RFA is unlocked, spare and lost keys are added in the usual quick workflow — no bench work, no dealer.

Hey guys, Sean with lock50.co.uk. Today we are working on a 2023 Defender. I'm gonna start and show you the RFA location. Just uh, go ahead and get in the back seat. Pick up carpets if or any. And then you'll find a little pull lever right there. So you just pull this and then this cover comes out pretty easy. And here's our lovely RFA. Thank you.
