Spare and lost keys

Adding a spare to a Discovery 5 takes minutes. For all keys lost the tool reads the immobiliser and cuts a new key into the system.

Later locked builds

From around 2020 the L462 RFA is locked. The HW04-C handles the unlock and programming without removing the module.

This video demonstrates programming a spare key for a 2020 Land Rover Discovery using the Lock50 key programming tool. The process involves reading data from the original key via a reader connected to a laptop. The Lock50 HW03C RFA Adapter is then connected to the vehicle's RFA module for diagnostic tests. Finally, the key duplicator function is utilized to program a new Lock50 cloneable key, which is successfully tested for remote locking/unlocking and push-button start.
