???? About this video

Published Nov 20, 2024 on the official Lock50 YouTube channel

This video demonstrates programming a replacement key for a 2023 Range Rover Discovery Sport (L550) using the Lock50 JLR Key Tool (version 1.3.19.0) and an HW04-C programmer via OBD. The process involves checking existing keys, running diagnostic utilities to read vehicle information and control modules, accessing PEPS Utilities to verify two pre-programmed keys, then adding an additional OEM PEPS/UWB key. The new key is placed on the HW04-C key reader for identification and on the passenger seat for emergency start function programming, successfully adding a third key.
