Range Rover Sport L461 Key Programming

The 2022-onward Range Rover Sport (L461) uses the latest JLR security with UWB keys and a locked RFA module. Lock50 HW04 tools add spare keys and handle all keys lost on the L461 straight over the OBD port — no dealer login and no module removal.

What makes the L461 different
The L461 ships with ultra-wideband (UWB) keys and a security-locked RFA. Older tools simply cannot talk to it. The Lock50 HW04-C+ unlocks the RFA, adds keys and supports EVA2, so the newest Sport is fully covered.
Spare key vs all keys lost
If the customer still has a working key, adding a spare takes only minutes. For all keys lost the tool reads the immobiliser data and generates a fresh key — still far quicker than a dealer visit.

This video demonstrates programming additional smart keys for a 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport / L461 using the Lock 50 HW04 tool. Initially, a Lock 50 cloned key is made and its remote functions synchronized. The video then shows how to bypass the locked Remote Function Actuator (RFA) and Body Control Module (BCM) via OBD, allowing the addition of three new OEM keys without module changes. This method is presented as an alternative to using the client's phone app for service mode activation.

Hi, welcome to a quick demo of adding keys into a locked RFA via OBD after making a Lock 50 key using key copy connected to the RFA. The new key that's copied is the remote button are not working and we are in the process of reading the key on the Lock 50 reader and pressing remote sync once to bring the remote buttons alive to make fully working key. Remote is now working on the Lock 50 HW13 cloned key that can be copied onto 10 times and also client's original key is working. The job is done, but client asks for three new OOM keys to be added. You can either use the client's phone app to simply activate service mode and add keys via OBD into locked RFA that use L8B2M8E2R8E2S8E2BCM types found in models after 2020 to 2026 plus. However, we are showing you another way if you don't have access to the app and using the key copy from locked function to make a second key and then we can bypass the RFA lock once the vehicle can see two working keys and will allow us to add more keys into the lock system in minutes to get the job done. With emergency start supported on keys with full functions. Now we run the OBD scan and add both keys on passenger seat, 30cm apart. For the key copy, the HW03C adapter kit was used to connect to Lock 50 HW04 tool and now we can use any of the two OBD cables HW03D or HW03E to add these new keys via OBD in the locked RFA. As we have two working keys to show the vehicle to bypass the locked RFA BCM and add more keys without module changes. HW4C+ packages can even unlock the RFA when you have two working keys or via can wires connection when you have no working keys. Proceed the the PEPS system menu and can see RFA is locked and has two keys in RFA and BCM. Put two working keys in the passenger seat and run check keys and when see both keys you're ready. Now click add passive keys and place new key on Lock 50 tool and proceed to add the first of the three new keys. So we have total five. Bingo, you're ready to bypass the locked BCM and RF and make it accept new keys. Now you can either use OEM keys HW20 to HW26 with UWB or non UWB keys like HW17 or HW18. However, if you use the service mode method without making a Lock 50 key using key copy, then only OEM keys can be used that have UWB. Follow on screen guide tile is completed. This is a easy task and dealer prices exceed 2,500 pounds as they need to supply three OOM keys a new RFA and BCM. Use the passenger seat to place keys 10cm apart once the ID has been read as the shifter may not have enough space to put so many keys. When we write the BCM ID for emergency start, then that will not work if keys are placed next to each other to close and not spaced apart. We onto the final third. New OEM key now. Some error. Just retry. All keys was mixed up and already programmed. Key added by mistake, but now correct. Key added and all done. See, all keys now in RFA and BCM. And RFA has been unlocked to show the power of Lock 50 tools. Expect on the impossible.
