Paid remote support booking for JLR diagnostics, programming, coding and key jobs – over TeamViewer with a Lock50 technician, using IDS / SDD / Pathfinder / TOPIx Cloud or the Lock50 HW04 OBD tools. Full support guide: lock50.co.uk/support.
This is a booked, paid service – not free real-time chat. Use it when a car will not start, programming will not complete, an all-keys-lost job is stuck, or you need hands-on help fast on a live vehicle.
How Lock50 support works
- All technical support runs through the order comms system: Log in » Orders » open the order » "Ask a Question about this Order". This is queue based, not real-time.
-
WhatsApp and email are for SALES only – they are not monitored for technical support and will not get a technical reply.
- Typical queue reply time: 24 to 48 working hours.
Paid remote support – how it works
-
£100 starting fee per TeamViewer session – we connect to your PC, check the car and assess exactly what needs doing.
- We then quote the cost to complete that specific vehicle before any further work.
- Complex jobs (no ignition, all keys lost, module flashing / cloning, DTC and network faults) average around £500 per car.
Before your remote session – please read
We work in UK time and prefer to run jobs during UK working hours, 10 AM to 6 PM UK time. If you are not in the UK, please check your own timezone against UK time before you book so we are both online at the same moment.
The session can only go ahead when all three of these are ready:
- The vehicle is connected to the tool and the tool is connected to your PC.
- A power supply / battery support is on the car so voltage stays stable through programming.
- You have a good, stable internet connection on the PC.
Only when all three are ready can the remote session take place. Most problems (about 95%) are the computer or the internet, not the tool – we recommend a Panasonic Toughbook.
TeamViewer setup (Windows only)
- We support Windows PCs only. Download the full version of TeamViewer for Windows (the full application – not QuickSupport) and install it.
- In TeamViewer go to Extras » Options » Security and set your unattended / personal password to Lock50.co.uk – without this password set we cannot connect.
- Send us your TeamViewer ID and the password in text (a text message / your order notes, not a voice call) when you book.
- Full step-by-step with screenshots: lock50.co.uk/support.
Message format – include all of this or you will get no reply
- Your tool device serial number.
- Your VIN and the vehicle year / model.
- A clear description of the issue and any error / DTC codes.
Free vs paid
Queue replies through your order comms are answered when a technician is free (normally within 24 to 48 working hours) and are free. The only free hands-on help is live on-the-job training for the first 5 jobs for new tool buyers. Live real-time help, and any help outside working hours, is paid and booked here.
Before booking it is worth searching YouTube for Lock50 videos and reading the user guide – many issues are solved there.
