<h1>2019 Land Rover Defender Keyless Entry Remote Fob (Smart Key)</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Information:</b> The 2019 Land Rover Defender does not allow onboard programming of smart key remote fobs. Programming must be completed using dedicated diagnostic tools compatible with the vehicle’s electronic system.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Smart Key Programming Instructions:</b></font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Vehicle Preparation Confirm the vehicle is in the “Park” position with the engine off. Open the driver’s door and leave it open throughout the process. Make sure all other doors are closed. Have all smart keys (old and new) ready before beginning.</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Connect Diagnostic Equipment Attach specialized programming equipment to the vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port (located below the dashboard on the driver's side). Initiate the vehicle communication sequence using the correct software for Land Rover models.</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Access Security Mode Follow the system prompts to access secure functions. This may involve entering a PIN code or allowing the system to verify security credentials. Once authorized, proceed to the key programming section.</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Register the Smart Key Place the new key fob in the designated programming position inside the vehicle (typically near the start/stop button or center console). Use the interface to add the new key. Wait for confirmation that the new smart key has been successfully paired with the vehicle.</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Program Additional Keys (Optional) If you have more than one key to program, repeat the registration process while still in programming mode. Ensure all keys are present, as unprogrammed keys may become inactive if skipped during this session.</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Verify Key Functionality Test all programmed keys by performing the following functions: Locking and unlocking doors Activating the push-button start system Checking trunk or tailgate access (if applicable) Ensuring proximity entry, if equipped, is working</font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Finalize the Process Exit the programming mode on the software. Disconnect the diagnostic equipment from the vehicle. Confirm that all keys function as intended before completing the session.</font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Additional Tips:</b></font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Always use key fobs that are compatible with the 2019 Defender and not previously programmed to another vehicle. Replace the fob battery before programming to avoid signal issues. Perform the process in a location free from electronic interference.</font></li> </ul>
