About Discovery Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Land Rover Discovery — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, and trim levels (keyed vs. push-to-start) can differ within the same year, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery Sport | 2015–2021 | Proximity smart key | Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P) | HU101 insert |
| Discovery (Disco5, L462) | 2017–2021 | Proximity smart key | Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P) | HU101 insert |
Security System & Immobilizer
Land Rover keys progressed from early transponders to ID46 remotes and current proximity fobs; late models use dealer-grade security that we assess honestly by VIN.
On the Discovery specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P). A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Land Rover Discovery Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Discovery. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Discovery call.
My Discovery is push-to-start. Can you really program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late-model Discoverys (2017–2021) use a proximity smart key on the Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P) system — our trucks carry the fobs and the programmer. We cut the emergency blade too.
