Land Rover Discovery Key Replacement

Land Rover Discoverys have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 2015 era, and across 2 key generations this model has used 1 different key system — proximity smart key. Whichever yours is, DFW Keys 4 Cars cuts and programs it at your location, 24/7: spare keys, lost-everything replacements, fob programming, and lockouts. Call (214) 717-6398.


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.

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.

Which key does your year have?

  • 2015–2021: Proximity smart key — Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P) (HU101 insert)
  • 2017–2021: Proximity smart key — Hitag-Pro / ID49 (PCF7953P) (HU101 insert)

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.

How fast can you reach my Discovery in DFW?

We dispatch the nearest mobile unit across the whole metroplex, 24/7. Call (214) 717-6398 with your location and we’ll give you an honest ETA.
