2001 Remote Key

[deuteronpsi]

I want to purchase an uncut remote key on ebay for a 2001 Discovery III since it is about $75 cheaper than the dealer. The dealer also wants another $80 to program the key to work with my truck. Does anyone know how I can but this key and program it myself so that I can save well over $100? Thanks in advance!

How to program the handset

Don't know about cutting the key, though...

NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs.
If a new handset is required, it will require
initialisation to the ECU using the
following procedure:
1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked,
bonnet switch depressed.
2. Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds.
3. Switch ignition ON.
4. Switch ignition OFF.
5. Lock doors.
6. Unlock doors.
7. Release bonnet switch.
8. Switch ignition ON.
9. Switch ignition OFF.
If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and
LED will light. It is now possible to programme two
handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU.
This must be carried out within two minutes.
10. Press and hold down button on first handset until
dash LED flashes.
11. Repeat instruction 10. for second handset.
12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have
been initialised correctly.

The key remote programming you have posted will only work on remotes that have 2 buttons. If you have a remote with a single button, which I believe the 2001 Disco has, you can only get it programmed by the dealer or an independant who has the Test Book.

Will this procedure work on a 2000 disco with 2 buttons?

Sorry about the above post, but in fact, it's the other way around. If you have the two button remote, then the program that Charvey posted will not work.
