WE NO LONGER SUPPLY EKA CODES FROM A VIN OR CHASSIS NUMBER
Please do not sent us threats, email, text’s, WhatsApp messages, we do not have any access to EKA codes, we cannot obtain EKA from a registration, VIN, Chassis number, complain to your local Land Rover dealer not us!
This code is only used in emergencies to start your Land Rover when your remote is lost or it fails to work, get a spare key fob! On many models you need to enter the EKA code EVERY time you need to start your Land Rover so you cannot use this method for a full immobiliser bypass.
We do NOT supply codes via email
You need your EKA code? Go to a Land Rover main dealer with proof of ownership and ask for the EKA code, many dealers will supply free of charge and the code is usually the correct one unlike many purchased from online websites.
PLEASE READ! as we get this question daily: you CANNOT programme new keys, order new keys, or re-programme the immobiliser system with the EKA code.
