How to disable keyless entry on Range Rovers (Evoque checked & working)

With the abundance of thefts and un-authorised entry of key-less entry cars at the moment I investigated as to whether it would be possible to turn off the keyless entry on a Range Rover (specifically I was able to verify & test this on a 2014 Evoque). So many LUX pack Range Rover Evoques come with keyless access as a standard feature.

It’s actually simpler that one would imagine.

How to turn off keyless entry (steps);

Stage 1: Unlock car with zapper or by opening the driver’s door
Stage 2: Sit in drivers seat, keeping the driver’s door open
Stage 3: Press these buttons in order on the key fob. Headlights/Headlights/Headlights/Open(unlock car button) – So to repeat, press the headlight button three times, then the open padlock button once.

To check that Keyless opening has been deactivated, close driver’s door and lock the car with the keyfob. Then attempt to open the driver’s door without using the keyfob.

How to Enable and turn-on Keyless entry again.

Stage 1: Unlock car with zapper or by opening the driver’s door
Stage 2: Sit in drivers seat, keeping the driver’s door open
Stage 3: Press these buttons in order on the key fob. Headlights/Headlights/Headlights/Lock (Lock car button) – So to repeat, press the headlight button three times, then the closed padlock button once.

To check that Keyless entry has been re-activated on the Evoque, close the driver’s door and lock the car with the keyfob. Then attempt to open the driver’s door without using the keyfob.

Hope this helps!
