The Defender 2022 is now inaccessible due to the key fob being left inside the vehicle.


Recommended Posts

Greetings, everyone.

In 2022, my Defender vehicle became locked with the key fob inadvertently left inside. I attempted to lock it using the in-control app, but now I am unable to open it due to an error shown by the app. Unfortunately, I do not have a replacement key available.
I attempted to reinstall the application, but it did not resolve the issue.
Does anybody have advice on how to proceed in this situation? I reached out to the local Land Rover dealership and they suggested bending my door, but warned that it might potentially cause damage. This approach strikes me as unprofessional.

Contact the land rover roadside assistance hotline. If the automobile has remote connection, I believe they would be able to assist you with unlocking it.

If not, I am certain that any skilled locksmith can unlock the automobile. Typically, a tiny balloon is inserted into the upper corner of the door and inflated slightly to provide space for a tool to reach the unlock button or door handle.

The inflation device will create a gap by flexing the upper part of the door, but it is unlikely to do any harm to the door. I have observed people using it on various types of automobiles without encountering any problems.
