The Story
A replacement key for a modern Land Rover is not a simple errand. The Genuine OEM part LR116873 carries a high dealer price tag, requires a VIN to order, and typically demands a dealer programming appointment before the key will operate the vehicle. Our DEFKEY 315MHz Replacement Key Fob is a high-quality solution that covers the same 2020 and newer fitment range, ships as a complete assembly ready to cut and program, and is fully compatible with the GAP IID Tool for owner-directed programming without a dealer visit.
Each DEFKEY unit includes the full five-button remote housing, internal 315MHz electronics, and an uncut HU101 profile key blade. The five buttons cover lock, unlock, lights, tailgate, and panic, replicating the function set of the original LR116873 key. The electronics operate on a 315MHz frequency specification used in U.S.-market Land Rover vehicles. The key blade is uncut and will need to be cut to your vehicle's key code by a qualified locksmith or key-cutting service before it can be used in the door lock or ignition.
Programming is required before this key will operate your vehicle. The DEFKEY key is fully compatible with the GAP IID Tool, which guides the owner through the pairing process step by step and eliminates the need for a dealer programming appointment. The GAP IID Tool is sold separately in our store, and a complete kit pairing the DEFKEY key with the GAP IID Tool is also available for customers who prefer an all-in-one solution.

FAQ
Does this key come ready to use, or does it require programming?
Programming is required before this key will operate your vehicle. The DEFKEY unit ships complete with housing, internal 315MHz electronics, and an uncut key blade, but it must be paired to your vehicle's security system before it will function. Programming is performed using the GAP IID Tool, which is sold separately in our store. A complete kit bundling the DEFKEY key with the GAP IID Tool is also available if you prefer to have everything in one order.
What is included with the DEFKEY replacement key fob and what will I still need?
Each unit includes the complete five-button remote housing, internal electronics, and an uncut HU101 profile key blade. You will need a locksmith or key-cutting service to cut the blade to your vehicle's key code before it can be used in the door lock or ignition. You will also need the GAP IID Tool, sold separately, to complete the programming process before the remote functions will work.
Is this key compatible with European or non-U.S. market Land Rovers?
No. The DEFKEY unit operates on the 315MHz frequency used exclusively in U.S.-specification Land Rover vehicles. European and other international market vehicles use a 433MHz security system and are not compatible with this key.
