β οΈ Please note: USB port (either with SIM or HDMI or both) is required for activation.
We can repair the front BCM module that has been corrupted by disconnecting a battery and the car no longer recognises the key displaying "Smart Key Not Found".
Symptoms:
When your JLR vehicle is re-mapped by a tuning company, the ECU can flag up a fault code β "Non OEM Calibration Detected" or "Unauthorised Software/Calibration Detected".
We can apply genuine Land Rover software to the factory de-tuned versions which use the same engine as higher power software versions.
We can configure the stop/start system to remember the last used setting before the car was switched off.
This means you can have your stop/start disabled from start automatically every time you turn on the vehicle.
We can activate features that have not been activated in the factory but share the same hardware as currently installed on your vehicle β making it just a software change.
We can add additional optional extras by retrofits that require a hardware change as well as coding, such as:
We can replace lost & stolen keys on Jaguar, Land Rover & Range Rover vehicles.
Unlike most competitors who only add a key directly to the KVM Module (making the key unable to start via the emergency slot, displaying "Wrong Smart Key"), or clone the original key data (meaning lost/stolen keys can still start the car)...
β We program keys properly β working on remote/keyless AND backup emergency start. Same dealer procedure, lower cost.
SDD (Symptom Driven Diagnostics) and Topix Cloud are JLR's official diagnostic platforms. They connect to JLR servers to access:
JK Car Electrics specialises in Body Control Module (BCM) diagnostics, replacement, cloning and programming for all Land Rover and Jaguar models. If your vehicle will not start, has a black dashboard, no remote locking or electrical faults β we can diagnose and repair the BCM correctly.
Newer Land Rover & Jaguar models (2018+) use a BCM that also acts as a communications gateway. When this fails, the vehicle can appear completely dead β even when the battery is fine.
β‘ This is often misdiagnosed as battery, starter or power supply issues. We correctly diagnose, repair and program these BCM units.
Full electrical & network analysis to pinpoint faults accurately.
Correct OEM configuration using SDD/Topix Cloud.
New or refurbished modules available and programmed.
Retains your original immobiliser data & keys.
Ensures secure start and correct key synchronisation.
Replace, program, add/delete keys, sync with RFA modules.
We offer the same technical capability as the main dealer, but with faster service, onsite repair options and lower total cost.
My vehicle is totally dead with a black dashboard β is it the BCM?
On many 2018+ JLR models, yes. This is a common gateway BCM failure where the BCM acts as the main communication hub. We can diagnose and repair this issue.
Does the vehicle need to be recovered to a garage?
No β we offer a fully mobile service and come to your location. The main dealer typically requires the vehicle to be transported in at additional cost.
Can the BCM be cloned to retain my existing keys?
Yes. We can often transfer your original security data and key programming to a replacement module, meaning your existing keys continue to work.
How much does JLR coding and programming cost?
Prices vary depending on the service required. Contact us with your vehicle details and we'll provide a competitive quote β typically significantly less than main dealer prices.
Can you program a replacement key if I've lost all my keys?
Yes. We can perform all-keys-lost key programming for Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles using the same dealer procedures β your keys will work on keyless entry AND the emergency backup slot.
