Unhappy Discovery

A LAND Rover spokesman told us this situation does occasionally happen, however it's very rare and doesn't only affect Land Rovers, but all vehicles with keyless entry. Mobile-phone towers, airports and shopping centres can cause interference. In 2000 Land Rover changed the frequency of its keyless entry systems, reducing the risk of any interference. They advise that you should speak to your Land Rover dealer to see if it's possible to change the frequency of your system.
