The Land Rover Freelander 2 (L359) ran from 2006 to 2015 and is a JLR platform with a security module that is fully encrypted and tied to authorised Land Rover diagnostic equipment. That puts it well outside the reach of a general locksmith and forces most owners towards a main dealer wait. AJ Auto is the alternative. We cover every L359 model year from the 2006 launch through to the final 2015 cars, attending your home, office or roadside anywhere in the UK. Same day service in almost every case, with no lock module replacement and no need to send the vehicle to a workshop.
For a Freelander 2 spare key or a replacement for a damaged remote, our mobile technicians come to you and programme the new key on the spot. We carry the proper diagnostic software for the platform, along with genuine specification remotes that fully support central locking, push button start where fitted and the factory alarm. The new key is paired cleanly into the security module without affecting your existing keys, so you finish the job with both old and new remotes working together.
For all keys lost we attend your location, access the immobiliser directly, clear the old key data and programme fresh remotes in a single visit. There is no recovery, no flatbed and no waiting weeks for a dealer slot. Most attendances are completed in around an hour. Parts and programming are backed by a 12 month warranty and the price is fixed and agreed up front.
Land Rover Freelander 2 key programming varies depending on the model year. Earlier L359s from 2006 to 2010 use a simpler key system and are quicker to programme — a spare key typically takes 5 to 10 minutes and an all keys lost reset around 20 to 30 minutes. Later L359s from 2010 to 2015 introduced the more advanced smart proximity key with push button start on higher trims, which requires a full encrypted JLR diagnostic pairing and takes 5 to 10 minutes for a spare and 20 to 40 minutes for all keys lost.
In both cases the Freelander 2 uses an encrypted security module that requires genuine Land Rover diagnostic software — no aftermarket programmer can access it. We carry both the older key flip system and the later smart key hardware in the van, so whichever generation your L359 is, the right stock is there on the day. All Freelander 2 key programming is completed on site, next to your vehicle, without any recovery or workshop visit.
For earlier L359s (2006–2010), a spare key takes 5 to 10 minutes and an all keys lost reset takes 20 to 30 minutes. For later smart key L359s (2010–2015), a spare takes 5 to 10 minutes and all keys lost takes 20 to 40 minutes. All work is done on site with no recovery needed.
We are typically finished in 5 to 10 minutes for a spare key when you have a working remote, and 20 to 40 minutes for an all keys lost callout. Every job uses dealer-level JLR diagnostic tools.
Almost certainly. Smart keys have an effective service life of around 8 years, and most L359 fobs today are past that mark. Internal electronics drift with age regardless of care, which is why intermittent unlock and start faults are common on older L359 fobs. We replace rather than repair, because the same fault returns on a tired fob even with a new battery and case.
Yes, but we confirm ownership before any work begins — normally with the V5C and a photo ID. Auction and trade buys are very common on the L359 used market. We can pair fresh keys and clear any stale key data on the security module, so you start with a clean record paired only to your new fobs.
On the L359 a tired 12V battery often produces immobiliser warnings that look like a key fault but are voltage-related. We can diagnose this on site to confirm whether the issue is the key or the 12V supply, so you do not pay for a fresh fob if the actual fix is a battery replacement.
The practical saving is staying ahead of a roadside lockout rather than running on a fading fob until it fails completely. A fresh genuine remote paired at home avoids the disruption an all keys lost situation creates, costs less than a dealer visit and comes with a 12-month warranty.
