The fifth-generation Range Rover, the L460 launched in 2022, uses Ultra-Wideband key technology. This is a step up from the PEPS system used on the L405 and represents the most advanced proximity key system JLR has deployed to date. If you own an L460 and need a spare key, here is what that means in practice.
Range Rover L460 Spare Key Cost
| Service | AJ Auto Price | Main Dealer Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Range Rover L460 spare key | From £180 | £400 to £900+ |
| Range Rover L460 all keys lost | From £250 | £700 to £1,500+ |
What UWB Actually Changes
Ultra-Wideband provides centimetre-level precision in key location detection, compared to the metre-level accuracy of traditional PEPS. The practical benefit is more precise detection of whether the key is inside or outside the vehicle, which reduces false detections and relay attack vulnerability. The key blank for a UWB system is different from a standard PEPS fob and cannot be substituted. We carry L460 UWB key blanks specifically.
Programming the L460 Key
The L460 uses Pathfinder for key programming, the same JLR diagnostic platform used across the current range. The programming sequence has additional steps for UWB key pairing compared to PEPS models, but the process is the same in principle: connect to the KVM, verify ownership, add the new key profile, test. The job takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Digital Key on the L460
Some L460 specifications include a digital key function allowing a compatible smartphone to lock and unlock the vehicle. Digital key capability supplements the physical key but does not replace it for KVM purposes. A spare physical key is still the only reliable backup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the L460 UWB key better than the previous L405 PEPS key?
Yes, specifically for relay attack resistance. UWB’s Time of Flight measurement makes signal amplification attacks significantly harder. For general use, both function identically.
Can the L460 spare key be programmed without the original?
No. A spare key addition requires the existing working key to be present. If every key is lost, an all-keys-lost service is needed.
Does the digital key replace the need for a spare?
No. Digital key is a supplement to the physical key system. A physical spare key is still the only reliable backup for all situations.
How do I confirm my L460 has UWB rather than standard PEPS?
We confirm via VIN check at booking. Current production L460 models use UWB on most specifications, but we verify before attending.
What We See in Practice
The L460 is the current-generation full-size Range Rover and we attend L460 callouts for both spare key and all keys lost work on vehicles that are only a few years old. The observations we make most frequently on L460 jobs are that owners assume the process is straightforward because the vehicle is new, and are sometimes surprised by the complexity of the security architecture. The L460 uses the most advanced proximity entry system of any Range Rover to date and the programming process reflects that. Booking ahead and confirming the exact specification before attendance avoids delay caused by sourcing specialist hardware on the day.

When to go to a dealer instead
If your vehicle is still under JLR factory warranty and the fault is covered, take it to a dealer. Warranty repairs are free and no specialist can match that. If you need a recall fix, the dealer is the right call. Outside of those two situations, a mobile JLR specialist will be faster, cheaper, and will attend at your location.
