Notes & cautions
- This chassis Land Rover Freelander 2 L359 (LR2) uses Philips PCF7941/7945A/7953A HITAG-2 (2006-2014). Covered by Lonsdor K518 USA + JLR adapter, Autel IM608 + IMKPA JLR module, Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus + JLR KH100 module. PIN via BCM read or NASTF locksmith database.
- JLR smart proximity or remote head key: ensure existing key fob battery is functional before starting.
- Verify chip before booking (this chassis facelift): JLR ID49 HITAG-PRO (2014+) replaced PCF7941 HITAG-2 (2008-2014) which replaced Texas 4D60 (pre-2008). Some 2013-2015 Range Rover and Evoque chassis shipped with mid-cycle chip swap — confirm transponder ID from a working key with Lonsdor K518 reader before quoting.
- Tool kit context: Lonsdor JLR USA module is a SEPARATELY purchased SKU (~$200) — essential for K518 JLR coverage. Autel IMKPA JLR module + cloud token (~$5-15/session).

- Keep all existing/lost key fobs at least 10 metres from vehicle during AKL.
- AKL accessory needs: Lonsdor JLR USA module ($200 SKU) is mandatory for K518 JLR path; Autel IMKPA + JLR cloud token; Xhorse KH100 JLR. APB112 NOT mandatory. G-Box bench EEPROM NOT used. XP400 PRO only if BCM/IMMO EEPROM corrupted (rare).
