If you work on 2018 and newer Land Rover vehicles, pulling the RFA module and soldering microcontrollers used to be the only option. Lonsdor updated K518 and K518 PRO with a direct OBD key copy protocol that bypasses bench work entirely.

Tools & Fobs You Need

  • Lonsdor K518 or K518 PRO Programmer
  • Lonsdor ADP-40 Adapter
  • Working JLR original keys, Lonsdor JLR smart keys, or Lonsdor remotes (Toyota-style remotes will not work).

  1. Go to Land Rover -> Select from vehicle -> Land Rover (2018–) -> Key copy (via OBD).
  2. Follow the on-screeninstruction to finish copying the working key.

Why This Method Works Best

  • Zero Tear-Down:You don’t need to rip apart the rear trim to pull the RFA module out.
  • Zero Soldering Risk:No hot air or soldering irons near sensitive board processors.
  • Retains Proximity & UWB:Keyless entry and push-start work just like factory fobs.
  • Saves Money:Works with the vehicle’s original RFA unit, so you don’t have to sell the customer a costly new module.
