Problem:
Generated lost ID Range Rover Evoque 2018 using Xhorse XM38 JLR style smart key. Then programmed a key for a 2018 Evoque with vvdi key tool plus 2 weeks ago.
Sometimes smart function works fine, sometimes no key detected, place the key to the sensing area, works. Sometimes no Buttons work, sometimes they work. Special issue when the key is in the shell. The original key works without problem. Any idea?
Possible solutions:
Solution 1:
Check the key fob battery (with new and good battery).
Solution 2:
Increase power output.
Go to menu where you generate the key.
Click modify and increase power setting.
Once you click on the modify button, it will read your key.
Then it will list button details, frequency, power etc.
Increase in increments of 5, so if it’s set to 5, change to 10 for example.
Solution 3:
Some people had the similar issue with XM38 smart key.
Use other keys. For example, use Autel iKey smart key.
Just upgrade him to the AUTEL key and do clone from BCM 1 key id or just buy an original key and add it by OBD.
