Range Rover Evoque Locksmith Hamilton

The first-generation Evoque (roughly 2011–2019) spans both the older Jaguar Land Rover immobiliser on earlier cars and KVM — the Keyless Vehicle Module — from around 2015. The second-generation Evoque, from 2019, runs KVM throughout.

A spare key cut from a working original is usually a same-visit job on either system. All-keys-lost on a KVM-equipped Evoque is considerably longer than a spare key, because the module has to be worked on directly with no existing key to authenticate against. We tell you which system your Evoque uses, and the likely time and cost, before we come out.

We can delete a lost, stolen or unreturned key from the system at the same visit so it cannot start the vehicle again.

Smart key battery failure accounts for most of our Evoque calls — intermittent proximity detection or a push-button start that misses occasionally. We carry the right battery and re-pair the fob on site.

Owners down to a single key are a common planned-spare booking, and all-keys-lost happens more often than expected after years on one fob. We always confirm the system fitted and give a firm price before travelling.

A Fairfield owner lost her only Evoque key somewhere between her car and her front door — it was never found. With the car due for an early start the next morning, she called us that evening.

We confirmed her Evoque used the KVM system, gave her a firm price, and attended first thing. We worked at the module directly, generated a new key, and had her driving before her morning commitment.

Dealer alternative: a tow and a multi-day wait. We had her moving again within the hour of arriving.
