Activity Key
The Land Rover Activity Key is an effective way to lock and unlock your vehicle. The wristband is wearable and replaces your standard key fob and allows you to live a full life without worrying about whether it might be lost or misplaced.
The Activity Key is available on all new Land Rover and Range Rover models. It works with your traditional smart key fob to open and lock your vehicle. The system makes use of an invisible sensor embedded into the bodywork (e.g. an alphabetic "J" in the tailgate script) to unlock the vehicle and reconnect the traditional key fob inside the cabin.
Then, turn off the engine of your car and leave the key fob inside. Once you've exited the vehicle, close all doors and hold the Activity Key to the Jaguar symbol on the tailgate for a few seconds. This will activate your system's antennae. Your warning lights will flash to verify that you're locked in.
When you're ready to return to the vehicle, press the release button on the tailgate and activate your antennae. This will activate the activity key to lock/unlock your vehicle. Your hazard lights will flash as confirmation that your smart fob has been disabled until your return.
