Evoque keys.
Both platforms covered.

The Range Rover Evoque is one of the highest-volume premium SUVs in the UK — and one of the most common JLR key jobs we see. Both generations are covered, with full KVM/RFA support and used-module adaptation for trade and salvage.

01 / L538 (2011-2018)

Original Evoque L538.

The first-generation Evoque — coupé, 5-door and convertible. KVM-based key system with conventional smart-fob entry. Spare keys, all-keys-lost via OBD, and KVM adaptation for repaired or rebuilt cars. Often quickest of all JLR jobs.

OBD spare & AKL
02 / L551 (2018+)

Current Evoque L551.

The current Evoque. UWB-based smart key on later years, RFA module. More complex than L538 but fully covered with our dealer-grade equipment. Spare keys 60-90 minutes, all-keys-lost 90-150 minutes typical.

UWB · RFA covered
03 / KVM module work

KVM/RFA replacements.

When the central security module fails, the car often won't recognise its keys. We diagnose, adapt used KVM/RFA modules onto your VIN, and programme new keys to match — typically £1,000+ cheaper than a dealer-supplied module + coding.

Used modules adapted
04 / Convertible & coupé

All Evoque variants.

5-door, 3-door coupé, and the convertible — all share the same key platform for their respective era. P200, P250, P300, D165, D180, D200 — engine spec doesn't change the procedure.

All bodystyles & engines
05 / Plug-in hybrid

P300e plug-in Evoque.

The PHEV Evoque has the same key system as the petrol/diesel variants — we handle these identically. No HV battery work needed for key programming itself, but we're IMI Level 3 EV/Hybrid qualified if any related coding involves HV systems.

PHEV covered
06 / Salvage & trade

Evoque salvage rebuilds.

Common rebuild project — Cat S/Cat N Evoques are frequent on the auction market. We handle full key programming plus KVM/RFA adaptation for trade and rebuild work. Trade rates for repeat business.

Identify first.
Programme properly.

Two different Evoque platforms means two different procedures. We confirm which one you've got before starting, then follow the manufacturer-spec process exactly. No shortcuts, no risk to the immobiliser.

  1. 01

    Confirm L538 vs L551

    First we confirm your Evoque platform (the easiest tell is the body style — L538 has the original styling, L551 is the more rounded current shape). This decides whether we use the KVM or RFA procedure.

  2. 02

    Read & verify the module

    Read the KVM (L538) or RFA (L551) module state, confirm immobiliser status and identify how many keys are currently registered. For all-keys-lost jobs we extract the necessary cryptographic credentials directly from the module.

  3. 03

    Programme, pair & verify

    Pre-coded fob is programmed and paired to your VIN. We then verify smart entry, ignition, locking, and remote functions before leaving. Any lost keys are disabled at the same time for security.

Dealer alternative

Land Rover dealers charge £450-£800 for an Evoque key replacement, plus recovery, plus 1-2 weeks of waiting. DashTech comes to your driveway with the same software the dealer uses — often same-day, always cheaper.

Lost both keys to my 2017 Evoque while moving house — couldn't even open the car. DashTech opened it on the driveway and programmed a fresh set the same evening. Saved a recovery truck fee on top of everything.

Bought a 2020 Evoque privately, only got one key. Wanted a spare before insurance lapsed. £320, 75 minutes, on my driveway. Dealer quoted £550 and a fortnight. No contest.

PHEV Evoque smart key stopped working after a battery flatten. Local dealer wouldn't touch it for 3 weeks. DashTech diagnosed the KVM, reprogrammed both fobs, sorted me out same day.

Evoque keys, explained.

How much is a Range Rover Evoque spare key?
L538 (2011-2018) typical spare key cost is £220-£320. L551 (2018+) is £280-£400 depending on whether it's a UWB smart key. All-keys-lost is £450-£650. We send a fixed price up front from your registration — message us via WhatsApp for a quote within minutes.
How long will an Evoque key job take?
Spare key for an L538: 45-75 minutes. Spare key for L551: 60-90 minutes. All-keys-lost: 90-150 minutes for either platform. We arrive with everything we need — no waiting for parts.
My Evoque says "Key not detected" but the battery's fresh — is that a key or KVM problem?
Usually a KVM/RFA fault rather than the key itself. We diagnose it on the driveway in 15-30 minutes. Sometimes a reprogramming fixes it; occasionally the module needs deeper work or used-module adaptation. Much cheaper than the dealer's automatic "new module" response.
Do you do all-keys-lost on a 2020+ Evoque?
Yes — the L551 platform is fully covered with our dealer-grade equipment. UWB-based smart keys are more complex than older systems but we have the tooling. Some 2022+ examples may need bench access to the RFA module; we confirm based on your registration before booking.
Can you supply the older 3-button Evoque coupé fob?
Yes — both the coupé and 5-door L538 share the same key/KVM platform, so we cover them identically. The convertible too. We bring the right fob (and right blade-cut if needed) to your driveway.
Do you offer trade rates for Evoque salvage rebuilds?
Yes — we have established trade pricing for repeat rebuild work. Evoque is one of the most common JLR rebuild projects, so we see plenty. Discounted rates start from your 3rd job. Same-day turnaround in most cases.
What if I've lost all my keys to my car?
No problem — we can programme a new key from scratch with no working key needed. We come to wherever the car is parked, programme a transponder and remote on the driveway, and verify everything works before leaving. Most all-keys-lost jobs are completed in 60–120 minutes on site. See our dedicated All Keys Lost page for emergency details.
Will the new key be a genuine OEM key or aftermarket?
Both options available. Aftermarket keys are good quality, identical function, lower cost — the most popular choice. Genuine OEM (manufacturer-branded) keys are available on request at slightly higher cost. We discuss both options when you enquire.
Do existing keys still work after a new one is programmed?
Yes by default — adding a new key doesn't disable existing ones. If you've lost a key and want the missing one disabled for security (so it can't be used to steal the car if found), we can do that during the same visit. All-keys-lost jobs automatically clear any previously-programmed keys.
Do you cover my make and model?
BMW (E-series, F-series, G-series), MINI, Audi, VW, SEAT, Skoda, Mercedes, Porsche, Ford, Vauxhall, Land Rover, Jaguar, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and most modern Japanese and Korean marques. Send the registration over and we'll confirm before booking.
Where do you cover for mobile key programming?
DashTech Services is based in Wimbledon, South-West London. We cover London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the wider South-East within an 80-mile radius for same-day mobile work. Pre-booked jobs further afield are also welcome — get in touch.
