There is one main reason we attend for vehicles with these Renault keycards. 90% of the time it’s because the card has become bent. One of the joints on the circuit board inside the case and it will no longer work. The car won’t start.
What causes this? Simple. Putting the keycard in your back pocket, then sitting on it.
In an emergency you may be able to get the card to work in the slot if you wedge something else such as a thin knife with it. This may squeeze the case together enough to make the connection and you can drive home.
Clio, Laguna, Megane, Master and other Renault can use this cards. They come in the type you have to put in the slot, and the handsfree type with push button start. We can replace both these types but it’s much cheaper for you not to sit on them in the first place!
