If you’ve ever owned a Renault with a key card you’ll know the problems related to owning one. These key cards are prone to failure due to ware and tare or because it has become bent in your pocket.

If your key card has failed you will get a message on your dash saying '“Card not detected” or “Card not recognised”

If you’ve lost all your keys, or simply need a spare key, going to your main dealer is always an option. Here in Exeter, it might seem especially convenient, being named the European hub for car dealerships. However using main dealers can be a far more expensive option.
