Renault & Dacia Car Key Replacement in Croydon

Many Renaults, among them the Megane, Scenic, Clio, Captur and Kadjar, use a key card rather than a key, either pushed into a slot or kept in a pocket for hands-free entry and start. Others use a conventional remote key. Both are coded through the UCH, Renault’s central control module, and Trafic and Master vans are covered too.

Key systems we work with

Renault Hands-Free Key Cards, UCH Control Module, 4-Button Smart Cards

Faults we see on Renault keys

'Card Not Detected' error on dashboard, broken coil in key card, and worn micro-switches.

Dacia is part of Renault Group and its cars use Renault key and immobiliser systems, so the same blanks, tools and programming cover both.

Dacia models we cover: Duster, Sandero, Sandero Stepway, Jogger, Logan.
