Battery might be low if your using it hands free.
as soon as they drop to 2.8 volts they do weird things

Not weird at all...yours also has a slot for the key, under the start button.

Have a look under there, you'll see it.
I recall it's on the opposite side to the start button...nearest the driver.

Ah I'll have a look, thanks mate.

Slot on the Bottom right, all of them have it, apart from cups (not standard cars with the cup chassis) which iirc use a key rather than a card

Search hard enough and you'll find a similar thread/comments from me when I had my 200.
Unless you're looking for it or someone points it out you'd never know it was there!

Isn't the card slot used for 'programming' things in the car?

Used Panasonic battery's assume they are ok. It's only occasional so not bothering me too much yet, if it persists or gets worse then I may have to look into this more.

Useful to know that using the card slot is the only way to shut the engine off while leaving the steering unlocked.
While replacing front brake pads I had the front on axle stands and couldn't work out how to keep our unlocked so II could turn each side for access. Had to ask Mike at Rentech in the end.

Is that not the OBD port?

I think the card slot has something to do with activating/deactivating keyless entry

Oh fair point.

I think people that never use the slot eventually have problems with the car not detecting the card, once they started using the slot again it started working again the odd time they didnt use the slot.

Il say no more then, thought I was looking at some electrical fault or dodjy card. I won't worry for now. Thanks all

Like ive said, start using thr slot for a period of time and then try without and see if it sorts it. On the other hand it maybe a problem with circuit board as there prone to break. Take it youve changed the batteries already
200
Yes mate changed the battery's first of as I had read they usually cause the problems. It's due it's 5 yr service next year so ill get them to have a dig into the problem then. Cheers

I've read that putting the card in the slot charges an 'internal' battery?? Tried it on the wife's and it cured the card not detected problem!?!
Had the same problem okn a megane cured by putting the card in the freezer! Took the card apart and there's a coil on the pcb that had come loose (common fault on Renaults) so resoldered it and cured the fault!

Just to throw a spanner in the works, i left my card in the wife's 197 and the wife locked the car with the door button and her card in her purse.
10 mins later i remebered i'd my left my card in the car, so ran out and tried the door, it wouldn't open. I had to get the wife's card to open the door to get my card!!!
Glad my cup has a key!
