Need a spare key coded...

[dciRon]

Had just one key given to us when we got the car, have managed to get hold of a secondhand blip, case, & have had a blade cut to match mine, this gives me greater piece of mind if I should accidently lock my keys in the car, I can use this to manually open the door... :approve:

Ideally I want to get this coded so it will work as a normal key to remotely unlock the doors, work in the ignition etc...

Renault have said the plip chips themselves are coded for life, & I will need to buy a brand new one (£100ish) & then pay an hours labour to get it coded(£43ish)

Is this fact or fiction? Anyone got a new key done recently?

There is a method that is something to do with pressing and hold central locking button whilst key is in ingnition etc.(cant find it though)
But I'm pretty sure once key has been coded its done for life. You may get it to remote unlock but not start.

Been told not to try the key in the ignition as the immobiliser may have a collosal sense-of-humour-failure and lock out... Urban legend or not I'm not in a hurry to find out, lol

My diagnostics scanner can code keys but ur a bit far away..

I also need this done myself, got the key here and an extra blade to go in there, just not got around to coding it to the car (its the infared type)

Need to ring a dealer at some point and get it done, its just finding the time to do it

i need a new circuit board to go in the key aswel, the button fell off the circuit board on mine and soldered it back on but still doesnt work.

£43 to code a key is really cheap ! personally id go snatch their hand off, we charge £81.08

Cost me 140 in total for the key to be cut and all programmed, i needed one as only had one with car, and spares are vital! - i thought 140 all in wasnt too bad....average i think this day an age, espesh for main dealer

I have renault CLIP (Just the coding btw). Get a second hand key, and get it reprogrammed. You just need the key part from your car, and the plip can be transfered to it.
