New Key Procedure?

[colonelk]

Hi,

I am getting a new key fob and key cut and just wondering if the procedure below would register the new one with immobiliser etc? Car is Phase 2 172 '03 plate. My apologies if in the wrong section.

1. Turn Ignition OFF.
2. Press the central door locking button in the car for more than 5 seconds.
Note :the door should lock then unlock.
3. When this happens, 10 seconds is allowed for the rest of the procedure and the immobiliser warning light should illuminate – not flash, illuminate.
4. Point the 1st key at the receiver and press the button twice, the doors should then lock and unlock. Repeat this for other remotes as required.
5. Check that the remote control unlocks and locks the doors.

Have tried searching and found something similar, but not a definite answer.

Thanks

No . If you do a search it's been talked about umpteen times . You'll need to go to a dealership i'm afraid and part with alot of cash to have it programmed .

I did do a search as I said in my post. Thanks for the reply though...looks like I'll have to stick with just one key then

 

[colonelk]

Helps if you actually do a proper look at the search results Have found loads about it now, sorry to have bothered you

Your first post is correct to re-sync a key but not program it. Stealer jobby im afraid.

Let me know how much you get quoted as i need a second key soon i think

 

[colonelk]

Will do, I have a feeling that it's not going to be cheap though..

That's ok , you didn't bother me . I wasn't being funny when i said do a search . Just that it's been asked so many times , always with the same answer for a " new key fob " . It's a dealership job . Iirc , it used to be somewhere in the region of £160 or thereabouts

Plips new and uncoded on ebay for £20 or £30 each.
We charge £45 to code them.

Thanks Mike...bit far to travel to get the key programmed though . Person I spoke to at local Renault stealers didn't have a clue so will be calling me back! I find that slightly worrying

I was speaking to a local key cutter who told me £35 to copy a key..

 

[colonelk]

Thanks Chi, that might be the way to go Will look into..

I bet you all the tea in china a main dealer wont code a key you've not bought from them- I may be wrong.

A specialist will though.

The link is a good one.

Ahh...that may be why they're going to phone me back

What do you need to code them?

 

[colonelk]

A very deep wallet! Just got a call back. No they won't program one they don't supply. Plip is £86 + VAT, Blade is £17 + VAT - all including programming is £205.92

 

[GrahamS]

Do you need a piece of kit to program the key or can it be done with just clip?

 

[Chi]

As far as I know they have a chip that can be cloned on a machine.. Nothing too high tech. . Might look into buying one

 

[Mike@Rentech]

you need the immobiliser code from Renault for your car and a clip machine, the plips in the link work fine have done around 10 of them since a customer of mine pointed them out saves people a fortune.

the immobiliser code is in the front of the service book isnt it?

 

[GrahamS]

Assume then Mike you can just call Renault up and ask for it?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

No its not, renault have it on a database.
