Starting Issues - Immobiliser Light Flashing - Parallel Import Question



My car is a ph1 172 parallel import and I am having the very common immobiliser fault.

My car has had a Cat 1 after market alarm fitted in the UK and I presume that the car has a Cat 2 immobiliser on it as standard from Renault.

So my questions are:

Do parallel imports come with a Cat 2 immobiliser?

If they do would I still have to replace the key at Renault because it will need to be coded to the pre-fitted Cat 2 immobiliser or can I buy a blank key and get it coded by an auto electrician to the aftermarket Cat 1 that has been fitted to the car?

Any help/advice would be much appreciated!


Thanks!
