Renolink megane 3 key

**extream87** · 26th October, 2020, 07:06 PM

Hello people i want to ask you an question.
Ive an Renault Megane 3 2012 and i want to know the correct procedure to program keys using renolink with an working key card and without working card.

This is correct?

1 - read pin
2 - connect
3 - start learning
4 - put working card
5 - learn key card
6 - put new key card
7 - learn key card
8 - validate

Or i need to click in test presence of card in any moment?
This is my last key card and sometimes the car shows no key card recognized so im assuming the card will wont lasts longer
Thanks all.

Call for lockie if you want sleep well. Renolink is not trusted interface (many people had bad experiance with coding keys with it.

Yes ive read many people on forum saying got uch blank but others done the job....dunno
If i try only:
1 - read pin
2 - connect
3 - start learning
4 - put working card
5 - learn key card
6 - put new key card
7 - learn key card
8 - validate

I take the risk of get uch erased?

I think Megane 3 2012 with original UCH software it's safe. I had UCH blank after reading ISK and PIN on a Renault Master 2017 but UCH software was upgraded in 2019. But PIN was correct and I learnt again UCH + new key with existing key (containing ISK) and PIN read at the beginning. You must acces coresponding XML of the UCH.
On the other hand Dacia models 2019 worked flawless (BCM T4).

If i try only:
1 - read pin
2 - connect
3 - start learning
4 - put working card
5 - learn key card
6 - put new key card
7 - learn key card
8 - validate

It's correct. For cards i think you need to press "START" button between steps 4-5 and 6-7.

I take the risk of get uch erased?

IMHO no. In my case (Master 2017) UCH get erased when I attempted to read PIN but PIN was read correctly and I read it multiple times.
But for Megane 3 2012 with original UCH software I think you won't have any problems with Renolink 1.87.

Renolink is not safe to use what kind of support will you get after messing up someone car call a Locksmith and dream happy or pay the price also the tool is not easy to use for the beginners so stay well away if you want something good buy Renault ecu tool stop playing with Renolink otherwise you will play the price.

To stay safe its possible to dump uch?

The safest thing you can do is either buy trucode, or cheaper again hire a local locksmith, the latter the better

I also want to know the coding procedure.

I managed to read the card with Renolink. At first must you scan the car otherwise it will not copy. After the scan can you do the following steps: Choose extra in renolink/ keys/type uch and then:

Read pin
Connect
Insert blank key (new one)
Test presence
Remove key
Start learning
Put again the blank key
Learn key card
Remove key
Put the key you already have
Learn key card
Now you have 2 keys ids check the 2 checkboxs and click validate and disconnect and done

I have one problem, I used a card from aliexpress. The card is not working properly with buttons. Do you a better supplier of cards ?
I managed to read the card, but I had to scan the car before I could copy the key.
