Renault scenic key or key reader

[wizz2c]

hi i have a scenic 53 reg come in today with CARD NOT DETECTED displayed on the dash, i do have both keys but to be honest there both in poor condition,one of them i can get to work if i take it out then back in several times, so im now thinking is it card or the reader. any thoughts appreciated . thanks

you need to check with other users to be 100%, but the word through the grape vine is that reno say to change the cards every 5 or so years, dude.

read the cards with zed bull... if they are failing change them,

if not- read the live data with clip and see what's going on.

card readers do fail... less often than the cards though

thanks i will test card tomorrow. do you thinks its likely that if the key is at fault it could this intermittent?

also could a second hand card be re-used on another car?

magane cards do fail alot, sometimes if you remove the card and turn it around and re insert it will read.
you can use second hand cards but the card has to be split and the transponder (id46 i think) has to be changed as they lock once programmed..i`d go for a new card as they are now only ?60 from stealer..

I have the same problem, laguna keycard. One key works good, but I have to push the other card in and out , turn it around, wiggle it to get it to work. It works fine with the door locking. New battery etc.
Last time I checked with dealer it was about ?120 - 150 for a key.

Can anyone tell me a dealer that does it for ?60 ish?

Do these weekly. Cards are not good at all. new one should solve your problem.

ok i have checked with stealer 120 plus vat and five days to to get it, i have another key to hand so i broke it open to see what could be wrong, i found that the solder joint to what looks like an anntenna amp was broken,armed with this info i added a pen lid to the key to act as a wedge to push the joint together when inserted in the reader and car starts every time. i know this is temp but at least customer can drive car until new key arrive's. see pics

Hi i have just started a similar thread to this,has anyone ever tried to change the chip in one of these keycards,as i have a few used ones & would like to make them blank once again,so they can be reprogrammed.is it as simple as just changing the chip or does the chip have to be preloaded with some software 1st
