Hi all, I've seen some old threads about this but as you can probably guess I've a Renault Megane 2005. The card key is coming up as card not detected in the slot. I'm using a knife (as seen on youtube) to get the car started. I've been quoted €120 by a local mechanic who is going to reprogram the computer to a new key. The buttons to open and unlock the car don't work very often, maybe 50% of the time. I've seen DIY fixes but I'm useless at that stuff. Anyone have any reliable people they go to for this stuff? Im based in Kerry

If the buttons are working intermittently then the card is on its way out. Get a new one
