Why Renault Keys Take Proper Programming

Modern Renaults carry a transponder chip that the car's immobiliser must recognise before the engine will turn over. A high-street key-cutter can copy the blade shape, but the copy won't start the car because the chip hasn't been programmed to your specific vehicle. This is true whether it's a Clio hatchback or a Kangoo van.

I carry the diagnostic kit needed to programme that chip at your car or van. No dealer appointment, no waiting for a key to arrive, no recovery truck. Most Renault key jobs are done in your driveway or workplace within an hour or two — and I keep the most common Clio, Captur and Kangoo key blanks in the van, so there's no parts delay.

The Kangoo, Trafic & Master Vans

The Renault Kangoo, Trafic and Master share their locks and immobilisers with the Nissan NV250, Primastar and Interstar. Because so many Yorkshire tradespeople and self-employed couriers run them, I see a steady stream of van key replacements and lockouts. If you've lost your Kangoo key and need the van for Monday morning, I can usually have you working again the same afternoon.

The Renault Range I Cover

Clio, Megane, Captur, Kadjar, Arkana, Scenic, Zoe, Twingo, Espace, Koleos, Kangoo, Trafic, Master. I programme spares, recover lost keys, and open any of them without damage — including the newest keyless and electric models.
