Key card

[Jamie_McGee]

Hi all,

Hope this is in the right section.

whilst playing football my keycard got a good smack of the ball and has cracked and almost in two parts, although it's still working I was wondering how I go about replacing it and will this be pricey?

Thanks, Jamie

I don't think the key card itself is pricey, but you need to get it programmed to your car and I think only Renault can do that at a bit of a cost

That's great, thanks. Sellotape for the time being then...

Is the circuit board inside okay? If so buy a case off eBay for a tenner that's what I did once the dealer replaced it there's website that show you how to change it I'll have a look for the link

This isn't an easy job but if your careful it can be done took me around 40mins just to cut the case off (it's glued together) but easy enough if you can handle a NEW Stanley blade, must be a new one trust me and buy some superglue to put the new one together

Yeah the circuit board is fine, just all the plastic cracked in awkward places. I've ordered a new case of eBay so thanks for that information! Will be following the above link very closely if I'm to have any chance of getting this right!! Cheers for the help mate!

Test the circuit board when you remove it aswel I snapped a connection on mine but just took seconds to solder back on also the battery connections are molded in so have to cut the plastic there aswel before getting the circuit board out
