card not detected

Postby bgray » Fri Jan 04, 2008 9:07 pm

Hi, Our second key card no longer starts the car, the card is used regularly, it locks and unlocks the car no problem, I get 'card not detected' displayed though when you try to start the engine. Any suggestions appreciated.

Does this affect both cards or just the one?

Battery has nothing to do with the card reader, battery is for remote central locking, even when battery is flat the car will still start.

The card may have come into contact with a strong magnet and erased the settings, it will need to be reprogrammed.

If you have hands free it has a hell of a lot to do with it if you don't put the card in the car reader...

Sh!t!! I think this may be the problem I have right now! Hope to God it doesn't cost me £600! My situation so far sounds identical to yours...

1.6 Megane Dynamic. 53 plate registered early 04. Last time I checked it was approaching 27K. Just a couple hundred off that I think. Out of warranty too. :evil:
