yes i get this i called the aa out because i couldnt even get the steering lock off, but before they came out i got it to work, hit the top left of the card on somat hard it works for me every time my spare key works every time so its the key card at fault on mine

have you changed the battery?

[burnsydavid]

Hi mate put a new battery in it still the same.

[chris2008]

mine can go months with out it saying card not detected its once in a blue moon when mine does it, but renault say iys a common prob, i dont think changing the battery make a diff all they battery is for is the central locking,

i hit mine on steering wheel if dont work

I must of got lucky with this, i had the same till i changed the battery in the fob. Saying that tho i dont need to put the card in the slot to start mine so maybe a different problem?

yep exactly same happend to me...

It gradually gets worse until on a roasting hot day with your baby in the car it decides not to work at all...nightmare

Great staff at arnold clarke in warrington...The mechanic told me that if you bend the card before you put it in the slot the dodgy contacts somtimes reconenct..

it works to get me home / back to the garage where I ordered new fob at £140
