Hi,
I've just bought a used '99 Clio to replace one that got written off. Unfortunately it only came with one key, so reckon it would be wise to get a spare.
I contacted the local Renault Dealer and they said it would be about £70 for a new key. Thing is, I have a spare key from the written-off Clio (same model & age) and was wondering if it was possible to program the ECU/remote locking to accept the old spare key - I'd then only need the metal bit which is about £13. The manual describes a process for programming the car to accept "jack keys" but not sure what this is. The Renault dealer says it can't be done but I am a bit skeptical.
Has anyone any experience of this and/or know whether it is possible to get the car to accept a new key 'blipper'?
Cheers, Ian.
