What to do if the Renault Megane does not recognise the card

Model: Renault Megane Megane III, Megane 3 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Key

In this video, you will see a small trick to adopt if your Renault Megane does not recognise the card needed to start the vehicle. Unfortunately, this method is particularly prone to failure because the cards wear out easily. The system involves slightly rotating the card until you find the contact point, where it registers the start signal, allowing the vehicle to start when you press the ignition button. Naturally, the first thing to do once the vehicle is started using this method is to go to a Renault Dealer and get a new card, but at least you will have managed to start for this destination.
