Another high-risk job completed safely today - a 2025 Renault Trafic spare key card added successfully 🔑🚐

These newer Renault systems are far from a simple plug-in job. To carry this work out properly, half the dashboard needs stripping out to gain access to the vehicle’s UCH module, where specialist equipment is then connected directly into the system.

This is not a job for cheap tools or guesswork. One mistake on these newer Renaults can easily immobilise the van completely.

Using the correct procedures, advanced equipment, and proper knowledge, we carried out the job safely and successfully with everything working exactly as it should ✅

Another happy customer back on the road 🚕🔑

This taxi driver came to us after visiting 3 different garages with an ongoing key issue. One garage had even “remapped” the buttons so the unlock button opened the boot instead! 🤦‍♂️

The key kept playing up despite battery changes and other attempts to fix it, leaving the driver struggling to work properly.

We stayed away from the cheap plastic imitation shells that never last and supplied a brand new, modern flip key built to a much better standard. ✅

Now the central locking and boot are all working correctly again, and the taxi driver can get back to work with a reliable key once more 👌

☀️ With the nicer weather here, more people are out and about heading to the beach, parks, days out and holidays. It also means more lost car keys, locked keys in cars, and stressful all keys lost situations.

Now is the perfect time to get a spare car key cut and programmed before you need it.

A spare key can save you time, stress and money - often costing 3-4x less than dealing with an all keys lost situation.

At Car Key Dan we also help with:

Early start today for this one…

Customer was on the way from London down to Paignton when she stopped at Taunton services - only to realise the smart key had been left at home so wouldn’t start again 😬 Understandably very stressed, especially with family plans over Easter.

4:30am start for me, but got out to her, sorted the issue, and got her back on the road 👍

Now she can carry on and enjoy some well-earned family time 🐣

If you ever find yourself stuck like this, you know who to call! 🚗🔑

🔑 Peugeot 107 - All Keys Lost Job Today 🔑

Not every job is a quick plug-in and program… today’s Peugeot 107 was one of the more involved ones.

The customer had unfortunately lost all keys, and unlike many vehicles, these can’t be programmed through the OBD port. Instead, the immobiliser system has to be accessed directly.

Peugeot decided to tuck the immobiliser box right up behind the heater matrix - which meant a full dashboard removal to get to it 😅

Once removed, I took the EEPROM onto the bench and programmed a brand new key directly to the system.

✅ New key programmed
✅ Vehicle fully working again
✅ One very happy customer

Jobs like this take time and care, but it’s always worth it to get someone back on the road 👍

Less than 8 weeks might not feel like much time.

But it’s enough to:

✔️ Move from a Grade 4 → 5
✔️ Push a 5 → 6
✔️ Even unlock higher grades

The key isn’t working harder.

It’s working smarter—with the right support.

If your child is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lacking confidence… you don’t have to navigate this alone.
