How Dacia Key Programming Works
Modern Dacia models (including Sandero, Duster, Logan, Jogger, and previous-generation models) use immobiliser systems that require the key or key card to be electronically paired to the car. Here’s our straightforward process:
-
Initial Assessment
- Confirm the model, year, and key type (traditional key, remote fob, or key card)
- Run OBD2 diagnostics to read immobiliser status and fault codes if needed
-
Cutting And Cloning (If Applicable)
- Cut a new key blade to code using your VIN or lock data
- Clone data from a working key where appropriate on certain platforms
-
Programming
- Program the transponder chip to the immobiliser using dealer-level tools
- Pair remote locking functions; for key cards, perform hands-free/card pairing routines
- When security data is unavailable, carry out EEPROM-level programming on the immobiliser or BCM
-
Testing And Handover
- Test remote locking, engine start, and emergency blade function
- Provide usage tips (e.g., key card battery care) and warranty information
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. In rare cases, such as severely damaged locks or previously tampered immobilisers, we will explain the options, risks, and costs clearly before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a Dacia key or key card without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Dacia key or key card even if you’ve lost the original. Using your vehicle details and dealer-level tools, we retrieve or program the necessary security data and cut the blade to code if needed.
My Dacia says “Key Card Not Detected”. Can you fix this?
We deal with this daily. We diagnose whether it’s a key card fault, dead battery, antenna ring/reader issue, or immobiliser sync problem, then repair or program accordingly. If the card is faulty, we can provide a replacement card and pair it to your Dacia.
Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as precise lock-picking and specialist airbags/rods that protect seals and paint. In rare situations (e.g., severely damaged or modified locks), we’ll explain options before proceeding.
How long does Dacia key replacement take?
Most replacements and programming can be completed during a single mobile visit. Timing depends on model, key type (traditional key vs. key card), and whether EEPROM/immobiliser work is required. We aim to complete work efficiently the same day wherever feasible.
Is it cheaper than going to a Dacia dealer?
In many cases, yes. As a mobile service, we save you towing costs and long wait times, and we can often complete programming faster than a dealer. For a precise figure, please contact us for a free quote. See our guide to auto locksmith prices in Twickenham.
