Possibly - check with dealer

Yes, your dealer can definitely help you. What I'm about to tell you won't make your local locksmith happy. Your V.I.N. # has all the info you need to get your ingition, trunk/door keys made, however, there is still a losing side to this. If you have a newer car that requires a programmed key, it might just be cheaper to have a locksmith come and open your car. Those computer chip keys can get close to $100 on early model cars. Anyways, back to the V.I.N. #

Take the title or a registration (to show that you really own the car) and your driver's license (to prove that you are you hehehe) to your dealer and he can jump on his little computer and pull you key info up and grind you a key right there. If you bought the car in used condition, pre-owned, or gently loved from from a used car dealer then you will have to find the factory dealer in your neighborhood because a lot of the smaller car dealers don't make keys.

P.S. I did this when I lost the keys to my '92 Ford Escort and, instead of $60 for a weekend locksmith, it only cost me $5 and a ride from a buddy.

How do you get a replacement Renault grand scenic card key?

The best way is to buy one from a main stealers - when ours went we found it cheaper & easier to pay the £150 for a brand new one, they also cut the emergency key in the price. You can get cheaper cards from eBay etc but the problems start with finding an auto locksmith with the right equipment to program it for your car. Shop around the main dealers though as we found the price varied by almost £30 depending on who wanted the sale most.
