Is anyone else experiencing the keycards failing both with unlocking the car and being recognised in the card slot when starting the car. We have been stranded multiple times now and changing batteries weekly seems to be the only solution but that only lasts a couple of days?
Any solutions welcome as this car is simoply unusable at present.

I'd be ringing your local dealer asap if the car is unusable.
You shouldn't be replacing batteries on a weekly basis.

By way of update, I would urge everyone NOT to use a Faraday pouch for their Renault keycard if they are experiencing funky behaviour from it. We have stopped using our pouch and in 3 weeks have had no incidencies whatsoever of the key malfunctioning or eating through a battery in 3 days.

Strange - I keep mine in a Faraday Pouch and have no issues (01/10/23 to 23/01/24).
