Common Dacia Key And Immobiliser Questions
Can you make a Dacia key without the original?
Yes. We can create and programme a new Dacia key even if you’ve lost the only one. We verify ownership, then cut and code a replacement using OBD2 or EEPROM methods depending on model and system.
Do you programme Dacia smart keys and keyless entry fobs?
Absolutely. We supply and programme proximity smart keys for Duster, Sandero Stepway, Jogger and more. We test “key not detected” faults and re-sync the immobiliser where necessary.
Will unlocking my Dacia damage the car?
We use non-destructive entry techniques in the vast majority of cases. If your lock is already damaged or previous attempts have caused issues, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
My Dacia key fob has stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?
Not always. We’ll check the battery, buttons, and circuit board. In some cases, repair or re-soldering can help; otherwise we can replace and programme a new fob.
How long does Dacia key replacement take?
Many jobs are completed during a single mobile visit. Simple replacements may be finished within one appointment; complex immobiliser cases take longer due to EEPROM or module work. We’ll outline timings when you call.
Is it cheaper to use a locksmith than a Dacia main dealer?
Often, yes—especially for lost keys. We come to you, saving towing and wait times. For a personalised estimate without guesswork, see our guide to auto locksmith prices in Dartford or request a quote.
