Clio Remote is not responding

Clio Remote is not responding. Are the remote controllers prone to fail or is it more likely some other issue please?

In my humble opinion, the Renault dealer is talking balderdash - all you're doing is putting new batteries in. However, even if he's correct, pairing takes no time at all. And yes, any replacement you buy will have to be paired.

May I humbly also suggest that if you pay £45 for a new unit, you'll be ripped off. An alternative, not exactly the same, but works pretty much as well, is the remote for the standalone GO920. This one is OK, but still expensive with the postage.

BUT DO BEWARE IF YOU BUY ONLINE. An earlier model is still available occasionally and it is wireless, not Bluetooth. You MUST have the Bluetooth one.

What sort of remote have you got? Does it look like this? If so, have you renewed the batteries?

Yes this is the remote and yes I have changed the batteries. Could it be the receiver in the dashboard I wonder?

According to my local Renault dealer if the batteries are out of the remote unit for several minutes the remote memory will be lost and the unit will need to be matched with the car again? Does anybody have any experience in such a thing please?

On balance if this is true then the replacements offered on e-bay will not work until they have been paired with the car, yes?

Got a friend of a friend who is going to lend me his some time soon. That may give me some positive direction. Thanks for the info this far. May have to call on you again if the saga continues. Thanks Keith

If the saga continues long enough, my 15 year old GO520 will die (it is quite ill at the moment) and you can have my remote!
