If your existing key is cracked or the buttons have perished, we can often re-shell and reprogram your electronics, saving you money versus a full replacement.
Security, Immobilisers, and Diagnostics
Dacia models use immobiliser systems that communicate with a transponder chip in your key. If the car does not “recognise” the chip, it will not start. Our dealer-level tools interface with your vehicle’s ECU via the OBD2 port to:
- Add new keys and fobs
- Delete lost or stolen keys for security
- Re-sync keys after battery failures
- Diagnose immobiliser and central locking faults
For certain models or scenarios (e.g., all keys lost with locked ECU), we use advanced EEPROM programming to securely read and write immobiliser data, enabling new keys to be created on-site without towing to a dealer.
If you’ve experienced theft or suspect a cloned key, ask about re-keying options and key deletion to protect your Dacia.
Dacia Vans and Commercial Vehicles
Running a Dacia commercial vehicle or fleet? We support:
- Dacia Dokker (imports and UK fleets)
- Commercial conversions of Duster or Sandero for specialist use
Services include spare key strategies for drivers, rapid roadside replacement to minimise downtime, and on-site programming for multiple vehicles. For larger fleets, we can schedule coverage across multiple SW locations in one visit.
Helpful Tips for Dacia Owners
- Keep a spare: A programmed spare key costs less than emergency replacement and reduces disruption.
- Look after fob batteries: Weak batteries cause intermittent locking and false immobiliser warnings. We can replace batteries and re-sync.
- Avoid water damage: Water ingress can corrode fob circuitry. If it gets wet, dry and call us for inspection before it fails.
- Don’t force a stiff lock: Forcing may snap the key. We can lubricate and repair the lock cylinder or cut a fresh blade.
- After a loss or theft: We can delete the missing key from your Dacia’s system and supply a replacement, restoring security.

FAQs: Dacia Keys and Locks
Can you make a new Dacia key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Dacia key from your vehicle using dealer-level tools. We access immobiliser data via OBD2 and, if needed, EEPROM methods. No towing to a dealer is required in most cases.
Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception is necessary (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain the method and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does Dacia key programming take?
Most Dacia keys can be cut and programmed roadside within a single visit. The time depends on model, year, and whether all keys are lost or we’re adding a spare. We’ll give an estimated timescale when you call.
My Dacia shows a key symbol and won’t start. Can you help?
Yes. That warning often indicates an immobiliser or transponder issue. We’ll run diagnostics, re-sync or program a key, and check for central locking faults that may be related.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance across South West London with availability outside standard hours. If you’re stuck now, please Call 020 4634 1979.
Can you disable a lost or stolen Dacia key?
We can delete missing keys from your car’s system so they no longer start the vehicle, then supply and program secure replacements.
