You have stated your car is 1999 Clio II
This will make it a PHASE 1 ( radio Ariel at front of roof )"
"Your car will have a BMT and not a UCH.
BMT and UCH are very different and share nothing in common.
CLIO II (phase II) 2001 on (Ariel at rear of roof) is a completely different immobilizer system.
The Reason you can find any functions for BMT on CLIP is because it was never there to start with.
BMT is on XR25 Only (Renaults diagnostic machine pre clip )
The chances of finding someone with a working XR25 is now very remote.
the choice is scrap it or modify the engine ECU with IMMO off or running a RPM module.
I Forget to say The info from Carl is for UCH, so not applicable for your car."
Thanks Darren for your reply.
Yes it is a phase one Clio and no I have no idea why the customer wants to spend in excess of £400 to fix it. I did mention in my first post that it was a BMT unit not UCH as I listed in my inital description.
The problem is that I'm now into £263 (including surcharge) of parts that are obviously non returnable. I'm committed to finding a solution to this problem.
My Clip talks to the BMT and there are programming options - no fault codes. All the options seem to be for programming new decoder, engine ECU etc but no mention of replacing the BMT its self. I feel sure there is simply some proceedure I'm missing here and as normal, lack of experience on this system and technical information has bitten me on the back side. Hence my post on here
