You must copy the certificates on the key using the software (IDX-SCM). To download
the software, open your navigator and enter the following address:
https://mdx.dcs.renault.com/mdx
If your garage uses a proxy for its Internet connection, indicate this in the IDX-SCM
software (configuration button).

3.2 New user

Below are all the steps to be implemented to initialise a key:


 You receive your blank key in your dealership together with your IPN (Identification
Personal Number) and a password.
 Download and install the IDX-SCM software enabling you to read and write on the
card from the address https://mdx.dcs.renault.com/mdx/
 Execute the IDX-SCM software:
 Connect the card or key to the workstation
 Enter your IPN and the password communicated by Renault.

The certificate is then copied onto the user's card.

 Select a new password for the card or key in compliance with the security rules
defined for setting the password (6 characters, including at least 3 of the following

electronic certificate (reprogramming and automatic configuration). To do this:
 The user inserts his/her key in the USB port and enters the password corresponding
to the key when s/he launches either the reprogramming module or the automatic
configuration module (you can also wait for the different applications to ask to you
to insert the key with the Renault electronic certificate).
 - The user enters the password corresponding to the key

The card or key must remain inserted in the workstation for the user to be able to work

5. What to do in the following cases?

5.1 The key does not work

Always check that the key is correctly inserted in the USB port.

partner will send you an unlocking code. Launch IDX-SCM, select the "unlock card and
change PIN code" option and enter the unlocking code.

password or if, for other valid reasons, you think that it is necessary to change your
password. Follow the same procedure as in section 5.2.2 "How to unlock your key"
Launch IDX-SCM, select the "change password" option.
