Good morning,

Are the tools to remove the battery included in the Clio by default or do you have to buy them?

Thanks in advance

To avoid this, a small 9V battery like those used in some radios or children's toys, solder a red wire to the +, a black wire to the -, two small crocodile clips that can be found at Castorama or auto centers, place the assembly on the battery cables that we are going to disconnect and voila, we preserve the car radio code or the coding of the ignition key.

Thank you for your work, but you are silent about the loss of the car radio code (I own a Clio 2 Privilege from 2002)

yes indeed, but as I don't have an original car radio I didn't have this problem ;)
