Oh God. I'd almost forgotten how hilariously bad the key was too.

Didn't Renault basically launch 'keyless' with this exact key over a decade ago, and just decide to stop developing it there and then?

I'd forgotten both about this thread (and the associated horror of that hire car), and how hilariously bad that Peugeot steering wheel placement is.

For balance, we were given a Ssangyong hire car in Costa Rica a few weeks ago, which was a step up from the awful Renault in every respect other than space.
