Transponder Chips

Renault has a variety of different systems when it comes to their key locks and immobilisers and the latest models starting in 2000 have transponder chips. These are tiny circuits that are embedded into the key. They send signals to the computer system of the vehicle. If the signal isn't received the engine won't begin. This is a great security measure to ensure that your vehicle isn't stolen and you are the only one who can start it.

A replacement key that comes with chip is a bit more expensive than a regular key. This is due to the additional manufacturing costs that are associated with the micro-circuit.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car being hot-wired or driven away without the proper key. Since 1998, they have been mandatory in the UK for all new vehicles. They are embedded into the keys or fobs of your car. When the key is pressed it sends a code to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code isn't the same then the ECU disables some components required to start the engine and drive away the car.

This is a way to stop criminals from using devices that copy the signal emitted from your key and transmits it to the ECU of the vehicle in order to enable it to start. This technology has cut down on the number of car thefts dramatically since it is very difficult to steal a car with this technology installed. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums when you have the technology installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually concealed within the head of your car keys and comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is put into the ignition barrel. A coil that is inserted around the barrel reads the microchip and sends an information to the ECU. This signal is only deactivated with a programmed or removed key.

Some early Renault models had static codes that could be copied by special devices, but the most recent versions have been updated to use changing or rolling security codes which can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is important to only install these kinds of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card has become an increasingly popular feature in Renault's cars. The small device is used to open the vehicle and then start it, but also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It is even able to replace a traditional key when the driver isn't in the car. The hands-free card was initially created in 2001, when Renault prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how simple it was to lock his room with a magnetic card. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's automobiles.

You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's central console to use the hands-free card. The reader and the key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG software available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. They invented the first hands-free card' - a small device that allows you to unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first technology that an auto manufacturer could offer to customers and revolutionised the way that people drive. Its design made it simple to get into and out of cars. It is one of the most popular features of a car today.

How does it function? The key card is a microprocessor that must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which allows it to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip inside the key detects this and informs the car to respond the same way. This can be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault a very intelligent piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands-free card'. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could make a key which would unlock and start the car by just touching it.

The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a an alternative key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient solution for keys that have been seriously damaged, like if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If you have a brand new key but it does not start your car, it is most likely due to the fact that the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, place your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should be able to start.
