Transponder Chips

Renault offers a variety of keys locks and immobilisers. The latest systems, beginning in 2000, include transponder chips. These are tiny circuits embedded in the key. They send signals to the computer system in the car. If the signal isn't received the engine won't be able to start. This is an excellent security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not stolen and only you are capable of starting it.

A replacement key that has transponder chips is a bit more expensive than the basic non-transponder keys, this is due to the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit within the key, but this doesn't mean you are going to spend an arm and a leg. You can find a locksmith who can make a replacement key with a transponder chip at a much more affordable price than you would be paying at the dealership.

Many Renault owners who lose their keys or key cards think that the only way to get them back is to visit their dealer. This could be a lengthy process and you might be waiting long to receive your new key. Instead, you can speak to a locksmith who can create a replacement Renault key at a much lower cost and in a fraction of the time it takes for a dealership to do so.

Keys and keycards may be damaged or fail. This is usually caused by the internal workings of the card being bent and then cracked over time. They are repaired by certain Renault key card repairers, however this is only an interim fix and the card will likely fail again in the future. A professional locksmith can remove the chip from your old key and use laptop software to program a new key to your Renault car. This will allow your remote to function again and allow you to start your vehicle as normal. This will also keep your car safe against theft since only right keys will activate the ignition immobiliser.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are built into your car's keys or fobs. When the key is pressed, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code does not match, the ECU disables certain components that are needed to run the engine and allow the car to go away.

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 car so that it can start. This has significantly reduced car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal vehicles that have this technology, which is why insurance companies will typically offer discounts on your premium when it is installed.

The immobiliser is typically hidden in the head of the car key. It is a microchip which is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the microchip, and then sends an information to the ECU. This signal can only be removed by removing or programming a key.

A few early Renault models used static codes that could be copied using special devices, however more recent versions have been upgraded to use changing or rolling security codes that can only be duplicated using the right technology. This has increased the effectiveness of these systems and it is crucial that only Thatcham Research-approved professionals install these devices to prevent theft.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a crucial component of Renault's popular line of cars. The tiny device can be used to unlock and start the vehicle, but it also allows drivers to control other functions, including the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key when the driver is not driving. The hands-free cards were first conceived in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using the use of a magnet 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 center console to use the hands-free card. The reader and key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programmes available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has had a long-standing reputation for its ingenuity. It was the first company to create a 'hands-free card', a small device that allows you to unlock your car and start it without even touching the handle. It was the first such technology that a car manufacturer could offer to its customers and revolutionised the way people drive. Its design made it easy to get in and out of cars. It is one of the most popular features of cars today.

How does it work? The key card contains an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific tool like the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the vehicle.

When you press a button on the remote, the chip in the key recognises this and instructs the car to respond in the same way. This could be anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes renault car keys an extremely intelligent piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to embody the car that is a lifestyle vehicle of the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel when he attempted to use the keys in the room and realised that it would be possible to create a key that can lock and start the car just by touching it.

The key is made up of an outer casing (usually black), buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a a new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is simple to do and is a great option if the key has had some serious damage, for example when the buttons have fallen off or worn away. If you have a new key but it does not start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, simply hold the old key close to the new one and the car will begin.
