Renault key cards are electronic devices that perform more than just unlock doors and start the engine. They can store information and act as an 'auto-passport'.

The development and origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is an invention that has revolutionized the way people use their vehicles. A tiny device - not much bigger than a credit card - which has revolutionised the way we drive, unlock and enter the car, change the lighting, the music and even the temperature. This is the story about how a small device has led to major changes and constantly evolves to meet the demands of new generations.

The first hands-free device from renault keys was introduced in 2001. It was designed as a smarter alternative to the traditional key. It was believed to offer more comfort and security when in use, aswell being able to reduce time spent in the workshop, by allowing technicians to monitor car status remotely.

To do this, it emits a radio signal when the driver approaches the car, which is detected by receiver-transmitters located throughout the vehicle. If the card is present, the car identifies it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is not in range, the system will periodically check whether it has an access code. This could take as little as milliseconds.

But the system was not without its imperfections. Some customers found that washing the cards an absolute hassle. If the card was left in a trouser's pocket, it was possible to accidentally be sat on, which caused it to be deactivated or locked in error.

To address these issues, Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom", to ensure that it was watertight. They added an additional layer to prevent accidental lockouts. The card contained a microswitch which activated or deactivated the immobiliser if it came into contact with or left a car.

The second generation hands-free card is added to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It further improved the quality of Laguna II, which went on to receive a five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. It was also used in the third generation Clio. This model was bigger and more spacious, and was equipped with features that appealed to young drivers.

The Espace V comes with a hands-free card

In order to ensure its customers the best level of quality, Renault's Douai plant has worked to establish new processes. This work has also enabled craftspeople to look afresh at their skills. For example, they now benefit from a method known as full kitting. This ensures that each technician is equipped with components needed to repair the vehicle they work on.

The minimalist plastic case of the hands-free device conceals a sophisticated electronics core. It is programmed to continually communicate with the vehicle it is connected to. If the driver approaches the vehicle, it 'pings' it and emits an authentication signal. If the card responds in a positive way it opens the door automatically.

It also enables the seats to fold down either as a whole unit - at a click. The system is simple to use, like dominoes. It can be used even with the headrests still in place. The seats disappear into the floor, leaving behind the space to transport luggage.

The Espace V is not only unique in its seating, but also features a range of clever storage solutions. To the left of the front passenger, a practical 'Renault Simple Life drawer' turns the glove box into a 12-litre large-capacity storage solution that is attractive and easy to access. The center console also features an enormous compartment that houses the hands-free card and a mobile.

Renault has chosen to keep hands-free card in its current form, despite the fact that smartphones are preparing to replace them. This is because the card accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can be used in bad weather. Another advantage is that it is less susceptible to hacking. It has a unique code that only the vehicle will be aware of. The hands-free card can be used with all Renault models, including the ZOE Clio Scenic Kadjar Megane.

The hands-free card can be found in the Laguna II

This tiny device that is no bigger than a credit card, has revolutionised how we use cars. The hands-free card has become an important symbol for Renault and is one of the most modern and innovative products of its time.

The simple plastic case of the hands-free device conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed so that it is constantly communicating with the car with which it's paired. The card emits an access code every time the car is in close proximity. If the car recognises it, it will open the doors. The entire process takes less than 80 milliseconds.

The card can also store details about the car's serial and registration, owner, equipment and mileage. This reduces the amount of time one will take to workshop in the event of a problem. This also means that the mechanic is able to determine the issue by reviewing the information on the hands-free card.

However, as with any electronic component, the hands-free card is susceptible to issues and some of them can be extremely grave. If the vehicle isn't driven for a long period of time, it may lose its memory, which results in it being unable to open the door or start the engine. The ignition key also won't function. The hand-free card can be reset to correct these problems but it cannot prevent future malfunctions.

Another common problem with the hands-free card is a lack of buttons. It is common for drivers to lock or unlock their doors accidentally by putting their card into their pockets. This can be annoying when they are trying to get out of their car without using their hands. It is possible to fix this problem by creating a second button on the card that allows hands-free operation, but it isn't easy to find a compatible card at a reasonable price.

Renault have recently changed the design of their hands free cards to ensure they are more durable. The new Renault Megane and Renault Laguna have a card which is much more resistant to being damaged. However, there are people who have Renault hands-free cards that are no longer working correctly.

Clio's hands-free hand-free card

Renault has been working hard in the years since to improve the hands-free card in terms of its appearance and the technology within. Their efforts have paid off, as the cards are now so user friendly that even younger drivers are able to use them without difficulty. The latest models are more efficient at detecting the presence of drivers. They have more effective aerials which are able to detect the location of the card holder no matter the 360 degree area around the car. They also have a welcome routine that kicks in when the car senses the card's proximity. The handles on the flush doors are typically concealed within the car body - then pop out and the charging port cover opens automatically.

When the card is in close proximity to the vehicle, it sends a ping to the vehicle with an access code. The car then examines the code and, if it matches, the vehicle unlocks and the doors and boot are shut. The whole process takes just 80 milliseconds, which is faster than the blink of an eye. The on-board computer will continue to ping the chip at regular intervals when the card is moved away from the car. If the card doesn't respond, the doors and boot are locked again.

The presence of the hands free card can also provide a range of additional features, including locking doors, activating the horn, lights, and lower windows. The card also stores details such as the serial number of the vehicle, registration information, the details of the owner, equipment and mileage, which makes it a kind of 'car passport'.

While the Renault hands-free card is a convenient and secure way to control the car's systems but it should never be placed in the vicinity of animals or children since they could pose a security risk by activating the engine or devices like the electronic windows. Similarly, the hands-free card should not be placed in hot, cold or humid conditions as it can damage its circuitry.
