Renault key cards are tiny electronic devices that perform a variety of things besides unlocking doors and launching the engine. They can store data and act as a 'car passport'.

The history and evolution of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is one of those inventions that have changed how people use cars. The hands-free card is a small device, smaller than the standard credit card that has revolutionized how we drive to unlock our car, get in to change the music and even the temperature. This is the story of how a little object brought great changes, and how it is constantly evolving to meet changing needs.

The first hands-free device from Renault was introduced in 2001. It was developed as an improved alternative to the traditional key. It was believed to offer greater safety and comfort when in use, aswell as reducing time spent in the workshop as it allows technicians to monitor the status of their car 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. The car will detect the card and transmit an access code in the event that it is present. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range it will periodically call the card to determine if it still has an access code. This can be as short as 80 milliseconds.

However, the system was not without glitches. Some customers were unable to wash their cards. If the card was placed in your trouser pocket, it is easy to accidentally rest your hand on it. This could cause it to be removed from the system.

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

This second generation of the hands-free card was incorporated into Laguna II and Clio IV. It was a step forward in improving the quality of Laguna II, which went to be awarded five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. It was also used in the third generation Clio. The model was bigger and more spacious, and equipped with features that appealed to young drivers.

The hands-free card in the Espace V

Renault's Douai factory has been working hard to develop new procedures to ensure the highest quality for its customers. This has allowed craftspeople to re-evaluate their abilities. They now benefit, for example from a method called full kitting. This ensures that each technician is equipped with components needed to repair the vehicle they are working on.

The simple plastic case of the hands-free device conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed so that it constantly 'communicates' with the vehicle with which it is linked. If the driver approaches the vehicle, it 'pings' it and emits an authentication signal. If the card responds positively, it immediately unlocks the doors.

It also enables the seats to fold away either as a complete unit with a single click. It is simple to use, like dominoes. It is also compatible with the headrests in place. The seats disappear into the floor leaving behind a space ideal for luggage.

The Espace V is not only unique in its seating, but also features a range of clever storage solutions. A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox opposite the front seat into a huge storage space with a capacity of 12 litres that is stylish and easy to access. The same principle applies to the center console, which features an enormous compartment that houses the hands-free card as well as the mobile phone.

Despite the fact that smartphones seem to be on the verge of replacing the hands-free card, renault car keys has decided to not let it disappear into history. This is because the card accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can be used even in bad weather. It is also less susceptible to hacking. It uses a unique code that only the vehicle is able to know. The hands-free card is available on all Renault models, including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

The hands-free card is offered in the Laguna II

This tiny device that is less than a credit card, has revolutionised how we use cars. The hands-free cards has become a symbol of Renault and is among its most innovative products.

Behind the hands-free card's minimalist plastic case is an intricate electronic core. It is programmed so that it is constantly communicating with the vehicle with which it is linked. The card emits an access code every time the car is in close proximity. The car will unlock the doors when it recognizes the card. The whole process is less than 80 milliseconds.

The cards that are free of charge also contain details about the serial number, registration, owner, the equipment and the mileage of the car. This can reduce the time in the workshop, if there is any issue. This also means that the mechanic is able to identify the problem by simply reviewing the information on the hands-free card.

Hands-free cards can be prone to problems and some can be very serious. The memory of the hands-free card could be lost if a car is not driven for a long time. This will stop it from opening the door locks and starting the engine. The ignition key also won't function. The hand-free card can be reset to correct the issues but it cannot stop future problems.

Another common issue with the hands-free cards is a absence of buttons. Many drivers tend to forget to lock or unlock doors when they put the card in their pocket, which can be irritating when they need to leave their car without using their hands. It is possible to solve this issue by programming a second button on the card that allows hands-free operation, but it can be difficult to find a compatible card at a reasonable cost.

Renault has enhanced the durability of their hands-free cards. Renault Megane, Renault Laguna and the brand new Renault Megane have cards that are much more resistant to damage. However, there are still people who have Renault hands free cards which no longer work correctly. If yours isn't working, it's worth giving us a phone call as we can program and supply the replacement for you.

Clio's hands-free hand-free card

In the years that have been since, renault car key have worked hard to improve their hands-free cards both in terms of its appearance as well as the technology inside. The cards are so simple to use that even young drivers do not have any issues using them. The most recent models are better at detecting a driver's presence. They have more efficient aerials that are able to detect the presence of the card holder, regardless of the 360-degree area around the car. They also have a welcome routine that kicks in when the car detects the card approaching. The flush door handles are usually hidden in the body of the car - then pop out and the cover for the charging port is automatically unlocked.

The card will contact the vehicle when it's close enough. The car then checks the code and if the code is found to match, it unlocks the vehicle and closes the doors and boot. The entire process takes 80 milliseconds - faster than the blink of an eye. If the card is then removed from the area of the vehicle the computer onboard continues to ping the card at intervals to check if it remains in the vicinity. If the card does not respond then the doors and boot are locked again.

A number of other functions can also be triggered by the presence of the hands-free card, such as locking the doors, activating the horn and lights, and lower the windows. The card also stores details like the serial number, registration details, owner's details, equipment and mileage. It's a bit like the car's passport.

While the Renault hands-free card is a safe and convenient way to control the car's systems, it should never be kept in the presence of animals or children, since they could pose a danger risk by initiating the engine or activating devices such as the electronic windows. The hands-free card shouldn't be left in humid, hot or cold conditions because it could damage the circuitry.
