Immobilisers

Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven without the correct key. Since 1998, they're required in the UK for all new cars. They are embedded into the keys or fobs of your car. When the key is pressed the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code does not match, the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine and allow the car to go away.

This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key, and then transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it will start. This technology has decreased car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you've got the technology installed.

The immobiliser system is usually hidden within the head of your car key. It comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the chip and sends a signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using the use of a key that is programmed or by taking the chip off the key.

The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied by special devices. Modern versions employ rolling or changing codes, which can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has increased the effectiveness of these systems, and it is important that only certified professionals from Thatcham Research install these anti-theft devices.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a popular feature in Renault's range of cars. The small device can be used to unlock and start the vehicle and also allow drivers to control a variety of other functions, like the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key even when the driver isn't driving. The concept behind the hands-free card dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how easy it was to lock his room with the use of a magnetic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature on renault clio spare key's vehicles.

You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's center console to make use of the hands-free card. The reader and key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has had a long-standing 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 time that a automobile manufacturer could offer such a feature to its customers, and it changed the way that drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of automobiles, and it is now one of the most widely used features of every car that is in the market in the present.

How does it work? The key card itself contains an extremely tiny microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is done using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key can also transmit its own identification code that is used to communicate with the immobiliser of the car.

The chip inside the key recognizes the moment you press the button on the remote and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault a highly technologically advanced piece of equipment.

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 be the modern-day car of the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could create keys that would secure the vehicle and then start it by simply pressing it.

The key consists of an outer casing (usually black), buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and an aluminum blade. The key case can be replaced by a the new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient solution if your key has been seriously damaged, like if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If you do have a brand new key and it doesn't start your car it could be because the immobiliser isn't transferred over. To test, hold the old key close to the new one. The car should be able to start.
