Renault Clio Key Replacement

Renault key replacement can be expensive when you don't shop around. Motors has contacted a few companies who quoted prices as high as EUR500 for a basic replacement key fob.

You can have your keys coded and replaced by a local locksmith instead of paying the high price at the Renault dealer. This is a faster and less expensive option.

Transponder Keys

Most modern vehicles have a transponder chip inside the key that sends out an encoded signal that lines to your car's anti-theft system. This ensures that only people who have the correct code are able to start your car, thereby protecting it against thieves. It's a simple, but effective way of deterring potential thieves. It's also one of the reasons why it's important to have a working spare for the event of losing your car keys.

A normal transponder can look like a metal car key but the top is plastic. This is where the transponder is. They are available in three different designs: a standard-lock key, the Remote Head Key (RHK) and Tibbe. There's also the option of having a transponder chip built into the key fob to provide added security.

When you insert the Renault transponder into the ignition, the key is able to receive electromagnetic energy from the coil surrounding the ignition barrel. The chip sends an anti-theft signal that includes the code of the vehicle to the engine control unit. If it matches, the vehicle will begin.

This technology does not stop novice or old school car thieves from stealing cars, however it makes starting a car more difficult for them because they'll have to use a device called a 'hot wire' to get the vehicle to begin.

Transponder keys may be more expensive than regular metal keys, but they're worth the investment because they shield your vehicle from theft. In addition to providing an extra layer of security, they're also much harder to duplicate than standard metal keys.

Anti-Theft Chips

Renault cars are fitted with an immobiliser system that will prevent the car starting if the correct key isn't used. The majority of Renault keys contain a transponder chip that can only be programmed to the car it is attached to, and when the key is put into the ignition the chip gives off an electrical signal that is detected by the cars immobiliser and the ECU that then disables the engine preventing the theft of your vehicle.

Certain older Renault models come with keys that look different from traditional car keys. The card is inserted into the dash panel reader and a button pressed to start the car.

The card appears like it's a credit card and is inserted into the Renault dash panel reader to allow you to start and unlock the car.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without a physical key. It can also function as an additional remote for other devices, like the garage door opener, or the home security system. Key fobs operate by using radio frequencies. They are similar to remote control toys' transmitters. When you press a button on the fob, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and signals what to do.

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer interprets the signal from the key fob, and looks for a specific code that matches a preprogrammed one. Once the code has been found, the system will open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also being utilized in other kinds of vehicles, such as trucks, tractors, airplanes buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system in their cars. This makes it much easier to start the engine or open doors with just a push of a button.

The convenience of a key fob could be risky if you're not paying attention. For instance the owner of a CR auto editor once walked by her car parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. That's because the key fob had sent an indication to turn on the auto windows.

You shouldn't just keep an eye on your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of the car securely. A disconnected or loose remote can send the incorrect signal, leading to malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or a window that is not controlled.

It's a good idea to keep spare keys handy in case your key fob runs out of power or becomes damaged. It's also a good idea to replace the battery on a regular basis to avoid losing its charge too fast. In general, you can purchase the right battery for your remote from an online retailer or hardware stores. There are instructions for replacing the battery in the owner's manual, or on the website of the manufacturer.
