The origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is a revolutionary invention that has revolutionized how people use their cars. The hands-free card is a compact device, about the size of a credit card of the same size, which has revolutionized the way we drive to unlock our car, get in to change the music and even the temperature. This is the story of how this tiny object has brought huge changes and is constantly evolving to meet new needs.

The first hands-free device from Renault was introduced in 2001. It was designed to be an alternative to the traditional key. It was claimed to provide greater security and comfort when utilized, and also less time spent in a shop by allowing technicians check the status of the 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. If the card is present, the car recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This activates the immobiliser and opens the doors. If the card is no longer in range it will ping it on a regular basis to see whether it still has the access code. this could take only 80 milliseconds, or less than the blink of an eye.

However, the system had its imperfections. Some customers found it difficult to wash their cards. If the card was left in your trouser pocket, it is easy to accidentally be seated on it. This can cause it to be deactivated.

To address these issues, the Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to the bottom" to ensure it was watertight. They also added an additional layer of security to protect against unintentional locking The card was fitted with a microswitch that activated and deactivated the immobiliser as soon as it was able to leave the vehicle.

The second generation of hands-free card was incorporated into Laguna II and Clio IV. It helped to further improve 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 were appealing to young drivers.

In order to ensure its customers the highest standard of quality, the Renault Douai plant has worked to implement new processes. This has allowed the craftsmen to review their abilities. They now benefit, for example from a process known as full kitting. This guarantees that each technician is equipped with a set of parts corresponding to the specific specifications of the vehicle for which they are working.

The simple plastic case conceals a sophisticated electronic core. It is programmed to continuously 'communicate' with the car it is linked to. When a driver is near the vehicle it 'pings' it and emits an indication of verification. If the card responds positively, it instantly unlocks the doors.

It also enables the seats to fold away in a single or complete unit with a single push of a button. The system is easy to use, much like dominos. It works even when the headrests are in place. The seats disappear into the floor, leaving a space that is ideal for transporting luggage.

The Espace V is not only innovative in its seating design, but also has a number clever storage solutions. Opposite the front seat passenger the practical 'renault key card replacement Easy Life drawer' transforms the glove box into a 12 litre large-capacity storage solution that is attractive and accessible. The same principle is applied to the center console, which offers 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 has decided not to let it go to the back of the pack. The card accessory is far superior to its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used even in severe weather. It is also less susceptible to hacking. It is a secure code that only the vehicle is able to be aware of. The hands-free card is available for all Renault models including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

The simple plastic case is an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to ensure that it constantly 'communicates' with the car to which it is paired. The card emits an access code whenever the car is in close proximity. The car will then open the doors if it recognizes the card. The entire process takes less than 80 milliseconds.

The card can also store information on the car's serial number and registration, owner, its equipment and mileage. This helps reduce the time spent in the workshop, should there is an issue. The mechanic can also pinpoint the problem simply by reading the data on an unidirectional card.

As with any electronic component, the hands-free card is susceptible to issues and some of them can be quite serious. If the car is not driven for a long amount of time, the card could lose its memory, resulting in it not being able to unlock the door locks or start up the engine. The ignition key will also no longer work. The hand-free card can be reset to correct these problems, but it will not prevent future problems.

The absence of buttons is a common problem with hands-free cards. Many drivers tend to forget to lock or unlock doors when they put the card in their pockets, which can be annoying when they want to leave their vehicle without using their hands.

The most recent models are better at detecting a driver's presence. The aerials are more effective and can detect the card holder anywhere in the vicinity of the car. Additionally, they come with an initiation sequence that activates when the car senses the card approaching the vehicle. The handles on the flush doors - normally hidden in the body of the car will then open and the charging port cover automatically unlocks.

If the card is close enough to the vehicle, it pings the vehicle with an access code. The car then scans the code and if it matches the car is able to unlock and the doors and boot shut. This all happens in 80 milliseconds - faster than a blink of an eye. The computer on board will continue to ping the chip at regular intervals if the card is removed from the car. If the card doesn't respond, the boot and doors are locked once more.
