Transponder Keys

This ensures only those who have the correct code are able to start your car, thus safeguarding it from thieves. It's an easy but effective method to stop thieves. This is why you should always have a spare set of keys in the event that you lose yours.

A standard transponder will appear like a car key made of steel however the top of it is made of plastic. This is where the transponder lives. They are available in three cut styles: a standard lock key and a remote head key (RHK) and the Tibbe key. There's also the possibility of having a transponder chip built into the key fob to provide additional security.

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

Remote Fobs

A key fob is a small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without keys that are physically present. It also functions as an additional remote control for things, like the garage door, or a home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to the remote-control toys' transmitters. When you hit the fob's button it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate action to take.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the keyfob, and searches for a code that matches one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is found to match the system opens the door or starts the engine.

The technology is also being used in other kinds of vehicles, such as airplanes, trucks, tractors, buses/coaches and tanks. Numerous manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors and start the engine at a push of a button.

The convenience of a key fob may be dangerous, if you're not paying attention. A CR auto reporter once walked past her car parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. This is because the key fob was sending an alert to activate the auto windows.

You shouldn't just keep an eye on your battery, but also make sure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of your car safely. A loose or disconnected key fob may send the wrong signal, which can lead to problems like an overheated engine or an uncontrolled lowering of the window.

It's a good idea to keep spare keys handy in case your key fob is depleted of power or becomes damaged. It's also an ideal idea to replace the battery regularly to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. Generally speaking, you can find the right battery for your key fob at a hardware store or a big-box retailer. The owner's manual or manufacturer's site should provide instructions on how to replace the battery.
