Transponder Keys

Many of today's cars come with a transponder chip in the key, which transmits an encoded signal that lines with your car's anti theft system. This helps make sure that only the person with the right code can start your car, thereby protecting it from thieves. It's an easy but effective method to stop thieves. This is why you must always have a spare set of keys in the event that you lose yours.

A regular transponder key is an ordinary car key made of metal but it has an aluminum top, on which the transponder is placed. They come in three different styles: a standard lock key as well as a Remote Head Key (RHK) and a Tibbe. You can also add a transponder the key fob. This can increase security.

When you insert a Renault transponder key into the ignition, it starts up when it receives electromagnetic energy from a coil placed around the ignition barrel. The chip sends an electrical signal that matches the anti-theft codes of the car to the engine control unit, reprogrammed and when it's in agreement the car will begin to begin.

This technology won't stop car thieves, whether new or old-school from stealing vehicles, but it makes it harder for them to start their vehicle since they'll need to use a "hot wire device' to start the car.

Anti-Theft Chips

Certain older Renault models have a key card that looks quite different from the traditional car key. The card is slotted into a panel's dash, and it is activated by pressing a button to start the car.

They also keep important data, such as the serial number of the car, registration along with the vehicle's mileage, equipment, and even tire pressure. Even though smartphones are nearing the point of replacing them, the hands-free card is still found in nearly three out of Renault vehicles.

The card is similar to a credit card and is slotted into a Renault dash panel reader to unlock the car and start the engine.

Remote Fobs

Key fobs are small electronic device that lets you unlock your car without the physical key. It also acts as an remote control for other things, like the garage door or home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, similar to the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a message to a receiver inside your vehicle or other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals the appropriate action to perform.

Modern car key fobs employ radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer receives a signal from the keyfob and seeks an appropriate code to match one that has been preprogrammed. When the code is matched it will open the door or start the engine.

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

While the convenience of a car's key fob is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay attention. A CR auto reporter once went to her car parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. The key fob emits an indication that triggers the auto windows.

Besides keeping an eye on the battery, you must ensure that your key fob is in an easy view of its buttons as well as a secure connection to your car's onboard computer. A broken or disconnected key fob may transmit a incorrect signal, resulting in a malfunction like an overheated engine or uncontrolled window-lowering.

It's a good idea keep spare keys handy in case your key fob is depleted of power or gets damaged. It's also a good idea to replace the battery periodically to avoid losing its charge too fast. Generally speaking, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob in a hardware store or a big-box retailer. You can find instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual, or on the website of the manufacturer.
