Transponder Chips

Renault offers a range of keys locks and immobilisers. The latest systems, which were introduced in 2000, include transponder chips. These are tiny mini circuits that are embedded into the key.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car from being hot-wired or driven away without the correct key. They've been required in the UK on all new vehicles since 1998 and are included in the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is activated, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code isn't the identical then the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine and drive away the vehicle.

This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment that copies the signal generated by your key and transmits it to the ECU of the vehicle so that it can start. This technology has cut down on car thefts by a significant amount since it is difficult to steal a car equipped with this technology. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed.

The immobiliser is typically located inside the head of your car keys and is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is put into the ignition barrel. A coil that is inserted around the barrel reads the microchip and sends a message to the ECU. This signal can only be removed with a programmed or removed key.

The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied using special devices. Modern versions employ rolling or changing codes that can only be duplicated by the appropriate technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the systems and is why it is important to only install these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card has become an integral feature of Renault's range of cars. This small gadget is used to unlock the vehicle and then start it however it also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It could even replace a traditional key when the driver isn't driving. The idea behind the hands-free card dates to 2001 when Renault was making preparations to launch their Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how easy it was to lock the room using an electronic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's vehicles.

You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's center console to be able to use the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long had a reputation for innovation. They produced the first 'hands-free card', which is a small device that allows you to unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first time a manufacturer of a car could offer such a feature to its customers, and it revolutionised the way that drivers drove. Its design made it easier to get into and out of automobiles. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today.

What exactly is it? The key card has an internal microprocessor which must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done by using an instrument that is specifically designed for this purpose, such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which is used for communication with the immobiliser system of the car.

The chip in the key is able to detect the moment you press the button on the remote and instructs the vehicle to respond the same way. This could range from opening doors, changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who designed the 'hands free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was believed to be the modern-day car of the 21st century. He was in an hotel when he attempted to use the keys for his room and realised that it was possible to design keys that lock and start the car just by touching it.

The key consists of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as an aluminum key blade. The key case can be replaced by a the new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is easy to do and is a great option if the key has had some serious damage, like when the buttons have fallen off or worn away. If you have a new key but it does not start your car, this is probably because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key in place with the new one and the car should begin.
