Chipped Keys

The Renault Clio is a supermini car that first came out in 1990 and is in production to this day. It is among the most sought-after cars in Europe and has been voted European Car of the Year twice. This is due to its capability to offer drivers convenience by permitting them to lock and start their car using only one key. A transponder chip is placed in the head of each key to ensure that only genuine Renault Clio can be used to unlock and start the vehicle. Beishir Lock and Security will replace your key at a fraction of the cost of a dealer it has been damaged, lost or stolen.

Transponder chips are tiny electronic microchips which are embedded in the head of a car key. They get their name from the fact that they are a transmitter and receiver. The transponder chip receives an radio signal from the antenna ring of the immobilizer after the key is turned on to the ignition lock. This chip then responds by sending back an encrypted message to the antenna ring which is then matched to the serial number that is stored in the car's immobilizer system and, if correct it allows the engine to start.

This is how modern Renault car is designed to work and is an important security feature to prevent thieves from using your key to start your car and then reselling it on the black market. The chips are not powered by batteries but instead are energized by radio signals they receive from the immobilizer.

Transponder keys are also sensitive to mechanical shocks and submersion in water, so care must be taken when using your key to avoid accidental damage. Dropping your key onto a surface or submerging in water can cause the chip to short circuit and the key will cease to function.

The cost of a renault key chip is more expensive than the basic non-transponder key. However, the extra manufacturing costs are worth it since they safeguard your car from theft. Some manufacturers don't require specialized equipment to program a new chip key however this is contingent upon the model and year of your vehicle. Some, such as Chevrolet and Ford have an electronic transponder that can be copied using an ordinary key programmer.

Key Cards

Renault key cards allow you to unlock the car and start the engine without needing to insert the key in the lock. The key card uses radio waves to communicate with the car's sensors. These are located all over the car to locate the card and when it is close enough, the doors will open. The car will also start the ignition when the button is pressed. These keys are very popular and easy to operate. However, they can be damaged and the card needs to be replaced if that happens.

The simple plastic case of the hands-free device is an advanced electronic chip that is programmed to constantly "communicate" with the vehicle with which it is connected. When it's approached, it emits a radio signal containing an access code that's verified by receiver-transmitters in the vehicle. If the code is recognized, the car unlocks and opens its doors automatically, and is locked when the card is moved away.

Having a spare Renault key card is essential in the event of losing your main one. It will allow you to continue driving the car while you wait for an alternate key fob or transponder chip to arrive. If you have lost your keys, it is recommended to look at every place where they are kept. Also, notify your insurance company as soon as you can so that they can find your vehicle.

There are companies that specialize in the replacement of Renault key cards in the event that you lose it or breaks. These experts can make an exact copy of your car key fob for much less than what it would cost to purchase from a dealer.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are devices to stop your car from starting if you use the wrong key code or if the vehicle is illegally started. Immobilisers have been required in vehicles since 1998 in England and Wales however they were installed prior to that. If you aren't sure whether your Renault has one, the easiest method to determine is asking a mechanic or visiting the website of your car's manufacturer and getting in touch with them.

The immobiliser system operates by sending an indication from the key to a reader in the dashboard. The reader reads the response sent back by the key. If the codes match, then the car will start. If the codes don't match, then the car will not start. It also disables two other functions. The most common are air conditioning.

If you have a more recent Renault key, it is likely that the key has a transponder chip in the head of it this means that the immobiliser system can only be activated by a genuine Renault key. If you own an old Renault key, you will have to replace it by a locksmith in order to stop thieves from stealing it for your vehicle.

However, it's worth noting that this system is not 100% secure and could be defeated by more sophisticated thieves. For example in 2014, a researcher named Bokslag cracked three different types of renault card key vehicle immobilisers in less than ten seconds. His method involved an antenna and laptop to intercept messages sent via the vehicle's CAN-bus.

You can make the immobiliser on your Renault more secure by keeping your keys in a faraday bag that blocks signals and keeps them from windows and door. You can also consider investing in a steering lock that will stop your car from being driven if the keys are taken out of it.

If you are worried about theft, it's a good idea to talk to your insurance provider and ask if they provide discounts when you have additional security features installed. Thatcham Research has a list of approved security devices and you could be able to bring your premium down significantly by installing an after-market immobiliser or other mechanical deterrents such as the steering lock.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device that communicates with the computer in the vehicle to perform different functions. When a keyfob is activated it emits radio signals that have an unique code. The code is then sent to a receiver inside the car. Once the car recognizes the code, the driver can open or start their car. The key fob can also manage other features like the panic alarm, as well as other security systems.

Most key fobs are designed to allow drivers to lock and unlock their car at a distance. The buttons on the fob can also be used to control other functions, such as opening the engine or lowering the window. Many modern cars are equipped with a key fob which can also control the power sunroof. This feature is especially useful during hot days and can help to keep the interior cool.

The key fob can be small, either in plastic or metal device. Some are thin and flat and some are round and have a button on each side. These keys aren't as secure as traditional keys however they offer convenience and security.

To avoid hacking or cloning key fobs use a technology called rolling codes. The key fob as well as the car's receiver generate a new code each time a user presses the button. This makes it nearly impossible for attackers to clone the signal and gain access to the car.

Some older fobs can be programmed by the owner, whereas others require dealer or locksmith programming. The ones that can be programmed by the owner include those that work with infrared or infrared/radio frequency systems. The latest fobs require a locksmith or dealership to program them with a special tool or software.

The most recent Renault automobiles, including the Clio and Megane, are equipped with keyless entry systems that can be controlled through a key fob. This is a convenient method to unlock and start the car and can also help keep keys from being stolen. The addition of additional key fobs could also prove useful in the event that one gets lost or damaged.
