The history behind the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is an invention that has revolutionized how people use their vehicles. The hands-free card is a tiny device, about the size of the standard credit card which has revolutionized the way we drive to unlock the car, enter and out, change the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how this little object brought great changes and how it is constantly evolving to meet changing needs.

Renault introduced its first hands-free card in 2001. It was developed as an improved alternative to the traditional key. It was claimed to provide more comfort and security when used, as well as reduce the time spent in the shop by allowing technicians to check the car status 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 vehicle identifies it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range, the system will periodically check whether it has an access code. It could take as little as 80 milliseconds.

However, the system wasn't without glitches. Some customers found that washing the cards was a real pain. If the card was placed in your trouser pockets, it is easy to accidentally sit on it. This can cause it to be deactivated.

To address these issues, the Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom" to ensure it was waterproof. They added a second layer to guard against accidental lockouts. The card was equipped with a microswitch which activated or deactivated the immobiliser whenever it approached or left a car.

This hands-free second generation card has been fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It improved the quality of Laguna II which was awarded a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP's crash tests. And it made its way into the third-generation Clio model, which was an automobile that was larger and more spacious, and came equipped with several features specifically designed to attract young drivers.

For instance, they can are now able to benefit from a procedure known as full kitting. This ensures that each technician is equipped with parts necessary to repair the vehicle they are working on.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free card hides an advanced electronics core. It is programmed to continually 'communicate' with the car it is connected to. It emits a confirmation signal whenever the driver comes near to the vehicle. If the card responds positively, it automatically unlocks the doors.

The seats can also be folded away, individually or as an entire unit, using the press of a button. The system is simple to use, much like dominos. It is also compatible when the headrests are in place. The seats disappear into the floor, leaving behind a space that is ideal to transport luggage.

In addition to this innovative seating option, the Espace V also features a variety of innovative storage solutions. Opposite the front seat passenger the practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' turns the glove box into a 12-litre large-capacity storage solution that is attractive and accessible. The center console also has an ample compartment hidden away that houses the hands-free cards and a mobile.

Despite the fact that smartphones appear to be poised to replace the hands-free card, Renault has decided not to let it go to the back of the pack. This is because the card accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used even in severe weather. Another benefit is that it is less susceptible to hacking. It does this because it uses an unique identification code that only the vehicle can know. The hands-free card is compatible with all Renault models, including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.
