Transponder Chips

Renault offers a variety of immobilisers and keys locks. The most recent systems, beginning in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are tiny circuits embedded in the key. They transmit signals to the computer system in the vehicle. If the signal isn't received, the engine won't be able to start. This is a good security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not being taken away and only you can start it.

A replacement key that has transponder chips is a bit more expensive than the basic non-transponder keys, this is because of the extra manufacturing costs of having a micro-circuit in the key, however this doesn't mean you are going to spend the full amount. Locksmiths can manufacture a key with a Transponder Chip for less than you would pay at an auction.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are integrated into your car's keys or fobs. They work by sending a code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is triggered and the car is started. If the code does not match, the ECU disables certain components that are needed to start the engine and drive the car away.

This is a way to stop criminals from using special equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key to transmit it to the ECU of the car so that it can start. This has drastically reduced car thefts as it would be extremely difficult to steal vehicles with this technology fitted, and is the reason why insurance companies generally offer an increase on your premium if this technology is installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually concealed within the head of your car key. It is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and then sends a signal to the ECU which can only be deactivated with an authorised key or taking the chip off the key.

The earliest Renault models used static codes that could be copied by special devices, but the most recent versions have been upgraded to use rolling or changing security codes that can only be duplicated with the appropriate technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the system and is the reason it is essential to only have these types of anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card has become an integral feature of Renault's vehicles. The small device can be used to open and start the vehicle however, it also allows drivers to control a variety of other functions, like the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and can even act as a replacement for a traditional car key even when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first developed in 2001, as renault car key cover prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room using the use of a magnet card. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further, eventually making it the standard feature on all Renault models.

You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to be able to use the hands-free card. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG programs available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. They produced the first 'hands-free card' - a small device that lets you unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first such technology that a car manufacturer could offer its customers and revolutionized the way people drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of cars. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today.

How does it work? The key card itself is a tiny microprocessor which has to be programmed for the specific vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key is also able to transmit its own identification code, which allows it to communicate with the car's immobiliser system.

When you press a button on your remote, the chip inside the key detects this and instructs the car to respond the same way. This can include anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes Renault a very smart piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands free card'. He was working on a saloon named the Laguna II that was supposed to be the car of lifestyle for the 21st Century. He was staying in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could make keys that would unlock and start the car by just touching it.

The key is made up of an outer casing (usually black), buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from another Renault remote key. This is an easy and effective solution for keys that have been severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If you have a brand new one but it isn't able to start your car, this is most likely due to the fact that the immobiliser was not transferred. To test, hold your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should begin.
