Transponder Chips Renault has a variety of different systems in relation to their immobilisers and key locks, the newer ones starting from 2000 all feature transponder chips. These are tiny mini 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 begin. This is a good security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not being taken away and only you are able to start it. Getting a replacement key with transponder chips is bit more expensive than an ordinary non-transponder key due to the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit inside the key, however this does not mean that you are going to spend an arm and a leg. There are locksmiths who can produce a replacement key with a transponder chip at a much more affordable price than you would be paying at the dealership. Many Renault owners who lose their keys or key cards think that the only way to get them back is to go to their dealer.

Instead, contact a locksmith to make the replacement Renault Key at only a fraction of the price it costs and requires an appointment at a dealership. Keys and keycards may be damaged or fail.

Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that block your car from being hot-wired or removed without the right key. They've been required in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are included in the fobs or keys of your car. When renault clio car key is activated, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code doesn't match, the ECU disables certain components that are needed to run the engine and allow the car to go away. This stops criminals from using special equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and send it to the car's ECU to ensure that it will start. This technology has decreased car thefts significantly as it is difficult to steal a car equipped with this technology. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you have it fitted. The immobiliser is usually concealed in the head of the car key. It is a microchip that is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the chip and then sends an electrical signal to the ECU that can only be deactivated using a programmed key or by taking the chip off the key. A few early Renault models used static codes that could be copied by special devices, however the most recent versions have been upgraded to use shifting or rolling security codes which can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is essential to only have these kinds of anti-theft devices installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a key component in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget can be used to unlock and begin the vehicle and also allow drivers to control various other functions, like the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key even when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was initially developed in 2001, as Renault was preparing to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room with magnetic cards. He took the concept and developed it further before making it a standard feature on Renault's models. You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has an established reputation for innovation. They created the first 'hands-free card', a tiny device that lets you unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first such technology that automobile manufacturers could offer to its customers and revolutionized the way that people drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of cars and it is one of the most frequently used features of any car that is on the road today. How does it function? The key card itself contains a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific tool like the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number, which allows it to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car. The chip in the key is able to detect when you press the button on the remote, and tells that the vehicle to respond in the same way. This could include anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes a Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands-free card'. He was working on a saloon dubbed the Laguna II that was supposed to be the ultimate lifestyle car for the 21st century. He was in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could make keys that would secure the vehicle and then start it by simply touching it. The key consists of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is simple to do and is a great option if the key has had some serious damage, for example buttons that have broken off or have worn away. If you have a new key but it does not start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key in place with the new one and your car should start.
