The latest systems, starting in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are small mini circuits within the key that transmit signals to the computer system of the car If the signal isn't received it will prevent the engine from being started. This is a good security measure to ensure that your car isn't taken away and only you can start it. A key replacement that has a chip is slightly more expensive than a regular key. This is due to the additional manufacturing costs that are associated with the micro-circuit. However, you won't be required to shell out an arm and leg. Locksmiths can produce keys with a transponder Chip for a lower price than the one you'd buy from an auction. Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards think that the only solution is to go to their dealer.

A professional locksmith can remove the chip from your old key and use laptop software to program a new key to your Renault car. This will restore the functionality of your remote and allow you to start your car as normal. This will also help to keep your car safe from theft since only the correct key will work to activate the immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven away without the correct key. They've been mandatory in the UK on all new vehicles since 1998 and are included in the car's keys or fobs. They work by sending an electronic code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the car is started. If the code is not the same, the ECU disables some components required to start the engine and then drive away the car. This is a way to stop criminals from using equipment that copies the signal generated by your key and transmits it to the ECU of the vehicle in order to enable it to start. This technology has reduced car thefts by a significant amount since it is extremely difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums when you have the technology installed. The immobiliser is usually hidden in the head of the car key. It is a microchip which is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and then sends an electrical signal to the ECU which can only be deactivated by an authorised key or dismantling the chip from the key. The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied using special devices. More recent versions use changing or rolling codes, which can only be duplicated using the appropriate technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the systems and is the reason it is important to only install such anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is an essential element in Renault's popular range of vehicles. This small gadget can be used to unlock the vehicle and then start it, but also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It can even replace an old-fashioned key when the driver isn't driving. The concept behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was making preparations to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room using a magnet card. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further before making it an integral feature of Renault's models. To utilize the hands-free cards, you'll need a reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has had a long-standing reputation for its ingenuity. It was the first company to develop a “hands free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first technology that automobile manufacturers could offer to its customers and revolutionised the way people drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of automobiles. It is among the most sought-after features of cars in the present. What exactly is it? The key card itself contains an extremely tiny microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the particular vehicle. This is done by using a specific tool like 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 of the car. When you press a button on your remote, the chip inside the key recognises this and informs the car 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 Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands-free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was believed to be the lifestyle car of the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel and was attempting to use his room keys. He realized that he could create an ignition key that could lock and start the vehicle by just touching it. The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black) buttons as well as a chip transponder an aluminum blade. The key case can be replaced by a the new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. It's simple and is a great option if the key has suffered serious damage, for example when the buttons have fallen off or worn away. If, however, you have a new key and it isn't able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser hasn't transferred over. To test this, simply hold the old key to the new one and the car will begin.
