Transponder Chips Renault offers a range of immobilisers and keys locks. The most recent systems, beginning in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are tiny circuits inside the key which send signals to the computer system of the car If the signal isn't received it will prevent the engine from beginning. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your vehicle isn't stolen and you are the only one who can start it. A replacement key that has a transponder chip is a little more expensive than just an ordinary non-transponder key this is because of the additional manufacturing costs of having a micro-circuit within the key, but this does not mean that you will have to pay money. Locksmiths can produce keys with a Transponder Chip for less than you would purchase from the dealer.

Immobilisers Immobilisers protect your vehicle from being hot-wired or driven without the correct key. They've been required in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are integrated into the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is pressed the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code isn't the same, the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine, and then stop the car. This is a way to stop criminals from using equipment that copies the signal that is generated by your key and transmits it to the ECU of the vehicle in order to enable it to start. This technology has cut down on car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums when you have the technology installed. The immobiliser is typically hidden within the head of your car key. It comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is put into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel detects the microchip and transmits an information to the ECU. This signal can only be deactivated using a programmed or removed key. The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied using special devices. Modern versions employ shifting or rolling codes, which can only be duplicated by the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is important to only install these types of anti-theft devices installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a crucial component of Renault's popular line of vehicles. This tiny device is used to unlock the vehicle and then start it and allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It is even able to replace a traditional key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first developed in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock his room using the use of a magnetic card. He adapted the idea and developed it further and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's models. You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has long had a reputation for innovation. It was the first company to produce a 'hands free card', a tiny device that lets you unlock your car and begin it without even touching the handle. It was the first time that a manufacturer of a car could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it completely changed the way drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of automobiles and is one of the most commonly used features in any vehicle on the road today. How does it function? The key card itself is a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed for the specific vehicle. This is done using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the vehicle. The chip in the key detects the moment you press the button on the remote and tells that the vehicle to respond in the same way. This can include anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is the reason why Renault an extremely sophisticated piece of technology. The “hands-free” card was the idea of a design team led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to embody the car that is a lifestyle vehicle of the 21st century. He was staying in the hotel when he tried to use the keys in the room and realised that it was possible to design keys that could lock and open the car by pressing it. The key is comprised of an outer case (usually black) with buttons, a transponder chip and the key blade made of plastic. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. It's simple and is a great option if the key has sustained serious damage, such as if the buttons have broken off or deteriorated. If, however, you have a brand new key and it won't start your car this is probably because the immobiliser hasn't transferred over. To test, hold the old key close to the new one. The car should start.
