Transponder Chips

Renault offers a range of immobilisers and keys locks. The latest systems, starting in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are tiny circuits that are embedded into the key. They send signals to the computer system of the vehicle. If the signal isn't received the engine won't be able to start. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure your vehicle is not being stolen and you are the only one who can start it.

A replacement key that has transponder chips is bit more expensive than an ordinary non-transponder key this is due to the extra manufacturing costs of having a micro-circuit within the key, however this does not mean that you'll have to pay money.

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 built into the car's keys or fobs. When the key is activated the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code is not the identical it will cause the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine and drive away the car.

This stops criminals from using equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key to send it to the ECU of the vehicle to allow it to start. This has drastically reduced car thefts because it would be extremely difficult to steal vehicles with this technology. This is the reason why insurance companies generally offer discounts on your premium if this technology is installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually hidden within the head of your car keys and is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and sends an indication to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated by a programmed key or by dismantling the chip from the key.

The earliest Renault models used static codes that could be copied by specially-designed devices, however more recent versions have been updated to use changing or rolling security codes which can only be replicated with the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the systems and is why it's essential to only have these kinds of anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is an essential component of Renault's popular line of vehicles. The small device can be used to open and start the vehicle, but it also allows drivers to control various other functions, including the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first created in 2001, when Renault prepared 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 developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature of renault master replacement key's vehicles.

You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to use the hands-free card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG program 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', a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first time that a automobile manufacturer could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it changed the way that drivers drive. Its design made it easy to get into and out of automobiles. It is among the most popular features of any car today.

But how does it work? The key card itself is a tiny microprocessor which has to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is done with an specialized programer like the AVDI. The key is also able to transmit its own identification number which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip inside the key detects this and informs the car to respond in the same way. This can be anything from opening doors to switching radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes Renault a very smart piece of technology.

The 'hands-free card' was the idea of a design team led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the ultimate lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in a hotel and tried to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could create an ignition key that could secure the vehicle and then start it by just touching it.

The key is comprised of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as an aluminum key blade. The case can be swapped 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 had some serious damage, for example if the buttons have broken off or worn away. If you have a brand new key but it isn't able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test, hold your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should be able to start.
