This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not stolen and only you will be able to start it.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven without the correct key. Since 1998, they are mandatory in the UK for all new cars. They are embedded into the fobs or keys of your vehicle. They work by sending a code to your car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is triggered and the car is started. If the code does not match, then the ECU disables certain components that are required to operate the engine and then allow the car to go away.

This stops criminals from using specialized equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key and transmits it to the ECU of the car in order to enable it to start. This has significantly reduced the number of car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal vehicles that have this technology, which is the reason insurance companies generally offer an increase on your premium when it is installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually hidden within the head of your car key. It consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and sends an electrical signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using an authorised key or removing the chip from the key.

The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. More recent versions use shifting or rolling codes, which can only be duplicated using the proper technology. This has boosted the effectiveness of these systems, and it is important that only Thatcham Research-approved professionals install these anti-theft devices.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a key element in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget can be used to unlock and begin the vehicle however, it also allows drivers to control various other functions, such as the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key when the driver isn't driving. The idea behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how simple it was to lock the room with a magnetic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature of Renault's vehicles.

You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's center 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 long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. They produced the first 'hands-free card' - a small device that allows you to 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 people drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of cars. It is one of the most sought-after features of any car in the present.

How does it function? The key card has an internal microprocessor which must be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a special tool such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, that is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip inside the key recognizes this and tells the car to respond in the same way. This could be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault an extremely technologically advanced piece of equipment.

The "hands-free card" was the brainchild of a design team headed by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to embody the lifestyle car of the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel when he attempted to use the room keys and realized it was possible to create keys that could lock and start the car just by pressing it.

The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black) buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a the new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is a simple and effective solution for keys that have been severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been broken or worn out. However, if you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser isn't transferred to the new key. To test, hold the old key close to the new one. The car should begin.
