Transponder Chips

Renault offers a range of keys locks and immobilisers. The most recent systems, beginning in 2000, all have transponder chips.  renault master key programming  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 starting. This is a great security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not being taken away and only you are able to start it.

A replacement key that comes with chip is a bit more expensive than a standard key. This is due to the higher manufacturing costs that are associated with the micro-circuit. However, you don't need to pay an arm and leg. There are locksmiths who can make an alternative key that has a transponder chip for the price that is lower than what you'd pay at a dealership.

Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards think that the only solution is to go to their dealer. This can be a long process and you may be waiting long to receive your new key. Instead, contact locksmiths to create the replacement Renault Key for only a fraction of the price it costs and takes the time of a dealer.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that block your car being hot-wired or driven away without the correct key. Since 1998, they have been mandatory in the UK for all new cars. They are built into the fobs or keys of your vehicle. They function by sending a code to the 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 start the engine and allow the car to go away.

This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key and transmits it to the ECU of the car to allow it to start. This technology has cut down on car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a car equipped with this technology. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed.

The immobiliser is typically hidden 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 detects the chip and transmits an electrical signal to the ECU which can only be deactivated using a programmed key or by taking the chip off the key.

The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. Modern versions employ rolling or changing codes, which can only be duplicated with the appropriate technology. This has greatly improved the effectiveness of these systems and is why 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 cars. The tiny device can be used to unlock and begin the vehicle, but it also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and can even be used as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional when the driver is not driving. The concept behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001 when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and noticed how easy it was to lock a room using magnetic cards. He rediscovered the idea and further developed it, eventually making it an integral feature of Renault's models.

To use the hands-free card, you will require a card reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programmes available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has had a long-standing reputation for innovation. Renault was the first to produce a 'hands free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and begin it without even touching the handle. It was the first time that a car maker could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it changed the way drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of automobiles. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today.

How does it work? The key card is an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. This is done using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car.

When you press a button on the remote, the chip inside the key recognises this and informs 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 a Renault a very intelligent piece of technology.

The "hands-free card" was the brainchild of a design team headed by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st century. He was staying in the hotel and was trying to use his room keys. He realized he could make a key which would unlock and start the car by just touching it.

The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and an aluminum blade. The case can be replaced with a key that has the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. This is simple to do and a good option if the key has suffered serious damage, like when the buttons have fallen off or deteriorated. If you have a brand new one but it does not start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, simply hold the old key close to the new one and the car should begin.
