Renault key replacements can cost a lot when you don't shop around. Motors has contacted a few companies who offered prices up to EUR500 for a simple replacement key fob.

Instead of visiting a Renault dealer and pay their expensive cost, you can have your keys changed and coded by a locksmith in your area. This is a much quicker and less expensive option.

Transponder Keys

Many of today's cars include a transponder in the key, which transmits a coded signal which matches to your car's anti-theft system. This makes sure that only the owner with the correct code can open your car, thereby protecting it from thieves. It's a simple but effective method of helping deter potential thieves. It's one of the reasons it's worth ensuring that you have a spare key to use when you lose your car keys.

A regular transponder will look like a car key made of metal however the top is made of plastic. This is where the transponder is. They come in three distinct cut styles which include a standard lock and a remote head key (RHK) and a Tibbe Key. There's also the possibility of having a transponder chip built into the key fob for additional security.

When you insert the Renault transponder into the ignition, the key receives electromagnetic energy from the coil surrounding the barrel of the ignition. The chip transmits an electronic signal with the anti-theft code of the car to the engine control unit, and when it's in agreement the car will begin to start.

This technology doesn't stop car thieves who are new or old-fashioned from taking cars, but it does make it more difficult for them to start the vehicle since they'll need to use a 'hot wire device to start the car.

While it's true that transponder keys are more expensive than standard metal keys, it's important to remember that they protect your vehicle from theft, and they're a worthwhile investment. In addition to offering an extra layer of security, they're also much harder to duplicate than regular keys made of metal.

Anti-Theft Chips

Renault cars come with an immobiliser which stops the vehicle from starting if the key is not the right key. The majority of Renault keys have transponder chips that can only be programmed to the car it is attached to, when the key is put into the ignition the chip emits an electrical signal that is picked up by the immobiliser of the car and the ECU that then disables the engine, thereby preventing theft of your vehicle.

Certain older Renault models come with keys that appear different from traditional keys for cars. The card is placed into the dash panel reader and a button pressed to start your car. This system is more complex and is difficult to replace if your vehicle has been involved in an accident. In some instances, it is impossible to create a new key. We have to take out the Eeprom chip that is in the immobiliser. Using specific tools and software we reprogram the vehicle to use the new information.

Hands-Free Cards

The hands-free cards of Renault, which were first designed 20 years ago, are now popular with customers across the world. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicle without having to use the buttons on their keys or door handles. They can store important information, such as the serial number of the vehicle, registration, equipment, mileage, and tire pressure. While smartphones are on the verge to replace them, hands-free cards can still be found in two of three Renault vehicles.

The card appears like a credit card, and is inserted into the Renault dash panel reader to open the door and start the car. The cards are less likely to break as compared to metal keys, but they can still cause problems with internal mechanisms when they are bent and cracked by constant use. If your Renault Clio Megane Espace cannot start or open the doors, it might be time to replace the Renault key card.

The Car Key People will be able to cut and program the Renault key the same day you contact them.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, also known as a small electronic device, allows you to unlock your vehicle without a physical key. It also functions as an remote control for other items like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, just like the transmitters found in a remote-control toy. When you press a button on the fob it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or another device. The receiver interprets the code and signals the appropriate actions to take.

Modern car key fobs utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to connect with the car's onboard computer. The computer reads the signal from the key fob, looking for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. If the code is matched the system will either open the door or start the engine.

The technology is also being used in other types of vehicles, such as trucks, tractors, airplanes buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their cars. This makes it easier to start the engine or open doors with a click of a single button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be dangerous if you don't pay to your surroundings. For instance, a CR auto editor once walked out to her car parked Honda Accord and found all the windows were shut. The key fob transmits an alert that triggers the auto windows.

Apart from keeping an eye on the battery, also make sure your key fob has a clear view of the buttons and a secure connection to the car's onboard computer. A remote that is not secure or connected could send the wrong signal, resulting in an issue such as a hot car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys in the event that your key fob looses power or is damaged. It's also recommended to replace the battery periodically to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. Generally, you can find the right battery for your key fob at a local hardware store or a big-box retailer. The owner's manual or manufacturer's website should contain instructions for replacing the battery.
