Transponder Keys

Most modern vehicles come with a transponder chip in the key that transmits a coded signal that matches up with your car's anti-theft system. This helps make sure that only the person who has the right code can start your car, thus protecting it from thieves. It's a straightforward but effective way of deterring potential thieves. It's also one of the reasons it's worth ensuring that you have a working spare for when you lose your car keys.

They come in three different styles: a standard-lock key as well as the Remote Head Key (RHK) and Tibbe. There's also the option of including a transponder chip into the key fob for added security.

When you insert the Renault transponder key into the ignition, it starts up by receiving electromagnetic energy from a wire placed around the ignition barrel. The chip transmits an electrical signal that matches the car's anti-theft code to the engine control unit, and if it matches up the car will start.

This technology won't stop car thieves, whether new or old-fashioned from stealing vehicles, but it makes it harder for them to start the vehicle as they will need to use a "hot wire device to get the car started.

Anti-Theft Chips

Renault cars come with an immobiliser that stops the vehicle from starting if the key is not the right key. The majority of Renault keys come with a transponder that can be programmed only to the vehicle they're connected to. When the key is inserted the chip emits a signal which is detected by the immobiliser system and ECU. This will deactivate your vehicle's engine to prevent theft.

They also store important information such as the serial number of the car, registration along with the vehicle's mileage, equipment, and even tire pressure. While smartphones are nearing the point of replacing them however, the hands-free card is still in use in two out of every three Renault vehicles.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, which is a small electronic device, lets you unlock your vehicle without a physical key. It also acts as an remote control for other items like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, much like the transmitters of a remote control toy. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter transmits a message to a receiver inside your vehicle or another device. The receiver interprets the code and decides the appropriate action to perform.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the key fob, and looks for a specific code that is compatible with a preprogrammed. If the code is found the system will either open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles also use the technology, including planes and trucks, buses/coaches, and tanks. Many car manufacturers have integrated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it much easier to start the engine or open doors with just a push of a single button.

While the convenience of a car's key fob is appealing, it can be dangerous if you don't pay attention. A CR auto reporter once walked past her parked Honda Accord only to find all the windows down. That's because the key fob sent an alert to activate the automatic windows.

You shouldn't just keep an eye on your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of your car safely. A disconnected or loose remote could send a wrong signal, which can cause malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or a window that is not controlled.

Keep spare keys on hand in case your key fob loses power or gets damaged. It is also recommended to replace the battery regularly to avoid it losing its charge. Generally speaking, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob in a hardware store or big-box retailer. The owner's manual, or the manufacturer's website should have instructions on replacing the battery.
