Renault key cards are electronic devices that can be more than just used to unlock doors and start the engine. They can store information and can even function as an 'auto passport'.

The history and evolution of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is just one of those inventions that has changed the way people use cars. The hands-free card is a small device, no bigger than the standard credit card which has revolutionized the way we drive to unlock the car, get into it, change the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how this little object brought great changes and how it is always evolving to meet the latest requirements.

Renault's first hands-free card was launched in 2001. It was designed to be a more efficient alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer greater safety and comfort when used, as well by reducing the time spent in the workshop as it allows technicians to check car status remotely.

To do this, it emits a radio signal when the driver approaches the car, which is detected by receiver-transmitters located throughout the vehicle. If the card is present, the car recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This activates the immobiliser and unlocks the doors. If the card is no longer in range it will check it regularly to see whether it still has the access code - it could take as little as 80 milliseconds, or less than the blink of an eye.

But the system was not without glitches. Some customers reported that washing the cards was a real trouble. And if the card was placed in a trouser pocket it was easy to accidentally sit on it, which caused it to be locked or deactivated. locked in error.

In an effort to resolve these issues, the Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom", to ensure that it was watertight. They added a second layer to protect against unintentional lockouts. The card was equipped with a microswitch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser whenever it approached or left a car.

This hands-free second generation card has been installed to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It improved the quality of Laguna II which was awarded five stars in Euro NCAP's crash tests. And it made its way into the third generation Clio, which was an automobile that was bigger and more spacious, and included several features that were designed to appeal to younger drivers.

The hands-free card that is included in the Espace V

Renault's Douai factory has been working hard to implement new procedures to ensure the best quality for its customers. This work has allowed craftspeople to look afresh at their skills. For example, they now benefit from a process called full kitting. This guarantees that each technician has the right set of components that correspond to the specific specifications of the vehicle with which they are working.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free card hides an advanced electronics core. It is programmed to constantly communicate with the vehicle it is paired with. It emits a confirmation signal each time the driver is near the car. If the card responds positively, it immediately unlocks the doors.

The seats can also be removed either as a set or an entire unit, with one button press. The operation is smooth, a bit like tipping dominos and the system is functional even when the head rests are in their place. The seats disappear into the floor leaving an area that is ideal for luggage.

In addition to this innovative seating option, the Espace V also features a number of clever storage solutions. In front of the front seat passenger, a practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' transforms the glove box into a 12 litre large capacity storage unit that is stylish and accessible. The center console also has an enormous compartment that houses the hands-free card and an mobile.

Renault has decided to keep the hands-free card in its current form despite the fact that smartphones are preparing to replace them. This is because the accessory has numerous advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used even in severe weather. It is also less prone to hacking. It is a secure code that only the vehicle will recognize. The hands-free card is used with all Renault models, including the ZOE Clio Scenic Kadjar Megane.

The hands-free card is available in the Laguna II

This small device, which is barely bigger than a credit-card-sized has revolutionized the way we use automobiles. The hands-free cards have become a symbol of Renault and is one of its most innovative products.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free card conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed so that it constantly 'communicates' with the car to which it is linked. When the car is approached, the card emits a radio signal containing an access code. The car will open the doors when it recognizes the card. The entire process takes just eight milliseconds.

The card can also store information on the car's serial number and registration, its owner, equipment and mileage. This can reduce the time in the workshop, should there is a problem. The mechanic can also pinpoint the issue by simply studying the data on an unidirectional card.

Hands-free cards are prone to problems, and some of these can be serious. If the vehicle isn't driven for a prolonged period of time, it may lose its memory, leading to it not being able to open the door or start up the engine. The ignition key could also stop working. The hand-free card can be reset to fix these problems however it won't prevent future malfunctions.

Another common problem with the hands-free cards is a lack of buttons. It is common for drivers to lock or unlock their doors accidentally by putting their card in their pockets. This can be extremely frustrating when trying to leave their vehicle without using their hands. It is possible to resolve this issue by programming a second button on the card that allows hands-free operation, but it isn't easy to find a card that is compatible at a reasonable price.

Renault have now changed the design of their hands-free cards to ensure they are more durable. Renault Megane, Renault Laguna and the brand new Renault Megane have cards that are more resistant to damage. However, there are people with Renault hands free cards which are no longer working correctly. Contact us if the card you have is no longer working. We will make and program a brand new one for you.

The hands-free card in the Clio

Renault has been working hard in the years since to improve the hands-free card both in terms of its appearance and the technology inside. The cards are so easy to use that even the youngest drivers aren't having any trouble using them. The newest models are even more effective at detecting presence of drivers. The aerials are more efficient and can detect the card holder in any area of the vehicle. They also have an initiation sequence that activates when the car detects the card approaching the vehicle. The door handles that flush, which are normally hidden inside the car body and then come out. The charging port cover is also unlocked automatically.

The card will ping the vehicle when it's close enough. The car then examines the code and if it is in line the car is able to unlock and the doors and boot are shut. The entire process takes 80 milliseconds, which is faster than a blink of an eye. If the card is then moved away from the vicinity of the car, the on-board computer continues to ping the card at regular intervals to see whether it is still within the area. If the card doesn't respond, the boot and doors are locked again.

Many other functions are also triggered through the hands-free card, including locking the doors, triggering the horn and lights, and lower the windows. The card also stores information such as the vehicle's serial number and registration information, the details of the owner, equipment and mileage, making it kind of like a 'car passport'.

The Renault hands-free is a practical and safe method to control the systems in your car. However, it shouldn't be placed close to animals or children as they may cause the engine to start or activate equipment like the electronic windows, which could pose a risk to safety. The hands-free card should not be kept in cold, hot or humid conditions since it could damage the circuitry.
