Immobilisers

Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven without the correct key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are built into the car's keys or fobs. They function by sending an electronic code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is triggered and the car is started. If the code isn't the same, the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine and then drive away the car.

This is a way to stop criminals from using special equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key to transmit it to the ECU of the vehicle to allow it to start. This has significantly reduced car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal vehicles that have this technology fitted, and is why insurance companies will typically offer an increase on your premium when it is installed.

The immobiliser is typically concealed within the head of your car key. It comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel detects the chip and transmits a signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using the use of a key that is programmed or by taking the chip off the key.

The earliest Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, but modern versions have been upgraded to use shifting or rolling security codes that can only be replicated with the appropriate technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is vital to have these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a crucial component of Renault's popular line of cars. This small gadget can be used to unlock the vehicle and then start it, but also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It could even replace a traditional key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first developed in 2001, as Renault was preparing to launch the Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock his room using a magnetic card. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's automobiles.

You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's central console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. They produced the first 'hands-free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first technology that automobile manufacturers could offer its customers and revolutionized the way that people drive. Its design made it easy to get into and out of automobiles. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today.

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

The chip inside the key recognizes the moment you press the button on the remote, and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands free card'. He was working on a saloon dubbed the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could create keys that would lock and start the vehicle by just touching it.

The key consists of an outer casing (usually black) buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and an aluminum blade. The case can be replaced with a an alternative key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient option if your key has been seriously damaged, such as buttons that have been damaged or worn out. If you have a brand new one but it's not able to 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 will begin.
