Transponder Chips

These are tiny circuits in the key that send signals to the computer system of the car in the event that the signal isn't received it will prevent the engine from beginning. This is a fantastic security measure that ensures your vehicle cannot be stolen, and only you are able to start it.

A replacement key that has a transponder chip is a little more expensive than just a basic non-transponder key, this is because of the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit in the key, however this does not mean you'll have to pay the full amount. Locksmiths can make keys with a transponder Chip at a lower cost than you would buy from a dealer.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car from being hot-wired or driven away without the correct key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are integrated into the car's keys or fobs. They work by sending an electronic code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the car is started. If the code does not match, then the ECU disables certain components that are needed to operate the engine and then allow the car to go away.

This is a way to stop criminals from using special equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it will start. This has significantly reduced the number of car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal vehicles with this technology, which is the reason insurance companies typically offer discounts on your premium if this technology is fitted.

The immobiliser is typically hidden in the head of the car key. It is a microchip which is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the chip and then sends a signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated with an authorised key or removing the chip from the key.

The earliest Renault models used static codes that could be copied using special devices, but the most recent versions have been updated to use shifting or rolling security codes which can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the system and is the reason it is essential to only have these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a key element in renault scenic key's popular range of vehicles. The small device can be used to unlock and start the car and also allow drivers to control other functions, including the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and it can even be used as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional even when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first conceived in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and noticed how easy it was to lock a room with magnetic cards. He took the concept and developed it further before making it a standard feature on Renault's models.

To make use of the hands-free card you will require a card reader that is installed in the central console of the vehicle. The reader and the key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG software available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long had a reputation for its ingenuity. The first time that Renault did this was to create a 'hands-free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first time that a automobile manufacturer could offer such a feature to its customers, and it revolutionised the way that drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of cars and it is one of the most frequently used features in any car that is on the road today.

How does it function? The key card itself has a tiny microprocessor which has to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is done by using a special tool such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number which allows it to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip in the key recognizes this and instructs the car to respond in the same manner. This could include anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes Renault a very smart piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands-free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to embody the lifestyle car of the 21st century. He was staying in a hotel when he tried to use the room keys and realized that it would be possible to make keys that lock and start the car by touching it.

The key consists of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip from a different renault zoe replacement key remote key. This is easy to do and is a good option in the event that the key has sustained serious damage, like buttons that have broken off or have worn away. If you do have a new key and it won't start your car this is probably because the immobiliser isn't transferred to the new key. To test this, place the old key near the new one. The car should begin.
