The most recent systems, which were introduced in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are tiny mini circuits that are embedded in the key.

This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your vehicle isn't stolen and you are the only one who are able to start it.

Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that stop your car being hot-wired or driven away without the proper key. They've been mandatory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are built into your car's keys or fobs. When the key is activated it sends a code to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code does not match, then the ECU disables certain components that are needed to operate the engine and then take the car away. This stops criminals from using special equipment that copies the signal generated by your key to transmit it to the ECU of the car so that it can start. This has significantly reduced car thefts as it would be extremely difficult to steal vehicles that have this technology. This is the reason why insurance companies generally offer discounts on your premium if it is installed. The immobiliser mechanism is usually located inside the head of your car keys and 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 an electrical signal to the ECU which can only be deactivated using the use of a key that is programmed or by taking the chip off the key. Early Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. Modern versions employ changing or rolling codes that can only be duplicated using the right technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it's important to only install such anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card has become an increasingly popular feature in Renault's vehicles. The small device can be used to open and start the car however, it also allows drivers to control various other functions, such as the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and can even act as a replacement for a traditional car key when the driver is not driving. The concept behind the hands-free card dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how simple it was to lock the room with a magnetic card. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature of Renault's vehicles. To make use of the hands-free card you will require a card reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG program available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has long had a reputation for innovation. They produced the first 'hands-free card', which is a small device that allows you to unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first time that a car maker could offer such a feature to its customers, and it changed the way drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of automobiles. It is one of the most popular features of any car today. What exactly is it? The key card itself is a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed for the specific vehicle. This is done using an instrument that is specifically designed for this purpose, such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which allows it 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 the reason why Renault an extremely sophisticated piece of technology. The 'hands-free card' was the idea of a design team headed by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to be the lifestyle car of the 21st century. He was in an hotel when he attempted to use the keys for his room and realised that it was possible to make a key that can lock and start the car by pressing it. The key is made up of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and an aluminum blade. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. This is easy to do and is a great option if the key has sustained serious damage, like buttons that have broken off or have worn away. If you have a new key but it does not start your car, it is probably because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key close to the new one and the car should start.
