Immobilisers

Immobilisers prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven without the correct key. They've been required in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are integrated into the 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, the ECU disables certain components that are required to start the engine and allow the car to go away.

This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key, and then transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it will start. This technology has reduced car thefts significantly as it is extremely difficult to steal a vehicle that has this technology installed. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums if you've got it installed.

The immobiliser is usually concealed in the head of the car key. It is a microchip which is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel reads the microchip and sends an alert to the ECU. This signal can only be deactivated with a programmed or removed key.

A few early Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, however modern versions have been updated to use changing or rolling security codes that can only be duplicated using the appropriate technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of the system and is why it is vital to have these kinds of anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a crucial component in Renault's popular range of cars. The small device is used to open the vehicle and then start it and allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It is even able to replace a traditional key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free cards were first developed in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using a magnet card. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further and eventually made it an integral feature of Renault's models.

To utilize the hands-free cards, you need a card reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and key card can be programmed with 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 having to touch the door handle. It was the first such technology that automobile manufacturers could offer to customers and revolutionized the way that people drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of automobiles and is one of the most commonly used features in any car in the market today.

How does it function? The key card has a microprocessor that must be programmed for the vehicle. This is accomplished using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, that is used to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip in the key recognises this and tells the car to respond the same way. This can include anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes a Renault an extremely technologically advanced piece of equipment.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who designed the 'hands free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was believed to be the modern-day car of the 21st century. He was in an hotel when he attempted to use the keys for his room and realised that it would be possible to create keys that could lock and open the car by pressing it.

The key consists of an outer casing (usually black) buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and a plastic blade. The case can be changed by using a key that contains the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. It's simple and is a great option if the key has suffered serious damage, for example if the buttons have broken off or deteriorated. If you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, it is probably because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, place your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should be able to start.
