Immobilisers Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They've been mandatory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are included in the fobs or keys of your car. 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 isn't the identical, the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine, and then stop the vehicle. This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal sent by your key and send it to the car's ECU to ensure that it can begin. This technology has cut down on car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a vehicle that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you have it fitted. The immobiliser is typically concealed within the head of your car keys and consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the chip and then sends an indication to the ECU that can only be deactivated using a programmed key or by taking the chip off the key. Early Renault models had static codes that were easily copied using special devices. The most recent versions utilize shifting or rolling codes, which can only be duplicated using the right technology.

Key Cards The hands-free card is an increasingly popular feature in Renault's vehicles. The small device can be used to unlock the vehicle and start it, but also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It can even replace keys that are traditional when the driver isn't in the car. The idea behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was making preparations to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room using the use of a magnet card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's automobiles. You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has long had a reputation for innovation. Renault was the first to create a 'hands-free card', a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without even touching the handle. It was the first time that a car maker could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it changed the way drivers drive. Its design made it simple to get in and out of cars. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today. How does it work? The key card is a microprocessor that must be programmed for the 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, that is used to communicate with the car's immobiliser system. The chip in the key recognizes the moment you press the button on the remote, and tells that the vehicle to respond in the same way. This could be anything from opening doors to switching radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes a Renault a highly technologically advanced piece of equipment. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands-free card'. He was working on a saloon named the Laguna II that was supposed to be the ultimate lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in an hotel when he attempted to use the keys for his room and realized it would be possible to design a key that can lock and open the car by touching it. The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a a new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. It's simple and a good option if the key has sustained serious damage, like buttons that have broken off or have worn away. However, if you have a new key but it won't start your car this is probably because the immobiliser hasn't transferred over. To test this, hold the old key close to the new one and your car should begin.
