Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that block your car from being hot-wired, or removed without the right key. Since 1998, they have been mandatory in the UK for all new vehicles. They are embedded in the fobs or keys of your vehicle. When the key is activated the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code doesn't match, the ECU disables certain components needed to run the engine and take the car away.

This prevents criminals from using equipment that copies the signal that is generated by your key to transmit it to the ECU of the vehicle so that it can start. This has significantly reduced the number of car thefts as it would be extremely difficult to steal cars with this technology. This is the reason insurance companies generally offer a discount on your premium if it is installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually concealed within the head of your car keys and consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel detects the microchip and transmits a message to the ECU. This signal can only be removed with a programmed or removed key.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is a key component of Renault's popular line of vehicles. This tiny device is used to unlock 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 keys that are traditional when the driver isn't driving. The concept behind the hands-free card dates to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and noticed how easy it was to lock a room with magnetic cards. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further, eventually making it the standard feature on all Renault models.

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 the key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programmes available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. They invented the first hands-free card' - 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 manufacturer of a car could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it completely changed the way that drivers drive. Its design made it easy to get in and out of cars. It is among the most popular features of cars in the present.

But how does it work? The key card itself is an extremely tiny microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the particular vehicle. This is done using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key can also transmit its own identification code which is used for communication with the immobiliser of the car.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip inside the key detects this and informs the car 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 the 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 lifestyle car for the 21st century. He was in the hotel when he tried to use the room keys and realized it was possible to make keys that lock and start the car just by pressing it.

The key is made up of an outer case (usually black) with buttons as well as a transponder chip the key blade made of plastic. The case can be replaced with a a new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient option if your key has been severely damaged, for example buttons that have been broken or worn out. If you do have a brand new key and it isn't able to start your car, it could be because the immobiliser hasn't been transferred over. To test this, simply hold the old key in place with the new one and your car should start.
