We offer a different option that is much cheaper and faster. We keep all Renault keys and cards in stock, so we can usually provide you with a replacement substitute within an hour of your phone call.

Chipped Keys

If your Renault is equipped with transponders, they will only be activated when you insert the correct key. This helps to prevent car theft by preventing the engine from running when an unapproved key is used.

The chip is equipped with an ID number that is matched up with the one stored in your car's computer system. When you put the new key in the ignition it sends a signal to the immobiliser. It then examines whether the code on your chip is the same as that stored in the system. If the match is a success, then your car will allow fuel flow, turning of the starter motor or any other thing it needs to do.

If the key fails to send an appropriate match, or is not recognized by the immobiliser, the car will stop running and enter the safety lockout mode. It typically lasts between 3 and 4 minutes. If this happens you won't be able to drive your car and will need a new key.

Understanding the differences between these two will help to understand their purpose. A transponder key is used to unlock doors of cars but it is also needed to start the car. It does this by sending an electrical signal to the engine by a microchip within the key. The microchip can then determine the vehicle's unique identifier and turn off the immobilizer.

It is important to keep in mind that a dealer will only program the key fob if you provide identification document or proof of ownership. This prevents thieves from simply recording the VIN and then rushing to the local parts department to get the key fob programmable for an alternative vehicle.
