Renault Clio Replacement Key

Renault cars have a different key system that is different from other car manufacturers. Instead of a traditional key that can be transformed into a lock, the Renault cars use a keycard that slides into the panel of the dashboard. A button is press to activate the card.

Transponder Chips

Renault has a couple of different systems when it comes to their key locks and immobilisers, the newer ones starting from 2000 all feature transponder chips. These are small mini circuits inside the key which transmit signals to the computer system of the car in the event that the signal is not received it will prevent the engine from being started. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your vehicle is not being stolen and you are the only one who can start it.

A replacement key that has a transponder chip is a bit more expensive than an ordinary non-transponder key this is because of the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit inside the key, but this does not mean that you are going to spend an arm and a leg. You can find a locksmith who can make keys with a transponder Chip at the price that is lower than you would be paying at an auto dealer.

Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards believe that their only alternative is to visit the dealer, this can be a lengthy process that will see you waiting for a long time to receive your new key. You can instead call an expert locksmith to create the replacement Renault Key at only a fraction of the price it costs and takes a dealership.

Keys and key cards may be damaged or fail, this is usually due to the internal mechanisms of the card being bent and cracking over time. Key cards can be repaired by some Renault key repairers, but this is only an interim fix and the card is likely to fail again in the future. A professional locksmith can remove the chip from the old key and then use laptop software to program a new key to your Renault car. This will restore the functionality of your remote and allow you to start your car like a normal. This will also help keep your car safe from theft as only the right key will be able to activate the immobiliser.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car from being hot-wired, or removed without the right key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are included in the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is pressed it sends a code to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code isn't the same then the ECU disables some components required to start the engine, and then stop the car.

This prevents a criminal from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and send it to the car's ECU and it will start. This technology has cut down on car thefts significantly as it is extremely difficult to steal a vehicle with this technology installed. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums when you have the technology installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually hidden within the head of your car key. It is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel detects the microchip and transmits an information to the ECU. This signal can only be removed with a programmed or removed key.

The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied using special devices. The most recent versions utilize rolling or changing codes that can only be duplicated by the right technology. a cool way to improve has greatly increased the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is vital to have these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is an integral feature of Renault's vehicles. This small gadget can be used to unlock and begin the vehicle and also allow drivers to control other functions, such as the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and it can even act as a replacement for a traditional car key when the driver is not driving. The idea behind the hands-free card dates back to 2001 when Renault was planning to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in a hotel when he saw how simple it was to lock his room with the use of a magnetic card. He adapted the idea and further developed it and eventually made it an integral feature of Renault's models.

You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's center console to use the hands-free card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. They invented the first hands-free card', a tiny device that allows you to unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first time that a automobile manufacturer could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it completely changed the way that drivers drive. Its design made it simple to get into and out of automobiles. It is one of the most popular features of cars in the present.

How does it work? The key card contains an internal microprocessor which must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done with a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number which is used to connect with the immobiliser system of the car.

When you press a button on your remote, the chip inside the key recognizes this and informs the car to respond in the same manner. This can be anything from opening doors to switching radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is the reason why Renault a very smart piece of technology.

The "hands-free" card was the brainchild of a design group led by Bernard Dumondel. 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 staying in the hotel and was trying to use his room keys. He realized he could make keys that would unlock and start the car by just touching it.

The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and an aluminum blade. The key case can be replaced by a an alternative key that has had the transponder chip transferred from another Renault remote key. This is easy to do and is a great option if the key has suffered serious damage, like if the buttons have broken off or deteriorated. If you have a new key but it's not able to start your car, this is probably because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, simply hold the old key close to the new one and your car should begin.
