Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that block your car being hot-wired or removed without the right key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are built into the car's keys or fobs. They function 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 is not the same it will cause the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine and then drive away the vehicle. This stops criminals from using special equipment to copy the signal emitted by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU, so that it can begin. This technology has reduced car thefts by a significant amount since it is difficult to steal a vehicle equipped with this technology. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed. The immobiliser system is usually located inside the head of your car keys and consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is put into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel reads the microchip and sends a message to the ECU. This signal is only deactivated by removing or programming a key. A few early Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, however more recent versions have been upgraded to use rolling or changing security codes which can only be replicated with the right technology. This has boosted the effectiveness of these systems and it is essential that only certified professionals from Thatcham Research install these anti-theft devices.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a key component in Renault's popular range of vehicles. This small gadget can be used to unlock and start the car and also allow drivers to control various other functions, including the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for the traditional car key when the driver isn't driving. The idea behind the hands-free card dates to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was preparing 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 using a magnetic card. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's automobiles. You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's central console to be able to use the hands-free card. The reader and key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has a long-standing reputation for innovation. It was the first company to develop a “hands free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and begin it without touching the handle. It was the first technology that a car manufacturer could offer to customers and revolutionized the way people drive. Its design made it easier to get in and out of cars and it is one of the most commonly used features in any car on the road today. But how does it work? The key card has an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific tool like the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number, which allows it to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The chip inside the key is able to detect 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 changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault a highly sophisticated piece of technology. The “hands-free card” was the idea of a design group led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon dubbed the Laguna II that was supposed to be the car of lifestyle for the 21st century. He was staying in a hotel when he tried to use the keys for his room and realised that it was possible to design a key that can lock and start the car by pressing it. The key consists of an outer case (usually black) with buttons, a transponder chip and a plastic key blade. The case can be replaced with the new key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is a simple and efficient solution if your key has been seriously damaged, like buttons that have been broken or worn out. If you have a brand new key but it does not start your car, it is probably because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, simply hold the old key to the new one and your car should start.
