Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars use a different key system than other brands. Instead of a traditional key which can be converted into a lock cars have a keycard that is inserted into the dash panel reader. A button is pressed to activate the card. If you lose your one and only Renault key, it could take time and cost money to find an alternative from a main dealer. We have Renault keys and cards in stock to help you get back into the car quickly. Transponder Chips Renault offers a variety of immobilisers and keys locks. The most recent systems, beginning in 2000, all have transponder chips. These are tiny circuits that are embedded in the key. They send signals to the computer system in the car. If the signal is not received, the engine won't be able to start. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen and only you are capable of starting it. A key replacement that has chip is slightly more expensive than a standard key. This is due to the additional manufacturing costs associated with the micro-circuit. However, you don't have to pay for a whole lot of money. Locksmiths can make keys with a Transponder Chip for a lower price than what you would purchase from the dealer. Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or key cards believe that the only alternative is to visit the dealer, this can be a lengthy process that could leave you waiting for a long time to receive your new key. Instead, you can speak to a locksmith who will be able to make the replacement Renault key at a cheaper cost and in only a fraction of the time that it takes an auto dealer to make it. Keys and keycards can become damaged or even fail. This is usually due to the internal mechanisms of the card bending and cracked over time. Some Renault key card repairers can fix these cards, but this is only temporary fix. The card will likely fail in the near future. A professional locksmith can take out the chip from your old key, and then program a new Renault key with laptop software. This will restore your remote's functionality and allow you to start the car as usual. This will also help keep your vehicle secure from theft, as only the right keys will activate the ignition immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. Since 1998, they're mandatory in the UK for all new vehicles. They are integrated into 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 drive 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 technology has decreased car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a car equipped with this technology. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed. The immobiliser mechanism is usually hidden within 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 inside the barrel reads the microchip, and then sends an alert to the ECU. This signal can only be deactivated by removing or programming a key. The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. The most recent versions utilize shifting or rolling codes, which can only be duplicated by the proper technology. This has greatly improved the effectiveness of these systems and is the reason it is essential to only have these kinds of anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is an integral feature of Renault's cars. This small gadget can be used to unlock the vehicle and start it and allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It could even replace an old-fashioned key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was initially developed in 2001, as Renault was preparing to launch the Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock the room using a magnetic card. He took the concept and further developed it, eventually making it an integral feature of Renault's models. To use the hands-free card, you need a card reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. They produced the first 'hands-free card', a tiny device that lets you unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first time that a automobile manufacturer could offer such a 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 one of the most popular features of a car today. What exactly is it? The key card itself has an extremely tiny microprocessor that needs to be programmed for the specific vehicle. This is done with a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the vehicle. The chip inside the key is able to detect when you press the button on the remote and instructs the vehicle to respond in the same way. This could be anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes Renault an extremely sophisticated piece of technology. 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 a hotel and tried to use his room keys. He realized he could make keys that would secure the vehicle and then start it by simply touching it. The key consists of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as an aluminum key blade. The case can be swapped with a key that has the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. This is a simple and effective solution for keys that have been severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been broken or worn out. If you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, this is most likely due to the fact that the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, simply hold the old key close to the new one and the car will begin.
