Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars use a different system for keys than most other brands. Instead of a key that can be turned into a lock to open the doors and begin the engine they use a key card that slot into a dash panel reader and a button to press to activate. It can be time-consuming and costly to purchase a replacement key from the main dealer if you have only one Renault key. We keep Renault keys and cards in stock so can get you back on the road quickly. Transponder Chips Renault has a couple of different systems related to their key locks and immobilisers and the latest models starting from 2000 include transponder chips. These are tiny mini circuits that are embedded in the key. They transmit signals to the computer system in the vehicle. If the signal isn't received, the engine won't start. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen and you are the only one who can start it. A replacement key with chip is a bit more expensive than a regular key. This is due to the extra manufacturing costs that are associated with the micro-circuit. But, you won't have to pay for a whole lot of money. 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 think that their only option is to go to the dealer, but this could be a lengthy process that will see you waiting a while for your new key. Instead, you can speak to a locksmith who will be able to make an alternative Renault key at a much cheaper cost and in a fraction of the time it takes a dealership to do so. Keys and keycards can be damaged or even fail. This is usually due to the internal mechanisms of the card breaking and cracking over time. Some Renault key repair experts can repair these cards, but this is only an interim solution. The card will most likely fail in the future. A professional locksmith will be able to remove the chip from your old key and then program a brand new Renault key with laptop software. This will restore the functionality of your remote and enable you to start your car as normal. This will also help to protect your car from theft since only the correct key will work to activate the immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers protect your vehicle from being hot-wired, or driven without the correct key. Since 1998, they are required in the UK for all new vehicles. They are built in the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is activated the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code is not the identical, the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine and drive away the car. This prevents a criminal from using specialized equipment to copy the signal emitted by your key and send it to the car's ECU and it will start. This has significantly reduced the number of car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal cars with this technology, which is why insurance companies will generally offer discounts on your premium when it is installed. The immobiliser is usually hidden in the head of the car key. It is a microchip which is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. G28CarKeys inside the barrel reads the chip and then sends an indication to the ECU that can only be deactivated using an authorised key or removing the chip from the key. A few early Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, however the most recent versions have been upgraded to utilize rolling or changing security codes that can only be duplicated using the appropriate technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of the system and is why it's important to only install these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is an increasingly popular feature in Renault's cars. The small device can be used to open and start the vehicle, but it also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and can even act as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional when the driver is not driving. The idea behind the hands-free card dates to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was making preparations to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using magnetic cards. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's automobiles. You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to be able to use the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG program available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has had a long-standing reputation for its ingenuity. They invented the first hands-free card', which is a small device that allows you to unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first time 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 easier to get in and out of automobiles and is one of the most commonly used features in every car that is on the road today. What exactly is it? The key card itself has a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed to the particular vehicle. This is accomplished using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which is used for communication with the immobiliser of the car. The chip inside the key recognizes when you press the button on the remote and instructs that the vehicle to respond in the same way. This can include anything from opening the doors to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes a Renault a very intelligent piece of technology. The “hands-free” card was the idea of a design team led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to embody the modern-day car of the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel and was attempting to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could create a key which would unlock and start the car by simply pressing 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 the new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is easy to do and a good option if the key has suffered serious damage, like buttons that have broken off or deteriorated. If you have a brand new one but it's not able to 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 the car should begin.
