Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars come with a distinct key system that is different from other car manufacturers. Instead of a traditional key that can be transformed into a lock, the Renault cars have a keycard that can be inserted into the dash panel reader. A button is hit to activate the card. If you lose your sole Renault key it can take time and cost money to find a replacement from a main dealer. We have Renault keys and cards in our inventory so that we can get you back in the car as quickly as possible. Transponder Chips Renault has a variety of different systems when it comes to their key locks and immobilisers, the newer ones starting from 2000 all feature transponder chips. These are tiny mini circuits that are embedded into the key. They send signals to the computer system in the vehicle. If the signal is not received, the engine won't start. This is an excellent security measure to ensure your car isn't stolen and only you will be able to start it. A replacement key with a chip is slightly more expensive than a regular key. This is due to the extra manufacturing costs associated with the micro-circuit. However, you won't need to pay an arm and leg. Locksmiths can manufacture keys with a Transponder Chip for less than what you would purchase from the dealer. Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards believe that their only alternative is to visit the dealer, but this could be a lengthy process that could leave you waiting a while for your new key. Instead, you can call a locksmith who can create a replacement Renault key at a cheaper cost and in only a fraction of the time that it takes dealers to make the change. Keys and key cards can be damaged or even fail, usually due to internal workings of the card bending and cracking over time. These can be repaired by certain Renault key repairers, but it is only temporary fix, and the card will likely fail again in the near future. A professional locksmith will be able to remove the chip on your old key and then program a new Renault key using laptop software. This will restore the function of your remote and allow you to start your car as normal. This will also help to keep your car safe from theft as only the correct key will work to activate the immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are built into your car's keys or fobs. When the key is pressed it sends a code to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If thekeylab.co.uk does not match, the ECU disables certain components that are needed to operate the engine and then allow the car to go away. This stops criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU, so that it can begin. This technology has reduced the number of car thefts dramatically since it is extremely difficult to steal a vehicle equipped with this technology. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums when you have it installed. The immobiliser mechanism is usually concealed within the head of your car keys and comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and then sends a signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using an authorised key or dismantling the chip from the key. The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. The most recent versions utilize rolling or changing codes that can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of the system and is the reason it is important to only install these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a crucial component in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget is used to unlock the vehicle and start it and allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It is even able to replace keys that are traditional when the driver isn't in the car. The hands-free card was initially created in 2001, when Renault prepared 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 with the use of a magnetic card. He took the concept and further developed it, eventually making it a standard feature on Renault's models. You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's central console to be able to use the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. They produced the first 'hands-free card' - a small device that allows you to unlock and start your car without touching the door handle. It was the first technology that a car manufacturer could offer to customers and revolutionised the way people drive. Its design made it easier to access and exit automobiles, and it is now one of the most commonly used features of every car that is in the market today. What exactly is it? The key card is an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a special tool such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number, which is used to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The chip in the key detects the moment you press the button on the remote and instructs the vehicle to respond 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 the Renault a very intelligent piece of technology. The "hands-free" card was the brainchild of a design team headed 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 the hotel and was trying to use his room keys. He realized he could make keys that would lock and start the vehicle by just touching it. The key is made up of an outer case (usually black) with buttons, a transponder chip and a plastic key blade. The case can be replaced with a an alternative key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. It's simple and is a good option in the event that the key has had some serious damage, for example when the buttons have fallen off or worn away. However, if you have a new key and it won't start your car it is likely because the immobiliser hasn't transferred to the new key. To test this, hold the old key close to the new one and the car will begin.
