Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars use a different system for keys than most other makes. Instead of a key that can be turned into a lock to open the doors and start the engine, they have a keycard that is slotted into an in-dash panel reader and a button needs pressing to activate. If you lose your only Renault key it can take time and cost money to find replacement keys from a major dealer. We have Renault keys and cards in our inventory so that we can return you to the car as quickly as possible. Transponder Chips Renault has a couple of different systems in relation to their key locks and immobilisers and the latest models starting in 2000 have transponder chips. These are tiny circuits inside the key which send signals to the car's computer system If the signal is not received, it will stop the engine from beginning. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your vehicle cannot be stolen, and only you are authorized to start it. A replacement key that has a transponder chip is a bit more expensive than a basic non-transponder key, due to the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit inside the key, however this does not mean you will have to pay the full amount. You can find a locksmith who can produce keys with a transponder Chip at an affordable cost than what you'd pay at an auto dealer. Many Renault owners who lose their keys or key cards think that the only way to get them back is to go to their dealer. This can be a lengthy process and you could be waiting a while to get your new key. Instead, you can contact a locksmith who can create an alternative Renault key at a much cheaper cost and in a fraction of the time that it takes an auto dealer to make it. Keys and key cards may become damaged or fail, usually due to the internal workings of the card bending and cracking over time. Certain Renault key card repairers can fix these cards, however this is an interim fix. The card will likely fail in the future. A professional locksmith can take out the chip on your old key, and then program a new Renault key with laptop software. This will restore the function of your remote and allow you to start your car as normal. This will also keep your vehicle safe from theft, as only the correct keys will work to start the ignition immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that block your car being hot-wired or driven away without the proper key. G28CarKeys 've been mandatory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are built into the fobs or keys of your car. They work by sending a code to your car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the vehicle is started. If the code is not the same it will cause the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine and drive away the vehicle. This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment that copies the signal generated by your key to send it to the ECU of the vehicle so that it can start. This technology has reduced car thefts significantly as it is extremely difficult to steal a car equipped with this technology. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed. The immobiliser is usually concealed in the head of the car key. It is a microchip that can be activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel detects the chip and transmits a signal to the ECU which can only be deactivated by the use of a key that is programmed or by removing the chip from the key. The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied by special devices. More recent versions use shifting or rolling codes that can only be duplicated by the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the systems and is the reason it is vital to have these types of anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a key component of Renault's popular line of vehicles. This small gadget can be used to unlock and start the vehicle, but it also allows drivers to control a variety of other functions, including the lighting and the sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for keys for cars that are traditional when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free cards were first created in 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and noticed how easy it was to lock a room with a magnet card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's vehicles. To use the hands-free card, you will require a card reader that is installed in the central console of the vehicle. The reader and key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. It was the first company to produce a 'hands free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without even touching the handle. It was the first time that a car maker could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it changed the way that drivers drove. Its design made it simple to get in and out of cars. It is among the most popular features of cars today. How does it work? The key card itself has an extremely tiny microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is done using an specialized programer like the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number which allows it to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser system. When you press a button on your remote, the chip inside the key recognises this and informs the car 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 a Renault a highly sophisticated piece of technology. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands-free card'. 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 the hotel when he tried to use the keys for his room and realized that it was possible to create a key that can lock and start the car by touching it. The key is comprised of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as an aluminum key blade. The case can be replaced with a key that has the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. This is a simple and efficient solution for keys that have been seriously damaged, like if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, place the old key close to the new one. The car should start.
