Renault cars have a different key system than other brands. Instead of a key which is turned into a lock to open the doors and begin the engine they have a keycard that slots into an in-dash panel reader and a button to press to activate.

If you lose your sole Renault key, it could cost you time and money to get a replacement from a main dealer. We keep Renault keys and cards in stock so can get you back on the road fast.

Transponder Chips

Renault offers a variety of immobilisers and keys locks. The most recent systems, starting in 2000, all feature transponder chips. These are small mini circuits inside the key which send signals to the car's computer system, if the signal isn't received it will prevent the engine from starting. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure your car isn't stolen and you are the only one who can start it.

Finding a replacement key with transponder chips is bit more expensive than the basic non-transponder keys, this is due to the extra manufacturing costs of having a micro-circuit within the key, however this doesn't mean you are going to spend the full amount. Locksmiths can manufacture keys with a Transponder Chip for less than what you would pay at a dealer.

Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards think that their only option is to go to the dealer, which can be a lengthy procedure that will leave you waiting for a long time to receive your new key. Instead, you can contact a locksmith to make an alternative Renault Key at less than what it costs and will not require the time of a dealer.

Keys and keycards may be damaged or fail. This is usually caused by the internal workings of card breaking and cracking over time. They can be repaired by some Renault key repairers, but this is an interim fix and the card is likely to fail again in the future. A professional locksmith can take out the chip on your old key, and then program a brand new Renault key using laptop software. This will allow your remote to function again and allow you to start the car as usual. This will also help to keep your car safe from theft, as only the correct key is able to activate the immobiliser.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired or driven without the correct key. Since 1998, they are mandatory in the UK for all new vehicles. They are embedded in the fobs or keys of your vehicle. When the key is activated, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code does not match, the ECU disables certain components needed to run the engine and drive the car away.

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 can begin. This has significantly reduced car thefts since it is extremely difficult to steal vehicles that have this technology, which is the reason insurance companies generally offer a discount on your premium if this technology 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. A coil around the barrel reads the chip and sends an indication to the ECU that can only be deactivated with a programmed key or by removing the chip from the key.

Some early Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, however modern versions have been updated to use shifting or rolling security codes which can only be replicated with the right technology. This has increased the effectiveness of these systems and it is crucial that only certified professionals from Thatcham Research install these anti-theft devices.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is an essential element in Renault's popular range of cars. The small device can be used to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start however it also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It could even replace keys that are traditional when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first conceived in 2001, as Renault was preparing to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using the use of a magnet card. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further and eventually made it an integral feature of Renault's models.

You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's center console to use the hands-free card. The reader and the key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programmes available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. The first time that Renault did this was to create a 'hands-free card', a tiny device which allows you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first time a automobile manufacturer could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it completely changed the way drivers drive. Its design made it easier to access and exit automobiles, and it is now one of the most commonly used features in any car on the road today.

But how does it work? The key card has an internal microprocessor which must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key is also able to transmit its own identification number, which is used to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

The chip inside the key is able to detect when you press the button on the remote, and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This can be anything from opening doors to switching radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes Renault a very smart piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands-free card'. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the car of lifestyle for the 21st century. He was staying in a hotel and tried to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could create an ignition key that could lock and start the vehicle by simply pressing it.

The key is made up of an outer case (usually black) with buttons as well as a transponder chip an aluminum key blade. The case can be replaced with a an alternative key that has had the transponder chip transferred from a different Renault remote key. This is easy to do and is a good option in the event that the key has had some serious damage, like if the buttons have broken off or have worn away. If you have a brand new one but it isn't able to start your car, it is most likely due to the fact that the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key in place with the new one and your car should start.
