Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars come with a distinct key system that is different from other car makers. Instead of a traditional key which can be converted into a lock cars use a keycard that slides into the panel reader in the dash. A button is press to activate the card. It can be lengthy and costly to obtain an alternative key from the main dealer if you only have one Renault key. We keep Renault keys and cards on hand so we can get you back on the road in a short time. Transponder Chips Renault has a couple 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 circuits within the key that send signals to the car's computer system in the event that the signal is not received, it will prevent the engine from starting. This is a great security measure that ensures your vehicle is not stolen and only you will be authorized to start it. A replacement key with a chip is slightly more expensive than a standard key. This is due to the extra manufacturing costs associated with the micro-circuit. But, renault clio replacement key won't need to pay an arm and leg. Locksmiths can make keys with a Transponder Chip for less than what you would purchase from a 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 long procedure that will leave you waiting a while for your new key. Instead, you can contact a locksmith to make the replacement Renault Key at less than what it costs and requires the time of a dealer. Keys and key cards may become damaged or fail, usually due to the internal workings of the card bending and cracking over time. They can be repaired by some Renault key repairers, but this is only a temporary fix and the card is likely to fail again in the near future. A professional locksmith can remove the chip from your old key and use laptop software to program a new key for your Renault car. This will restore the functionality of your remote and allow you to start the vehicle in the same way as you normally do. This will also help to protect your car from theft as only the correct key will work to activate the immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car being hot-wired or driven away without the correct key. Since 1998, they are required in the UK for all new vehicles. They are integrated into the keys or fobs of your car. They function by sending a code to your car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the car is started. If the code isn't the identical, the ECU disables the components needed to start the engine and drive away the car. This prevents criminals from using devices that copy the signal emitted from your key to send it to the ECU of the car in order to enable it to start. This has drastically reduced car thefts because it would be extremely difficult to steal cars with this technology fitted, and is the reason why insurance companies usually give you a discount on your premium if this technology is fitted. The immobiliser is usually concealed in the head of the car key. It is a microchip that is activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel reads the microchip, and then sends an information to the ECU. This signal can only be deactivated using a programmed or removed key. A few early Renault models had static codes that could be copied by special devices, however the most recent versions have been updated to use rolling or changing security codes which can only be duplicated using the right technology. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of the systems and is the reason it is essential to only have these types of anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a crucial component of Renault's popular line of cars. This small gadget can be used to unlock and start the vehicle however, it also allows drivers to control various other functions, including the lighting and sound welcome sequence, and it can even be used as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free cards were first conceived in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch their Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how simple it was to lock the room with a magnetic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's vehicles. To make use of 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 using 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 develop a "hands free card', which is a small device that allows you to unlock your car and begin it without having to touch the handle. It was the first time a automobile manufacturer could offer this kind of technology to its customers, and it revolutionised the way that drivers drive. Its design made it simple to get in and out of automobiles. It is among the most sought-after features of a car today. How does it work? The key card itself has a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed for the specific vehicle. This is done by using a specific tool like the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key is also able to transmit its own identification number, which allows it to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser system. When you press a button on the remote, the chip in the key detects this and informs the car to respond in the same way. This can be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology. The "hands-free card" was the idea of a design group led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the ultimate lifestyle car for the 21st century. He was in an hotel and was attempting to use his room keys. He realized he could make an ignition key that could lock and start the vehicle by simply touching it. The key consists of an outer casing (usually black) buttons as well as a chip transponder a plastic blade. The case can be replaced with a the new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient option if your key has been seriously damaged, like if its buttons have been broken or worn out. If you have a brand new key but it's not able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, place your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should start.
