This is a fantastic security measure to ensure that your car isn't taken away and only you can start it.

Immobilisers Immobilisers stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They've been mandatory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are included in the car's keys or fobs. When the key is activated the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code isn't the identical it will cause the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine and then drive away the car. This stops criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal emitted by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it will start. This technology has cut down on car thefts significantly as it is difficult to steal a vehicle that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you have it installed. The immobiliser is typically 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 that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and sends an electrical signal to the ECU that can only be deactivated using the use of a key that is programmed or by taking the chip off the key. The earliest Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. More recent versions use rolling or changing codes that can only be duplicated by the right technology. This has boosted the effectiveness of these systems, and it is important that only certified professionals from Thatcham Research install these anti-theft devices.

Key Cards The hands-free card has become an increasingly popular feature in Renault's range of cars. The small device can be used to open and start the car however, it also allows drivers to control a variety of other functions, like the lighting and the sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for a traditional car key 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. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock the room with an electronic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature on Renault's automobiles. To utilize the hands-free cards, you'll need a reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and card can be programmed using the AVDI/PROTAG software available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. Renault was the first to develop a “hands free card', which is a small device which allows you unlock your car and start it without having to touch the handle. It was the first time that a manufacturer of a car could offer such a feature to its customers, and it revolutionised the way drivers drive. Its design made it simple to get into and out of cars. It is among the most sought-after features of any car today. How does it work? The key card is an internal microprocessor which must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done by using a special tool such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car. The chip in the key recognizes 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 a Renault a very sophisticated piece of technology. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands free card'. 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 the keys in his room. He realized that he could make keys that would secure the vehicle and then start it by simply touching it. The key is comprised of an outer case (usually black) with buttons as well as a transponder chip a plastic key blade. The case can be swapped by using a key with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is a simple and efficient solution for keys that have been severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If, however, you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser hasn't transferred to the new key. To test this, simply hold the old key to the new one and the car will begin.
