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 integrated into the keys or fobs of your vehicle. They work by sending a code to your car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is triggered and the car is started. If the code doesn't match, the ECU disables certain components needed to operate the engine and then drive the car away.

This stops criminals from using special equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it can start. This technology has cut down on car thefts by a significant amount since it is extremely difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you've got it fitted.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually hidden within the head of your car keys and is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil around the barrel reads the chip and then sends an indication to the ECU that can only be deactivated with a programmed key 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 rolling or changing codes, which can only be duplicated by the proper technology. This has greatly improved the effectiveness of these systems and is the reason it is essential to only have such anti-theft systems installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards

The hands-free card is an essential component in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget can be used to open and start the vehicle however, it also allows drivers to control various other functions, including the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and can even be used as a replacement for the traditional car key when the driver is not driving. The hands-free card was first created in 2001, when Renault prepared to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room with the use of a magnet card. He took the concept and further developed it, eventually making it a standard feature on Renault's models.

Remote Buttons

Renault has an established reputation for innovation. The first time that Renault did this was to develop a "hands free card', a small device that allows you to unlock your car and start it without having to touch the handle. It was the first such technology that a car manufacturer could offer to its customers and revolutionized the way that people drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of cars and it is one of the most frequently used features of any car on the road today.

How does it work? The key card is a microprocessor that must be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number that is used to communicate with the car's immobiliser system.

When you hit a button on the remote, the chip inside the key detects this and tells the car to respond in the same manner. This could be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes a Renault an extremely technologically advanced piece of equipment.

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 in a hotel when he tried to use the keys for his room and realized that it would be possible to create keys that lock and start the car by pressing it.
