Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that stop your car being hot-wired or driven away without the proper key. They've been required in the UK on all new vehicles since 1998 and are integrated into the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is activated the code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code doesn't match then the ECU disables certain components that are needed to operate the engine and then take the car away. This prevents criminals from using equipment that copies the signal emitted from your key to send it to the ECU of the vehicle so that it can start. This technology has cut down on car thefts significantly as it is very difficult to steal a vehicle equipped with this technology. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums if you've got it fitted. The immobiliser is typically hidden within the head of your car keys and consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil around barrel reads the microchip, and then sends an alert to the ECU. This signal can only be removed using a programmed or removed key.

Key Cards The hands-free card has become an integral feature of Renault's vehicles. This small gadget can be used to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start, but also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and sound sequence. It can even replace keys that are traditional when the driver's not driving. The concept behind the hands-free card dates to 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in a hotel when he saw how easy it was to lock the room using an electronic card. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's automobiles. You will need a card-reader installed in the vehicle's centre console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG program available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has a long-standing reputation for innovation. Renault was the first to create a 'hands-free card', which is a small device which allows you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first such technology that automobile manufacturers could offer to customers and revolutionized the way people drive. Its design made it easier to access and exit automobiles and is one of the most widely utilized features of any car in the market today. How does it function? 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 is also able to transmit its own identification code, which allows it to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car. The chip inside the key detects when you press the button on the remote, and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors, changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is the reason why Renault a very smart piece of technology. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands free card'. He was working on the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to be the modern-day car of the 21st century. He was staying in a hotel when he tried to use the room keys and realised that it would be possible to design keys that lock and start the car just by touching it. The key consists of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as an aluminum key blade. The case can be changed by using a key with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient option if your key has been seriously damaged, such as buttons that have been broken or worn out. However, if you have a new key but it isn't able to start your car, it could be because the immobiliser hasn't been transferred over. To test this, hold the old key in place with the new one and your car should begin.
