Renault Clio Replacement Key Renault cars come with a distinct key system that is different from other car manufacturers. Instead of traditional keys which can be converted into a lock, Renault cars use a keycard that can be inserted into the panel reader in the dash. A button is press to activate the card. It can be lengthy and costly to obtain a replacement key from the main dealer if you only have one Renault key. We keep Renault keys and cards in stock so can get you back on the road fast. Transponder Chips Renault offers a variety of keys locks and immobilisers. The newer systems, which were introduced in 2000, include transponder chips. These are tiny circuits within the key that send signals to the computer system of the car If the signal is not received, it will stop the engine from starting. This is a fantastic security measure to ensure your vehicle is not stolen and only you are able to start it. A replacement key that has transponder chips is a bit more expensive than an ordinary non-transponder key this is because of the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit within the key, however this does not mean you will have to pay the full amount. You can find a locksmith who can create an alternative key with a transponder Chip at the price that is lower than you would be paying at the dealership. Many Renault owners who have lost their keys or cards believe that the only way to get them back is to visit their dealer. This could be a long process and you could be waiting some time to receive your new key. Instead, you can speak to a locksmith who will be able to make you an alternative Renault key at a much lower cost and in a fraction of the time it takes an auto dealer to make it. Keys and key cards can become damaged or fail, usually due to the internal workings of the card breaking and cracking over time. Some Renault key repair experts can repair these cards, but this is only an interim fix. The card will likely fail in the near future. A professional locksmith will be able to remove the chip from your old key and use laptop software to program a new key to your Renault car. This will allow your remote to function again and allow you to start the vehicle as normal. This will also help to keep your car safe from theft, as only the correct key will work to activate the immobiliser. Immobilisers Immobilisers prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new cars since 1998 and are included in the fobs or keys of your car. They work by sending an electronic code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the vehicle is started. If the code doesn't match, then the ECU disables certain components that are required to operate the engine and then drive the car away. This stops criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key, and then transmit it to the car's ECU to ensure that it can begin. This technology has reduced car thefts significantly as it is very difficult to steal a vehicle with this technology installed. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums when you have it fitted. The immobiliser system is usually located inside the head of your car key. It consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. A coil around the barrel reads the chip and then sends a signal to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using an authorised key or dismantling the chip from the key. The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied by special devices. The most recent versions utilize shifting or rolling codes that can only be duplicated with the appropriate technology. This has boosted the effectiveness of these systems and it is crucial that only professionals who have been approved by Thatcham Research install these anti-theft devices. If you have a Renault Clio key or card that isn't working it might be necessary to program it again.

Key Cards The hands-free card is a crucial element in Renault's popular range of cars. The small device can be used to open and start the car and also allow drivers to control a variety of other functions, like the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and can even be used as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional when the driver is not driving. The concept behind the hands-free card dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was planning to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock his room using a magnetic card. He adapted the idea and developed it further, eventually making it an integral feature of Renault's models. To use the hands-free card, you need a card reader that is mounted in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG programmes available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has had a long-standing reputation for innovation. It was the first company to develop a “hands free card', which is a small device which allows you unlock your car and begin it without having to touch the handle. It was the first such technology that automobile manufacturers could offer its customers and revolutionized the way people drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of cars. It is one of the most sought-after features of a car today. What is the procedure? The key card has an internal microprocessor which must be programmed for the vehicle. This is done with an specialized programer like the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which allows it to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car. When you press a button on your remote, the chip inside the key detects this and informs the car to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors, changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes Renault an extremely sophisticated piece of technology. The “hands-free card” was the brainchild of a design group led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon named the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in a hotel and tried to use his room keys. He realized that he could create an ignition key that could secure the vehicle and then start it by just touching it. The key consists of an outer case (usually black) with buttons, a transponder chip and the key blade made of plastic. The case can be replaced with the new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is simple to do and is a good option in the event that the key has sustained serious damage, like if the buttons have broken off or worn away. If you have a brand new key 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 close to the new one and the car should start.
