Key Cards

The hands-free card is a crucial component of Renault's popular line of cars. The tiny device can be used to unlock and start the vehicle and also allow drivers to control a variety of other functions, such as the sound and lighting welcome sequence, and it can even act as a replacement for keys for cars that are traditional even 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. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room using the use of a magnet card. He rediscovered the idea and developed it further before making it a standard feature on Renault's models.

To utilize the hands-free cards, you will require a card reader installed in the centre console of the vehicle. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG program available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has long-standing standing as a leader in innovation. They created the first 'hands-free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first such technology that a car manufacturer could offer its customers and changed the way that people drive. Its design made it easy to get in and out of cars. It is among the most popular features of cars today.

How does it work? The key card itself contains a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is accomplished using an instrument that is specifically designed for this purpose, such as the AVDI or PROTAG programmer. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code which is used for communication with the immobiliser of the car.

The chip inside the key detects when you press the button on the remote and instructs the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors, changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault an extremely sophisticated piece of technology.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands-free card'. 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 the hotel when he tried to use the room keys and realized that it was possible to make a key that can lock and start the car by touching it.

The key is made up of an outer case (usually black) with buttons, a transponder chip and an aluminum key blade. The case can be changed by using a key with the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient solution if your key has been severely damaged, for example buttons that have been broken or worn out. If you have a brand new key but it isn't able to start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key in place with the new one and your car should begin.
