The first models (typically from 2000 to around 2000) utilize keys that aren’t programmed to the vehicle simply by plugging in a tester and pressing a button as many other key fobs you can purchase from Ebay. These type of systems need special tools and software to program the replacement key.
In more modern Renaults the key card has undergone several changes in regards to how it appears and what is inside it.
