Renault has a long and rich history of innovation. It was the first company to have utilized remote central locking on a production car. Paul Lipschultz invented this technology for Niemens the automotive manufacturer of security components. This innovation was a big leap in the direction of safety for cars.
Remotes
The hands-free cards of Renault are still widely used in their vehicles, despite the fact that smartphones appear to be replacing them. In fact, they’re used in the majority of vehicles Renault sells, and their use has increased in recent years. In this video, Pascaline of Renault’s products division explains the most important components of these cards and explains how they work.
Renaults have an immobiliser mechanism that is a bit complicated. It is important to understand the basics before trying to unlock a car without a key. Certain cars have an emergency lock on the handle of the door for passengers that can be utilized in the event of an unreliable key or battery failure. This is a solution for those who do not want to pay a professional locksmith.
You’ll require a tool such as an a-slim jim or pump-up if you want to remove the key fob. If you don’t own these tools, you might have to use the screwdriver and hammer to remove the cylinder.
You should be able to walk through the passenger door and you will see a small lock inserted into the driver’s side panel next to the door handle. This is a safety measure to stop people from accidentally stealing an automobile or locking themselves to their own. It’s a simple but efficient security feature that will make life easier when you have to swiftly get into your car.
Transponders
A lot of modern cars have transponders to stop theft of cars. These small devices are fitted to the key fob. They contain an embedded chip that communicates with the car whenever it is within range. These chips employ a unique code to identify the key and tell it what vehicle it is associated with.
The chip sends an electronic signal to a pair of coils which are placed around the ignition barrel of the vehicle. The coils are activated when the key is within range and send a pulse of electromagnetic energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by sending an unique identification code to the car. The unique code is used to unlock the doors and start the engine.
During World War 2, a similar technology was used to help air traffic control detect military planes on radar. The aviation industry still utilizes this kind of chip message.
For a long time, these systems were considered to be clone-proof. This was due to the fact that there were only 74 Quadrillion (74,000,000,000,000,000) possible codes for each transponder. But the technology behind these chips has since been improved and they are now not completely clone-proof. This has led many auto locksmiths to upskill their knowledge by learning how to read and write code for these more advanced chips.
Immobilisers
Renaults can be a bit complex in the area of immobilisers and key systems. There are two major systems that affect the way keys are programmed into the car. The older system utilizes an “kill switch” that connects to one of the important car’s starting components in order to disable it in the event that the right key is not present. They are very delicate and require a skilled technician to identify and fix the issue if they fail.
The newer system is more user-friendly to use. It uses rolling security codes and advanced cryptography to thwart copying of the code from the key or ECU. This is the code that will be used to replace keys we provide.
Certain models even come with an exclusive ring antenna that can’t be detected by the standard transponder scanners. It is also unique to the vehicle. This is very effective at stopping hotwiring and is extremely difficult to disable by using a standard key or a transponder emulator. We have a specialized product called the Renault Antenna Emulator (RAE) that we can use to bypass this type of immobiliser in Renault Clio phase 2 models, as well as in some Renault commercial vehicles with ID46 transponders. It works by mimicking operation of a functioning transponder inside the ring antenna. It can be used for failed keys or lost keys without removing the ECU. It is Thatcham tested and certified to provide additional security for motor insurance customers.
