renault car key cover has a long tradition of innovation. It was the company that used remote central locking on a production vehicle. Paul Lipschultz invented this technology for Niemens the automotive manufacturer of security components. This breakthrough was a massive leap in the field of car safety.
Remotes
Hands-free cards from Renault are still used extensively 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 usage rate has been rising in recent years. In this video Pascaline from the Products Division of Renault explains how these cards function.
Renaults come with a complicated immobiliser system, so it's important to be aware of the basics prior to trying to unlock your car without the use of a key. Some cars have an emergency lock that is located on the handle for the passenger door that can be used in the event an unreliable key or battery running out. This is a good choice for those who don't want to pay a locksmith.
You'll also require access to a device such as a pump-up key or a slim jim in order to remove the key fob and gain entry. If you don't own these tools, you might require a screwdriver and hammer to take off the key fob.
You should be able into the passenger door and you will see the small lock inserted into the side panel of the driver close to the handle of the door. This is a security measure to stop people from accidentally stealing an automobile or locking themselves to their own. This is a simple, but efficient security feature that will save you time and stress when you need to get into your car.
Transponders
Many modern vehicles use transponders to stop theft of cars. These small devices, that are connected to the key fob, contain a chip that communicates with the car when it is within the range. The chips utilize a unique code to identify the key and inform it which vehicle it's paired with.
The chip emits a signal that is received by two coils that are placed around the barrels of ignition inside the vehicle. The coils are activated when you turn the key and send an electromagnetic pulse to the chip. The chip responds by sending a unique code to the car. The unique code is used to unlock the doors and begin the engine.
Similar technology was also used in military planes during the World War 2 era to aid air traffic controllers in identifying them on radar. This kind of chip is still in use in the aviation industry.
These systems were thought to be clone-proof until recently. This was due to the fact that there were only 74 Quadrillion (74,000,000,000,000,000) possible codes for each transponder. However, the technology behind these chips has been upgraded and they are now no longer completely invulnerable to cloning. This has led a number of auto locksmiths to upskill their knowledge by learning how to read, write and program these modern chips.
Immobilisers
Renaults are quite complicated in the way that they operate when it comes to their immobilisers as well as keys. There are two broad systems in use that effect the method by which a replacement key will be programmed to the car. The older system utilizes a "kill switch" to disable a vital part of the car's starting mechanism if the proper key is not present. These are extremely delicate and will need a trained technician to correctly detect and fix the issue should they fail.
The newer system is much easier to use. It employs advanced encryption and rolling security codes to prevent copying the code from the ECU or key. This is the code that will be used to replace keys that we supply.
Certain models may even have an exclusive ring antenna that cannot be detected by transponder scanners and is unique to the vehicle. This is a great method to avoid hotwiring and it's also difficult to disable using a standard key or transponder emulator. We have a special product dubbed the Renault Antenna Emulator (RAE) that can be used to bypass this kind of immobiliser in Renault Clio phase 2 models and some Renault commercial vehicles equipped with ID46 transponders. It emulates the operation of a key transponder that is valid inside the ring antenna. It can be used to replace lost or failed keys without the need to disassemble the ECU. It has been approved and tested by Thatcham to offer additional security to motor insurance customers.
