Key Cards

The hands-free card is a key component in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget is used to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start, but also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It could even replace an old-fashioned key when the driver's not driving. The hands-free cards were first conceived in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using magnetic cards. He adapted the idea and further developed it and eventually made it the standard feature on all Renault models.

You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's central console to use the handsfree card. The reader and the key card can be programmed with the AVDI or PROTAG software available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has always had a reputation for its ingenuity. They produced the first 'hands-free card', a tiny device that lets you unlock and start your car without having to touch the door handle. It was the first time a car maker could offer such a feature to its customers, and it revolutionised the way that drivers drove. Its design made it easy to get in and out of cars. It is among the most sought-after features of cars in the present.

How does it function? The key card has an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed for the vehicle. This is accomplished using an specialized programer like the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification code, which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car.

The chip inside the key is able to detect the moment you press the button on the remote, and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This can be anything from opening doors to switching radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes a Renault an extremely technologically advanced piece of equipment.

Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who designed the 'hands free card'. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st Century. He was in a hotel when he tried to use the room keys and realized that it would be possible to make keys that lock and start the car just by pressing it.

The key is comprised of an outer case (usually black) with buttons along with a transponder chip as well as the key blade made of plastic. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. It's simple and a good option if the key has had some serious damage, for example buttons that have broken off or have worn away. If you do have a new key and it isn't able to start your car, it is likely because the immobiliser hasn't been transferred to the new key. To test this, place the old key close to the new one. The car should begin.
