Transponder Chips

All modern Renault keys come with a transponder (also known as"chip-key") "chip-key"). The chip is a tiny electronic circuit that communicates with the car's ECU to open the doors and begin the engine. When the car's key is placed in the ignition, the antenna ring on the ignition sends an explosion of radio frequency energy which then is received by the transponder chip. The chip transmits a signal containing a unique code. This code is read by the ECU to determine if the key is valid and should be allowed to operate the vehicle. This could help reduce car theft, as keys aren't simply a flat metal key that can be copied. Instead, they have an additional layer of security that prevents unauthorised access to your vehicle.

Older cars with no transponder chips were extremely simple to duplicate and car thieves could easily rob vehicles. Since most cars manufactured after 1995 have transponders, this kind of crime is much less common. This is because the microchip in the car is connected to a specific car and can only be activated when it is being used with the correct keys.

Immobilisers





Immobilisers for cars are a vital part of security for your vehicle. They prevent your Renault from being re-started with the wrong key, thus protecting your car from theft. Immobilisers are required on all new cars in the UK since 1998, but some older vehicles also have them fitted. These devices can enhance your overall security and could even help lower your insurance costs.

The first automotive immobilisers were introduced in 1992, and the majority of luxury automakers integrated them into their vehicles soon after. They are designed to prevent the engine from starting when the correct key isn't in place or the transponder chip in the fob doesn't get recognised by the electronic controller unit (ECU).

When you connect the smart key to your vehicle, it transmits an electronic code to your ECU. This code must match the code for the engine to turn on. If the codes do not match the ECU disables several key car components like the starter motor and the fuel system.

If you own an older Renault key without the security feature, then you can purchase a new one and benefit from this extra layer of protection. It is important that you make sure the new key is certified by Thatcham, and is designed to fit your vehicle.

Some hackers with the latest technology have developed ways to get around factory-fitted anti-immobilisers. These techniques involve the use of devices that can duplicate the pin code from your key and then broadcast it to the ECU to trick it into believing your key is present. This technique, referred to as relay theft, is a concern for those who have keyless entry vehicles.

You can prevent this by ensuring that your smart key has been properly programmed to work with your vehicle, and keeping it away from suspicious people. It's not a great idea to attempt to reprogram an existing smart key that was programmed for another vehicle. Instead, seek out professional help.
