Renault key cards are electronic devices that be more than just used to unlock doors and start the engine. They can be used to store information and even act as a "car passport".
The development and origins of the hands-free card
The hands-free card is one of those inventions that has changed the way people use their cars. The hands-free card is a tiny device, no bigger than the standard credit card which has revolutionized the way we drive, unlock the car and get in to change the music and even the temperature. This is the story about how a small device has led to major changes and is continually evolving to meet the demands of new generations.
The first hands-free device from Renault was launched in 2001. It was designed to be an alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer greater comfort and safety in use, as well being able to reduce time spent in the workshop as it allows technicians to monitor car status remotely.
To do this, it emits a radio signal when the driver approaches the car, which is detected by receiver-transmitters located throughout the vehicle. If the card is present, the car recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range, the system will periodically ping the card to check if it still has an access code. This could take as little as 80 milliseconds.
But the system was not without its flaws. renault captur key G28CarKeys found it difficult to wash their cards. If the card was placed in your trouser pocket, it is very easy to rest your hand on it. This can cause it to be deactivated.
Renault engineers and designers and engineers "reworked" the design to make it watertight. And they added an extra layer of security to protect against unintentional locking The card was fitted with a microswitch that activated and deactivated the immobiliser as quickly it was near or left the car.
This second generation hands-free card is fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It improved the quality of Laguna II which was awarded a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP's crash tests. It was also utilized in the third-generation Clio. This model was bigger and more spacious, and was equipped with features that appealed to drivers who were young.
The hands-free card in the Espace V
In an effort to guarantee its customers the highest standard of quality, Renault's Douai plant has been working to establish new processes. This, in turn, has allowed craftspeople to look afresh at their skills. They now benefit, for example from a method known as full kitting. This guarantees that each technician has an assortment of parts that are suited to the specific specifications of the vehicle for they are working.
The simple plastic case of the hands-free card hides an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to continually 'communicate' with the car it is paired with. It emits a confirmation signal each time the driver approaches the car. If the card responds positively, it unlocks the door immediately.
It also enables the seats to fold down - individually or as a complete unit with a single click. The operation is easy and a little like dominoes being flipped and the system operates even when the headrests are in position. The seats then disappear into the floor, leaving behind the space for transporting luggage.
The Espace V is not only innovative in its seating design, but also features a range of clever storage solutions. A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox that is located opposite the front seat passenger into a large storage space with 12 litres of capacity that is stylish and easily accessible. The same principle applies to the center console, which features a spacious hidden compartment that houses the hands-free device and a mobile phone.
Renault has decided to keep hands-free cards in existence despite the fact smartphones are set to replace them. This is because the card accessory has many advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can be used in bad weather conditions. Another advantage is that it is not as vulnerable to hacking. It does this because it uses a unique identification code, which only the vehicle knows. The hands-free card can be used with all Renault models including the ZOE Clio Scenic Kadjar Megane.
The hands-free option in the Laguna II
This small device, which is barely bigger than a credit card's size has revolutionized the way we use our cars. The hands-free cards has become a symbol for Renault, and one of its most innovative products.
The simple plastic case lies an intricate electronic core. It is programmed so that it is constantly communicating with the vehicle with which it is linked. The card emits an access code whenever the car is near. The car will then open the doors if it recognises the card. The whole process takes less than 80 milliseconds.
The hand-free cards also store information about the serial number registration, owner, the equipment, and the mileage of the car. This reduces the amount of time one will take to workshop if something goes wrong. It also means that the mechanic can determine the issue by reviewing the information on the hands-free card.
As with any electronic component, the hands-free card is susceptible to issues and some of them could be extremely serious. The memory of the hands-free device can be lost if the vehicle hasn't been driven for a period of time. This will prevent it from unlocking the door locks and also starting the engine. The ignition key also won't work. The problem can be fixed by a simple reset of the hand-free card, however they will not prevent it from becoming faulty in the future.
Another common issue with the hands-free card is a lack of buttons. Many drivers are prone to forget to lock or unlock doors when they put the card in their pocket, which can be irritating when they need to leave their vehicle without having to use their hands. It is possible to solve this problem by creating a second button on the hands-free card, but it isn't easy to find a card that is compatible for a reasonable price.
Renault has increased the durability of their hands-free cards. The new Renault Megane and Renault Laguna have cards that are more resistant to being damaged.

The hands-free card that is included in the Clio
In the years that been since, Renault have worked hard to improve their hands-free cards, both in terms of how it looks and the technology within. Their efforts have paid off, as the cards are now so user-friendly that even younger drivers can use them with ease. The newest models are even more efficient at detecting the presence of drivers. They have more efficient aerials that can detect the proximity of the card holder, regardless of where they are in a 360-degree space around the vehicle. They also have a welcome routine that is triggered when the car senses the card's proximity. The handles on the flush doors are usually concealed within the car body - then pop out and the cover for the charging port opens automatically.
If the card is in close proximity to the vehicle it pings the vehicle with an access code. The car scans the code, and if the code is found to match, it unlocks the vehicle and closes the doors and boot. All of this happens in 80 milliseconds which is more than a blink of an eye. If the card is removed from the vicinity of the vehicle, the on-board computer continues to ping the card on regular intervals to see whether it is still within the area. If the card fails to respond then the doors and boot are locked once more.
The presence of the hands free card can also trigger a number of other functions, including locking doors or horns, turning off the lighting and lower windows. The card can also be used to store details like the serial number, registration number, owner information, equipment, and mileage. It's similar to an auto passport.
While the Renault hands-free card is a convenient and safe method of controlling the car's functions but it should never be placed in the vicinity of animals or children as they could pose a danger risk by initiating the engine or activating devices like the electric windows. The hands-free device shouldn't be placed in hot, humid or cold conditions because it could damage the circuitry.
