Immobilisers

Immobilisers prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven with a non-existent key. They've been required in the UK on all new cars since 1998. They are included in the fobs or keys of your car. When the key is activated, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code is not the identical then the ECU disables certain components needed to start the engine and drive away the vehicle.

This is a way to stop criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal generated by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU and it can begin. This technology has decreased car thefts by a significant amount since it is very difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies typically offer discounts on premiums when you have it installed.

The immobiliser mechanism is usually located inside the head of your car key and comprises a microchip that is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel detects the microchip and transmits a message to the ECU. This signal can only be removed with a programmed or removed key.

The earliest Renault models included static codes that could be easily copied by special devices. Modern versions employ rolling or changing codes that can only be duplicated by the proper technology. This has greatly improved the effectiveness of these systems and is why it is essential to only have such anti-theft devices fitted by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Renault has had a long-standing reputation for innovation.

This can include anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes a Renault an extremely intelligent piece of technology.

The "hands-free card" was the brainchild of a design team led by Bernard Dumondel. 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 an hotel and was attempting to use his room keys. He realized he could make keys that would unlock and start the car by just touching it.
