If your key is stolen, lost or damaged, Beishir Lock and Security can replace it at less than the cost of an dealer. Transponder chips are tiny electronic microchips that are incorporated in the head of the car key. They get their name from the fact that they are a transmitter and receiver. The transponder chip receives a radio signal from the antenna ring of the immobilizer when the key is turned on to the ignition lock. renault keys responds by sending an encrypted message to the antenna ring, that is matched with an immobilizer serial number in the car's immobilizer system and, if it is correct permits the engine to start. This is the way modern Renault is constructed. It is a crucial security measure to deter thieves from copying your keys and using it to start your car, and then selling it on black market. The chips aren't powered by a battery but are instead powered by radio signals that they receive from the immobilizer. Transponder keys can also be damaged by mechanical shocks or submersion in the water. Therefore, you must be cautious when using your key. Dropping your key on a surface or submerging in water can cause the chip to short circuit and the key to no longer function. A renault clio key is more expensive to replace than a basic non-transponder key, however the extra costs for manufacturing are worth it because it helps to protect your car from theft. Some manufacturers don't require specialized equipment to program the new chip key, however, this will depend on the model and year of your car. Certain manufacturers, such as Chevrolet and Ford employ a transponder-based password which can be copied using an ordinary key programmer. Key Cards Renault key cards let you unlock your car and start it without having to insert the key into the lock. The key card makes use of radio waves to communicate with the car's sensors. These are located all over the car to locate the card, and if it's close enough the doors will open. The car will also start its engine when the button is pressed. These keys are very popular and simple to use. However, they could be damaged and the card will need to be replaced if that occurs. Behind the simple plastic case is a sophisticated electronic core that's programmed to continually 'communicate' with the car it's connected to. When it's approached, it emits a radio signal containing an access code that's verified by receiver-transmitters in the vehicle. If the code is recognized the car unlocks, it opens its doors instantly and closes itself when the card is removed. It is crucial to have an extra Renault card in the event that you lose your primary card. This will let you continue driving your vehicle while waiting for a replacement transponder chip, or key fob. If your keys have been lost, make sure you check all the places you normally keep them, and inform your insurance company immediately so that they can locate your vehicle. If you do lose your Renault key card or it breaks, there are many companies that specialise in making replacements. They can make an exact copy of your key fob for a lower cost than going through the dealer. Beishir Lock and Security, for example, is a company which has the largest collection of Renault key fobs in the UK and can create replacements for you at less than the cost of the dealer. Immobilisers An immobiliser is a security device that stops your vehicle from starting if your key has the wrong code or is being used to start it illegally. They have been mandatory in cars since 1998 in England and Wales, although some were fitted by the factory prior to that. You can determine if your Renault has one by contacting your mechanic or visiting the website of your car manufacturer and getting in touch with them. The immobiliser system is activated by sending a signal to a reader on the dashboard. The reader receives the response from the key. If the codes match, the car will start. If not, the engine won't begin and it will also disable at least two other functions – usually fuel and air conditioning. If you own a newer Renault key, it is likely that the key is equipped with a transponder chip inside the head of it and the immobiliser system is only activated with authentic Renault key. If you own an older Renault key, you will need to get it replaced by a locksmith to keep thieves from stealing it for your vehicle. It's important to keep in mind that this system may not be foolproof, and more sophisticated thieves could still be able to defeat it. For example, in 2014 a researcher named Bokslag cracked three different types of Renault vehicle immobilisers in less than ten seconds. His method involved a laptop and an antenna to intercept messages sent via the vehicle's CAN-bus. There are a few things you can do to make your Renault's immobiliser system more secure, such as storing your keys away from windows and doors and storing them in a signal-blocking faraday pouch. You can also purchase an ignition lock that will stop your car from being driven if the keys are removed from it. If you're concerned about theft, then it's a good idea talk to your insurance provider and see if they offer any discounts for having additional security features added. Thatcham Research maintains a list of approved security devices. You may be able reduce your insurance premiums by installing an immobiliser from the aftermarket or other mechanical deterrents like a steering locking. Remote Fobs A key fob, a small electronic device that communicates with the vehicle's computer in order to perform different functions. When a keyfob is activated it emits radio signals with an unique code. The code is transmitted to a receiver inside the car. Once the car recognizes the code, the driver can open or start their car. The key fob can also control other features like the panic alarm as well as other security systems. The majority of key fobs allow drivers to lock and unlock cars remotely. The buttons on the fob can also be used to allow for other functions, including lowering the windows or launching the engine. Many modern cars are fitted with a key fob which can also control the power sunroof. This feature is especially useful during a hot day and keep the interior cool. The key fob is typically small in size but some are made of plastic. Some are thin and flat and some are round and have a button on each side. These keys aren't as secure as traditional ones but they do provide convenience and safety. Key fobs use a technology known as rolling codes to stop hacking and cloning attempts. When a user presses a button, the key fob as well as the car's receiver generate a new code. This makes it nearly impossible for criminals to duplicate the signal and gain access to the car. Some older key fobs may be programmed by the owner, whereas others require an authorized locksmith or dealer to perform the task. The ones that can be programmed by the owner include ones that use infrared or radio frequency systems that use infrared or radio frequencies. The latest fobs require a locksmith or dealer to program them using specific tool or software. The most recent Renault cars, such as the Clio and Megane are equipped with keyless entry systems that are controlled via a key fob. This is a convenient way to unlock and start the car and can also help stop key theft. It is also beneficial to have spare key fobs in case one is lost or damaged.
