Transponder Chips

All modern Renault keys are equipped with transponder (also called"chip-key") "chip-key"). The chip is an electronic micro-circuit that communicates with the car's ECU to open the doors and start the engine. When the car's key is inserted into the ignition, the antenna ring at the ignition emits an impulsive radio frequency energy which then is received by the transponder chip. The chip emits an electronic signal that contains the unique code. The ECU analyzes this code to determine if the key is authorised to drive the vehicle. This could help reduce the risk of theft from cars, since keys aren't just a flat metal key which is easily copied. Instead, they have an additional layer of security to prevent the unauthorised access to your vehicle.

Older cars with no transponder chips were extremely easy to duplicate, and car thieves could easily rob vehicles. Since most cars manufactured after 1995 have a transponder, this type crime is less frequent. This is because the microchip of the car is connected to a specific car and can only be activated when used with the correct keys. If someone tries starting your car with a transponder that hasn't previously been programmed specifically for your vehicle, your ECU will not recognize it and will not switch on.

Car immobilisers are an essential part of your vehicle security. They protect your Renault against theft by preventing it from being started using the wrong key. Since 1998, immobilisers have been mandatory for all new cars in the UK. However, a lot of older vehicles are equipped with them. These devices are a great way to enhance your overall security and could even help lower your insurance premiums.

The first car immobilisers came out in 1992, shortly after most automobile manufacturers began to install them. They are designed to stop the engine from starting when the correct key isn't present or if the transponder chip on the fob is not recognised by the electronic control unit (ECU).

When you insert the smart key into your vehicle, it sends an electronic code to your ECU. This code must be identical to the code required for the engine to turn on. If the codes do not match then the ECU disables several important vehicle components, including the starter motor and fuel system.

If you have an older Renault key that does not include the security feature, you can purchase another key to benefit from this extra layer of protection. But, it is essential to make sure that the new key you buy is Thatcham-approved and has been programmed to be compatible with your specific vehicle.

Many thieves who are tech-savvy have devised methods to bypass immobilisers that are fitted by the factory. These methods include devices that duplicate pin codes that are sent by your key, and then broadcast them to the ECU in order to fool it into thinking that your key is present. This method, also known as relay theft, is a problem for those who own keyless entry vehicles.
