Renault Key Replacement

Many Renault owners value the peace of mind a spare card or key can provide. If you've lost the only key or card it is worth attempting to get it replaced by your Renault dealer.

However, this is often costly and time-consuming. A better option is to talk to an expert auto locksmith.

Chipped Keys

If your car is a new model it will almost certainly contain a transponder chip. This is an excellent anti-theft measure as it means that only the key that has the correct information will be able to start your vehicle.

When you turn your key in the ignition, the chip sends signals to the car's ECU which then checks the serial number that is stored on the chip with the one stored in the vehicle. If they match the immobilizer will be disengaged and the car will begin. The ECU will ignore the key if it does not have the correct serial number.

If you look closely at the key, you can determine if it is equipped with a microchip. The hole in the head is often offset to one side. This is because it can accommodate the microchip. The chip was placed in the middle of the key's head on older keys. You can also check by using a transponder scanner which will read the data stored on the chip and display it on the screen.

Renault keys that have transponder chips require special equipment for copying. This is in contrast to older keys made of metal, which could be copied by any locksmith. The technician will need to use specific programming methods to ensure that the copied keys work in your car.

Magnetic Stripe - these are the most commonly used, and have a black strip that is swiped downwards on the reader to allow access. Radio Frequency - these are like magstripe cards, but operate over an extremely short distance, typically less than 10 centimeters. Hole Punches - These are on the way out, but were very popular in the past. Unique combinations of holes would be punched to generate an access code.

Based on the type of Renault key card, it may have many options that make it either easier or more difficult to use. For example, some have a button that could be hit to start the engine, or others have a screen which displays an on-board diagnostics (OBD) report.

Locksmiths can access a huge supply of new Renault key cards that can be programmed to a specific vehicle for less than the cost that a dealer would charge.

Transponder Chips

All modern Renault keys come with transponder (also known as a "chip-key"). The chip is a tiny electronic micro-circuit that communicates with your car's ECU to open the doors and then start the engine. When your car key is inserted into the ignition, the antenna ring on the ignition sends out an impulsive radio frequency energy, which reaches the transponder chip. The chip sends out a signal containing a unique code. The ECU examines the code to determine if the key is legitimate to drive the vehicle. This can help reduce the chance of car theft as the keys aren't merely a flat metal key that is easily copied and easily, but instead have an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorised access to the vehicle.

The older cars without transponder chips were easy to copy and car thieves could easily take the transponder chip. Since the majority of cars built after 1995 have a transponder, this type crime is less frequent. This is because the car's microchip is uniquely linked to a specific vehicle and is only activated when it is being used with the correct keys. If someone attempts to start your car using a transponder which hasn't been programmed for your particular vehicle, your ECU will not recognize it and will not switch on.

Locksmiths can add a transponder chip to the existing key in a short time. A locksmith will use special equipment to duplicate your existing key and then add the transponder chip. The cost of this service is contingent on the year, model and make of the vehicle.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers for your vehicle are an important part of vehicle security. They stop your Renault from being started by the wrong key, thus protecting your car from theft. Immobilisers have been required on all new vehicles in the UK since 1998, but some older vehicles also have them fitted. These devices can improve your overall car security and could even help lower your insurance premiums.

The first automobile immobilisers were introduced in 1992, shortly after, the majority of luxury automakers began installing them. They are designed to stop the engine from starting when the correct key is not present or when the transponder chip inside the fob is not recognised by the electronic control unit (ECU).

When you connect the smart key to your vehicle, it transmits a code to your ECU. This code must match the code that allows the engine to turn on. If the codes don't match, the ECU disables a number of key car components like the starter motor and the fuel system.

If you own an older Renault key that does not have the security feature, then you can purchase a replacement key for renault trafic van and benefit from this extra layer of security. It is crucial to make sure that the new key you purchase is certified by Thatcham and has been programmed to work with the specific vehicle you have.

A few thieves with a technological edge have devised methods to bypass immobilisers that are fitted by the factory. These methods involve devices that can copy pin codes generated by your keys, and then broadcast them to the ECU in order to trick it into thinking your key is in the vehicle. This technique, referred to as relay theft, is a concern for those who own keyless entry vehicles.
