Transponder Chips Modern Renault keys are equipped with a transponder (also called”chip-key”) “chip-key”). The chip is a micro-circuit that communicates with the ECU of your car to unlock doors and begin the motor. When you insert your car keys into the ignition, an antenna ring sends a burst radio frequency energy to the transponder. The chip sends out a signal containing the unique code. The code is read by the ECU to determine whether the key is legitimate and should be allowed to operate the vehicle. This could help reduce theft of cars, since keys aren't just a metal key which is easily copied. They have an additional layer of security to prevent any unauthorised access to your car. The older cars that did not have a transponder chip were easy to duplicate and thieves could easily steal them. Since most cars manufactured after 1995 have transponders, this kind of crime is much less common. This is because the microchip in the car is linked to a specific vehicle and is only activated when it is being utilized with the correct key. If someone attempts to start your car with a transponder that hasn't previously been programmed to your specific vehicle, your ECU won't recognise it and won't start. Locksmiths can add a transponder chip to an existing key fairly quickly. Locksmiths use special equipment to duplicate your key, and then add the transponder chip.

These other types of key offer more functionality and security than a standard metal key, so they tend to be more expensive to replace. Immobilisers Immobilisers for your car are an important part of the security of your vehicle. They protect your Renault against theft by preventing it from being started using the wrong key. Since 1998, immobilisers are mandatory for all new cars in the UK. However, many older cars have them. These devices can enhance your overall security and can even lower the cost of insurance. The first automobile immobilisers were introduced in 1992, and soon after, the majority of automobile manufacturers began to install them. They are designed to prevent the engine from starting if the correct key isn't present or the transponder chip in the fob isn't recognised by the electronic controller unit (ECU). When you insert the smart key into your vehicle, it will send an electronic code to your ECU. This code must match the code for the engine to start. If the codes do not match then the ECU disables a number of key vehicle components such as the starter motor as well as the fuel system. If you have an older Renault key that doesn't include the security feature, you can buy an alternative key to take advantage of this extra layer of protection. However, it is important to ensure that the new key you buy is Thatcham-approved and is programmed to work with the specific vehicle you have. Many thieves who are tech-savvy have developed ways to bypass immobilisers fitted by manufacturers. These tricks are based on devices that copy pin codes that are sent by your key and then broadcast them to the ECU to fool it into thinking that your key is present. This technique is referred to as relay theft and is a common issue for those who own modern-day keyless entry and start-up vehicles. You can stop this from happening by ensuring that your smart key is properly programmed to work with your vehicle, and keeping it away from suspicious people. It's not a good idea to try to reprogram an existing smart key that was programmed for another vehicle. Instead, you should seek professional assistance.
