Transponder Chips

Modern Renault keys are equipped with transponder (also known as a "chip-key"). The chip is a tiny electronic micro-circuit that communicates with your car's ECU to unlock the doors and then start the engine. When the car's key is placed in the ignition the antenna ring at the ignition emits a burst of radio frequency energy, which is received by the transponder chip. The chip then sends back a signal that has an unique code. The ECU examines the code to determine if the key is authorised to drive the vehicle. This could help reduce theft of cars, since keys aren't just a metal key that can be copied. They have an additional layer of security that blocks any unauthorised access to your car.

The older cars that did not have a transponder chips were easy for thieves to copy and car thieves could easily take them.

If someone attempts to start your car using a transponder which hasn't been programmed to your specific car, the ECU won't recognise it and refuse to switch on.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers for cars are a vital part of vehicle security. They guard your Renault against theft by preventing it from being opened with the wrong key. Immobilisers are required on all new automobiles in the UK since 1998, but many older cars also have them installed. These devices can help improve the security of your vehicle and may even lower your insurance costs.

The first automobile immobilisers were introduced in 1992, and shortly after that, many 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 recognized by the electronic controller unit (ECU).

When you connect the smart key to your vehicle, it will send an electronic code to your ECU. The code you receive must be identical to the code required for the engine to be turned on. If the codes aren't compatible then the ECU will disable several key car components like the starter motor and fuel system.

If you have an older Renault key that doesn't include the security feature, you can buy another key to take advantage of this additional layer of protection. It is important that you ensure that the new key is Thatcham-approved and has been programmed to fit your vehicle.

Some tech-savvy thieves have devised ways to get around anti-immobilisers that are factory fitted. These techniques involve the use of devices that duplicate the pin code from your key, and then broadcast it to the ECU to trick it into believing that your key is present. This method, also known as relay theft, is a major concern for those who have keyless entry vehicles.
