Renault Clio Car Key Replacement It is best to call an expert locksmith if your renault car key is damaged or has been lost. They can create replacement keys and also disable the old one, making it harder for thieves to get your car. The process is much quicker than going through the main dealer. Keys with chips Keys Renault Clio, a supermini car that was introduced in 1990, is still being manufactured to this day. It is among the most well-known cars in Europe and has been voted European Car of the Year twice. A key to this success is the fact that it offers drivers the convenience of being in a position to lock and start the car with a single key. A transponder chip is embedded inside the head of every key to ensure that only a genuine Renault Clio can be used to unlock and start the vehicle. If your key has been lost, stolen or damaged, Beishir Lock and Security can replace it at less than the cost of a dealer. Transponder chips are small electronic microchips that are incorporated inside the head part of a car key. They get their name from the fact that they are an electronic transmitter and a receiver. When the key is placed into the ignition lock and turned into an antenna ring, the car's immobilizer sends a radio signal to the transponder chip. This chip then responds by sending back a coded message to the antenna ring, which is matched to a serial number stored in the car's immobilizer system and, if correct it allows the engine to start. This is how modern Renault car is designed and is an important security feature to prevent thieves from copying the key that you use to start your car, and then selling it on the black market. The chips aren't powered by a battery and are instead powered by radio signals they receive from the immobilizer. Transponder keys are also sensitive to mechanical shocks and submersion in water, therefore care should be taken when using your key to avoid damage that could be caused by accident. For instance dropping your key on the study surface or submerging it into water will result in the chip being short circuited, and the key will cease to function. A renault clio key is more expensive to replace than a simple non-transponder keys, but the additional manufacturing costs are worth it as it protects your vehicle from theft. Certain manufacturers don't require special equipment to program the new chip key, but this will depend on the model and year of your vehicle. Certain manufacturers, such as Chevrolet and Ford utilize a transponder password which can be copied using an ordinary key programmer. Key Cards Renault key cards let you unlock your car and begin it without needing to insert the key into the lock. Key cards use radio waves to communicate with the car's sensors. They are placed throughout the car to detect the card. If it's close enough the doors will be opened. When the button is pressed and the car is parked, it will switch on the ignition. These keys are extremely popular and simple to use. However, they can be damaged and the card needs to be replaced if this occurs. The hands-free card's simple plastic case is an advanced electronic core that's programmed to continually communicate with the vehicle 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 it's recognised the vehicle unlocks, and unlocks all doors automatically. It locks itself when you remove the card. It is essential to have an extra Renault card in case you lose your primary card. This will allow you to continue driving your vehicle while waiting for a replacement transponder chip, or key fob. If you have lost your keys, it's recommended to look at every place in which you keep them. Also, inform your insurance company as soon as possible so they can find your vehicle. There are companies that specialize in the replacement of Renault keys in case you lose it or it breaks. These experts can make an exact replica of your car key fob for much less than it would cost to go through the dealer. Beishir Lock and Security, for example is a company that carries the largest range of Renault key fobs in the UK and can produce replacements for your keys at less than the cost of the dealer. Immobilisers An immobiliser is a security device that prevents your car 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 but some were fitted by the factory prior to that. If you're not sure if your Renault has one, the best way to check is by consulting a mechanic, or visiting your car manufacturer's website and contacting them. The immobiliser system is activated by sending a signal from the key to a reader within the dashboard, which then analyzes the response by the key. If the codes match, then the car will begin. If not, then the engine won't begin and it will also turn off at least two other functions – usually air conditioning and fuel. If you own a brand newer Renault car the key is likely to have a transponder within its head. This means that only a genuine Renault can activate the immobiliser. If you own an older Renault key, you'll have to replace it by a locksmith to prevent thieves from stealing it from your vehicle. It is important to remember that this system may not be foolproof and sophisticated thieves are able to beat it. For example, in 2014 a researcher named Bokslag was able to hack three different kinds of Renault immobiliser systems for cars in only ten seconds. His method involved the use of an antenna and a laptop to intercept messages sent over the vehicle's CAN bus. You can make the immobiliser on your Renault more secure by keeping your keys in a faraday pouch that blocks signals and keeps them from doors and windows. You can also buy a steering lock that will ensure that your vehicle is not driven with keys. If you're concerned about theft, it's worth consulting your insurance provider to find out if there are any discounts available for installing additional security features. Thatcham Research has a list of security devices that are approved by the company and you could be able to bring your premium down significantly by installing an after-market immobiliser or other mechanical deterrents such as a steering lock. Remote Fobs A key fob is a tiny electronic device that connects to a computer in the vehicle to perform various functions. When the key fob is activated it emits a radio signal that has an unique code. The code is transmitted to a receiver in the car. When the car is able to recognize a code, the driver can unlock or start their car. Depending on the vehicle the key fob could also control features like the panic alarm or other security systems. Most key fobs are designed to let the driver lock and unlock their vehicle remotely. The buttons on the fob can also be used to allow for other functions, such as lowering the windows or starting the engine. Many modern cars have key fobs that control the power sunroof. This feature is particularly beneficial in hot weather, and it can help to keep the interior cool. The key fob is typically a small metal device however some are made of plastic. Some are thin and flat and some are round and include a button on each side. The keys aren't as secure as traditional keys, however they offer a great deal of convenience and security. Key fobs use a technology called rolling codes to prevent hacking and cloning attempts. When a user presses a button the key fob and the car's receiver generate a new code. This makes it virtually impossible for hackers to copy the signal and gain access to the car. Certain older devices can be programmed by the owner, but others require dealer or locksmith programming. Owners are able to program infrared and infrared/radio-frequency systems. Newer fobs, on the contrary, require dealership or locksmith programming using a special tool or software. The latest Renault cars, like the Clio and Megane are equipped with keyless entry systems that can be controlled through a key fob. This is a convenient way to open and start the car, and can also help prevent key theft. A second key fob can also prove useful in the event that one gets lost or damaged.
