Since 1998, they have been mandatory in the UK for all new vehicles. They are integrated into the keys or fobs of your car. When the key is pressed, a code is sent to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). If the code doesn't match then the ECU disables certain components that are required to start the engine and take the car away. This prevents criminals from using specialized devices that copy the signal generated by your key to transmit it to the ECU of the vehicle to allow it to start. This technology has decreased car thefts significantly as it is extremely difficult to steal a vehicle that has this technology installed. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums if you have it fitted. The immobiliser is usually hidden in the head of the car key.

A coil around the barrel reads the chip and sends an indication to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated using a programmed key or by taking the chip off the key.

Key Cards The hands-free card has become an integral feature of Renault's range of cars. This tiny device is used to open the vehicle and then start it however it also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It is even able to replace a traditional key when the driver isn't driving. The hands-free card was first developed in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch their Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and was amazed at how easy it was to lock a room using magnetic cards. He developed the idea further and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's automobiles. You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's central console to make use of the handsfree card. The reader and the key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has a long-standing reputation for innovation. Renault was the first to develop a “hands free card', a tiny device that lets you unlock your car and start it without having to touch the handle. It was the first time a manufacturer of a car could offer such a technology to its customers, and it revolutionised the way drivers drive. Its design made it easier to get into and out of cars and it is one of the most commonly used features in any car in the market today. What exactly is it? The key card is an internal microprocessor which must be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number, which allows it to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The chip inside the key detects the moment you press the button on the remote and instructs the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes the Renault a highly technologically advanced piece of equipment. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who created the 'hands-free card'. He was working on a saloon called the Laguna II that was supposed to be the car of lifestyle for the 21st Century. He was staying in a hotel when he tried to use the keys for his room and realized that it would be possible to make a key that can lock and start the car just by pressing it. The key is comprised of an outer casing (usually black), buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and a plastic blade. The key case can be replaced by a an alternative key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. This is an easy and efficient option for keys that have been severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been broken or worn out. If you have a brand new key but it isn't able to start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test this, hold the old key close to the new one and the car will begin.
