Renault key cards are electronic devices that can be more than just used to unlock doors and start the engine. They can be used to store information and act as a 'car passport'.

The history and evolution of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is just one of those inventions that has changed how people use their cars. A tiny device - no bigger than a credit card - that has revolutionised the ways we drive, unlock and enter the car, change the lighting as well as the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how a tiny object has brought huge changes and is always evolving to meet the latest needs.

Renault introduced its first hands-free card in 2001. It was created to be a better replacement for the traditional key. It was said to offer greater comfort and safety in use, as well being able to reduce time spent in the workshop, by allowing technicians to monitor car status remotely.

To do this, it emits a radio signal when the driver approaches the car, which is detected by receiver-transmitters located throughout the vehicle. If the card is present, the car identifies it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is not in range, it will ping it regularly to see whether it still has the access code - it could take as little as 80 milliseconds, or less than the blink of an eye.

However, the system was not without glitches. Some customers complained that washing the cards an absolute pain. If the card was placed in your trouser pockets it is easy to accidentally sit on it. This could cause it to become deactivated.

In order to address these issues, the Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom", to ensure that it was waterproof. They also added an additional layer of security to guard against unintentional locking: the card was equipped with a microswitch that activated and deactivated the immobiliser as soon as it approached or left the car.

The second generation hands-free card is added to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped improve the quality of Laguna II which was awarded 5 stars in Euro NCAP's crash tests. It was also used in the third generation Clio. This model was larger and more spacious and was equipped with features that were appealing to young drivers.

The Espace V comes with a hands-free card.

Renault's Douai factory is striving to implement new procedures to provide the best quality for its customers. This work has also enabled craftspeople to look afresh at their abilities. They now benefit, for example, from a procedure called full kitting. This means that every technician is equipped with a set of parts corresponding to the specific specifications of the vehicle on which they are working.

The minimalist plastic case conceals a sophisticated electronic core. It is programmed to ensure that it constantly 'communicates' with the car with which it is linked. Whenever  renault clio key fob replacement  approaches the vehicle it 'pings' it and emits a verification signal. If the card responds positively, it automatically unlocks the doors.

It also enables the seats to fold down - individually or as a whole unit - at a click. The system is easy to use, similar to a set of dominos. It is also compatible with the headrests still in place. The seats disappear into the floor leaving behind a space ideal for luggage.

The Espace V is not only unique in its seating, it also comes with a variety of clever storage solutions. To the left of the front passenger, a practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' transforms the glove box into a 12-litre storage space that is stylish and accessible. The same concept is applied to the centre console, which has an ample compartment hidden behind which houses the hands-free device and a mobile phone.

Despite the fact that smartphones appear to be on the verge of replacing the hands-free card Renault has decided to not let it go to the back of the pack. This is because the accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can be used even in bad weather conditions. Another advantage is that it is less susceptible to hacking. It uses a unique code that only the vehicle can be aware of. The hands-free card is compatible with all Renault models including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

At first, it was thought of as an item worthy of 007, the small device - barely larger than a credit-card has revolutionized the way we drive. The hands-free cards have become a symbol of Renault, and one of its most innovative products.

The minimalist plastic case lies an intricate electronic core. It is programmed to ensure that it is constantly communicating with the vehicle with which it is linked. The card emits an access code whenever the car is in close proximity. If the car is able to recognize it, it will open the doors. The entire procedure takes less than eight milliseconds.

The hand-free card also stores details on the car's serial and registration, owner, the vehicle's equipment and mileage. This helps reduce the amount of time it has to spend in the workshop if something goes wrong. It also allows the mechanic to determine the issue by looking up the information on the hands-free card.

Hands-free cards can be prone to problems and some could be serious. The memory of the hands-free card can be lost if the car is not driven for a long time. This will stop it from opening the door locks or starting the engine. The ignition key may also stop working. These problems can be solved by a simple reset of the hand-free device, but they will not prevent it from becoming faulty in the future.

Another common problem with the hands-free card is the absence of buttons. It is not uncommon for drivers to lock or open their doors unintentionally by putting their card in their pockets. This can be extremely annoying when they are trying to leave their vehicle using their hands. This issue can be addressed by programming a second key for the hands-free cards. However, finding a card that is compatible at a reasonable cost can be difficult.

The hands-free card that is included in the Clio

Their efforts have paid off as the cards are now so user friendly that even young drivers can use them easily. The latest models are even more effective at detecting drivers' presence. They have more effective aerials that can detect the location of the card holder regardless of the 360-degree space around the vehicle. They also have a welcome program that activates when the car senses the card approaching. The flush door handles are usually hidden in the car body are then able to emerge. The cover for the charging port is also unlocked automatically.

The card will contact the vehicle when it's close enough. The car scans the code and if it is found to match, it unlocks the vehicle and closes the doors and boot. The whole process takes just 80 milliseconds, which is faster than the blink of an eye. The computer on board will continue to contact the chip at regular intervals when the card is moved away from the vehicle. If the card fails to respond, the doors and boot are locked once more.

Many other functions are also activated through the hands-free card. These include locking the doors, activating the horn and lights, and closing the windows.

The Renault hands-free is a practical and safe method to control the car's systems. However, it should not be left in close proximity to animals or children since they could start the engine or activate devices such as the electronic windows, which could create a safety risk. Similarly, the hands-free card should not be used in hot, cold or humid environments as it could damage the circuitry.
