This technology was invented by Paul Lipschultz for his employer Niemens who supply security components to the automotive industry. This was a major leap for car safety. Remotes Despite the fact that smartphones seem to be close to replacing their hands-free cards, the hand-free cards from Renault are still widely used in their vehicles. In fact, they're included in two of the three vehicles Renault sells, and their usage has increased in recent years. In this video Pascaline from the Product Division of Renault describes how these cards work. Renaults have a fairly complicated immobiliser, making it important to understand the basics before trying to unlock a car with a key. Some cars come with an emergency lock on the handle for the passenger door that can be used in the event an unreliable key or battery running out. This is a good option for those who do not want to pay for a locksmith. You'll need a tool, such as an a-slim jim or pump-up if you wish to remove the key fob. If you don't have these tools, you may need to use an hammer and screwdriver to remove the cylinder. You should be able to walk to the door for the passenger and see a small lock in the driver's panel next to the handle. This is a measure of security to prevent people from accidentally stealing another vehicle or locking themselves to their own. This is a simple but effective security feature that can save you time and stress when you have to swiftly get into your vehicle. Transponders Transponders are a common feature on modern cars to help protect against car theft. These small devices, which are connected to the fob of the key, contain a chip and communicate with the car when it is within the range. These chips use a unique code to identify the key and tell it which vehicle it is linked with. The chip transmits a signal to a pair coils which are placed around the ignition barrel of the vehicle. The coils are activated when the key is within range and transmit a pulse of electromagnetic energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by sending back an identification code unique to the car. The unique code is used to unlock the doors, and to start the engine. In World War 2, a similar technology was used to aid air traffic control to identify military aircrafts using radar. The aviation industry is still using this kind of chip message. Up until recently, these systems were considered to be invulnerable to cloning. This was due to the fact that there were only 74 Quadrillion (74,000,000,000,000,000) possible codes for each transponder. However, the technology behind these chips has since been improved and they are not completely invulnerable to cloning. This has led many locksmiths who work in autos to increase their knowledge by learning how to read, write and program these modern chips. Immobilisers The Renault is a bit muddled when it comes to immobilisers and key systems. There are two major systems that affect the way the new key is programmed into the car. The older system utilizes a kill switch that connects to one of the crucial car starting parts in order to disable it if the right key is not present. They are extremely delicate and require a skilled technician to identify and fix the issue if they fail. The newer system is simpler to use. It utilizes rolling security code and advanced cryptography to prevent copying of the code from the key or ECU. This is the method that will be used on the replacement keys that we provide. Certain models come with an antenna ring that is specific to their vehicle and isn't recognized by standard transponder scanners. This is a highly effective way to prevent hotwiring, and it is also very difficult to remove using the standard key or transponder emulator. We have a product known as the Renault Antenna Emulator that we can use to disable this type of immobiliser on Renault Clio phase two models as well as some Renault commercial vehicles with ID46 Transponders. It works by mimicking operation of a valid transponder within the ring antenna. It is able to be used on failed keys, or lost keys, without having to dismantle the ECU. It has been tested by Thatcham and endorsed to provide further security for customers of motor insurance.
