Transponder Chips

Modern Renault keys come with a transponder chip (sometimes called"chip key" or "chip key") included. The chip is a microchip which communicates with the ECU of your car to open doors and to start the motor. When you insert your car key into the ignition the antenna ring transmits the radio frequency energy in a flash to the transponder. The chip then transmits back a signal that has the unique code. The code is read by the ECU to determine if the key is valid and is able to operate the vehicle. This can help reduce the chance of car theft as the keys aren't just a simple flat metal key that is easily copied and easily, but instead have an extra layer of security to stop unauthorised access to the vehicle.

The older vehicles without a transponder chip were easy to copy and thieves could easily take them. Since the majority of cars built after 1995 have transponders, this kind of crime is less frequent. This is due to the fact that the microchip of a car can only be activated by the correct key. It is unique to the vehicle. If someone tries starting your car using an unprogrammed transponder that hasn't been programmed specifically for your car, your ECU won't recognise it and won't switch on.

These devices can improve your overall car security and may even help reduce your insurance premiums.

The first automotive immobilisers were introduced in 1992 and the majority of luxury automakers integrated them into their vehicles soon after. They are designed to prevent the engine from starting when the correct key is not present or when the transponder chip inside the fob is not recognised by the electronic control unit (ECU).

When you connect your smart keys to your vehicle, they send a code to the ECU that must match with the code for the engine to start. If the codes aren't compatible the ECU will shut down several key vehicle components, including the starter motor as well as the fuel system.

If you have an older Renault key that doesn't include the security feature, you can buy a replacement to benefit from this additional layer of protection. It is crucial to ensure that the new key is certified by Thatcham and has been programmed to fit your vehicle.
