Key Cards

The hands-free card is an essential element in Renault's popular range of cars. This small gadget is used to unlock the vehicle and then start it, but also allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It could even replace keys that are traditional when the driver's not driving. The idea behind the hands-free card dates back to 2001 in the year 2001, when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in the hotel when he realized how easy it was to lock his room with the use of a magnetic card. He took the concept and further developed it, eventually making it the standard feature on all Renault models.

You'll need a card reader installed in the vehicle's center console to use the hands-free card. The reader and card can be programmed with the AVDI/PROTAG programs available from Abrites.

Remote Buttons

Renault has an established reputation for innovation. The first time that Renault did this was to develop a "hands free card', a small device which allows you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first time a car maker could offer such a feature to its customers, and it revolutionised the way drivers drive. Its design made it easy to get into and out of cars. It is among the most sought-after features of a car today.

How does it work? The key card itself is a tiny microprocessor that has to be programmed to the specific vehicle. This is done with a specific programer, such as the AVDI. The key also has the ability to transmit its own identification number, which allows it to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car.

When you press a button on the remote, the chip in the key recognises this and tells the car to respond in the same manner. This could be anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. 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 the Laguna II, a saloon that was said to be the lifestyle car of the 21st century. He was in the hotel and was trying to use his room keys. He realized that he could make a key which would lock and start the vehicle by simply touching it.

The key is made up of an outer casing (usually black), buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The case can be changed by using a key that contains the transponder chip from another Renault remote key. This is a simple and efficient solution for keys that have been seriously damaged, like buttons that have been broken or worn out. However, if you have a brand new key and it doesn't start your car it could be because the immobiliser hasn't been transferred to the new key. To test, hold your old key in the vicinity of the new one. The car should be able to start.
