Transponder Chips

Renault offers a range of different systems in relation to their immobilisers and key locks The newer models that are available from 2000 include transponder chips. These are tiny circuits that are embedded into the key. They transmit signals to the computer system in the car. If the signal is not received, the engine won't begin. This is a good security measure to ensure your vehicle is not being stolen and only you are able to start it.

Finding a replacement key with transponder chips is bit more expensive than a basic non-transponder key, due to the additional manufacturing costs associated with having a micro-circuit in the key, but this does not mean you will have to pay money. Locksmiths can produce keys with a Transponder Chip for a lower price than what you would pay at the dealer.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are electronic devices that stop your car from being hot-wired, or driven away without the proper key. Since 1998, they are required in the UK for all new cars. They are embedded into the fobs or keys 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 needed to operate the engine and then allow the car to go away.

This stops criminals from using equipment that copies the signal that is generated by your key to transmit it to the ECU of the vehicle in order to enable it to start. This technology has reduced car thefts significantly as it is very difficult to steal a car that has this technology installed. Insurance companies often offer discounts on premiums if you've got it installed.

The immobiliser is typically hidden within the head of your car key and is comprised of a microchip which is activated when the key is placed into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel detects the microchip and transmits an information to the ECU. This signal is only deactivated using a programmed or removed key.

A few early Renault models had static codes that could be copied by specially-designed devices, however modern versions have been upgraded to use rolling or changing security codes that can only be duplicated using the right technology. This has greatly improved the effectiveness of the systems and is why it's important to only install these kinds of anti-theft devices installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.
