Renault key cards are small electronic devices that can do a variety of things, including unlocking doors and starting the engine. They can store data and can even function as a "car passport".
The history and evolution of the hands-free card
The hands-free car card is an invention that has revolutionized the way people use their cars. The hands-free card is a small device, about the size of a standard credit card, that has revolutionised how we drive to unlock our car, get in to change the music and even the temperature. This is the story of how this little object brought great changes and is always evolving to meet the latest needs.
The first hands-free card from Renault was launched in 2001. It was created to be a better alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer greater security and comfort when used, as well as reduce the time spent in the shop, by allowing technicians to monitor the status of the car 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. The car will recognize the card and send an access code in the event that it is present. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range it will periodically check whether it still has an access code. This could be as short as 80 milliseconds.
However, The Keylab was not without its hiccups. Some customers found it difficult to wash the cards. And if the card was kept in a trouser pocket, it was easy to inadvertently sit on it and cause it to be locked or deactivated. locked accidentally.
To address these issues, Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom" to ensure it was waterproof. And they added an extra layer of security to protect against accidental locking: the card was equipped with a microswitch which activated and removed the immobiliser as soon as it was able to leave the vehicle.
This second generation hands-free card is fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It improved the quality of Laguna II which was awarded a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP's crash tests. It was also incorporated into the third-generation Clio model, which was an automobile that was larger and more spacious, and was equipped with various features that were designed to appeal to young drivers.
The hands-free card in the Espace V
To ensure its customers the highest standard of quality, Renault's Douai plant has been working to implement new processes. This work, in turn, has also enabled craftspeople to look afresh at their skills. For instance, they now benefit from a method known as full kitting. This means that every technician is equipped with components needed to repair the vehicle they work on.
The minimalist plastic case of the hands-free device conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to constantly communicate with the car it is linked to. It emits a confirmation signal each time the driver approaches the car. If the card responds in a positive way, it unlocks the door instantly.
It also allows the seats to fold away in a single or complete unit - with one click. The system is easy to use, much like dominos. It works even with the headrests still in place. The seats then disappear into the floor, leaving behind the space to transport luggage.
The Espace V is not only innovative in its seating design, but also features a range of clever storage solutions. In front of the front seat passenger the practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' transforms the glove box into a 12-litre large capacity storage unit that is attractive and easy to access. The same principle is applied to the center console, which has an ample compartment hidden behind which houses the hands-free device and the mobile phone.
Despite the fact that smartphones appear to be poised to replace 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. One of them is that it can be used in adverse weather. It is also less vulnerable to hacking. This is because it uses an unique identification code which only the vehicle is aware of. The hands-free card is used with all Renault models, including the ZOE Clio Scenic Kadjar Megane.
The hands-free card can be found in the Laguna II
It was initially viewed as something worthy of 007 this small object - barely larger than a credit card has revolutionised the way we drive. The hands-free card has become an important symbol for Renault and is among the most innovative products of its time.
The minimalist plastic case hides an intricate electronic core. It is programmed to continually communicate with the car it is paired with. 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 whole process takes less than 80 milliseconds.
The card that is free of charge also stores details on the car's serial number and registration, its owner, the vehicle's equipment and mileage. This reduces the time spent in the workshop if there is a problem. The mechanic can also pinpoint the issue by simply studying the data on the card.
Unfortunately, like any electronic component such as the hands-free card, it is prone to problems and some of them can be very grave. The memory of the hands-free device can be lost if a car has not been driven for a long time. This will prevent it from opening the door locks and also starting the engine. The ignition key could also stop working. The problem can be fixed by a simple reset of the hand-free card, but they will not prevent it from becoming faulty in the future.
The absence of buttons is another common problem with hands-free cards. It is typical for drivers to lock or unlock their doors accidentally by putting their cards in their pockets. This can be very frustrating when trying to leave their vehicle using their hands. It is possible to fix this issue by creating a second button on the card that allows hands-free operation, but it isn't easy to locate a compatible card for a reasonable price.
Renault have recently changed the design of their hands free cards to make them more durable. Renault Megane, Renault Laguna and the new Renault Megane have cards that are more resistant to damage. There are still some Renault hands-free cards that do not work. If yours has stopped functioning, you should give us a call as we can provide and program the replacement for you.
Clio's hands-free hand-free card
Renault has been working long and hard over the years to improve the hands-free card both in terms of its appearance and the technology within. Their efforts have paid off since the cards are now so user friendly that even drivers who are younger are able to use them without difficulty. The most recent models are more effective at detecting drivers' presence. They have more efficient aerials that can detect the location of the card holder no matter the 360 degree area around the vehicle. They also have a welcome sequence that activates when the car detects the card is approaching. The flush door handles are normally concealed inside the car body and then come out. The charging port cover is also unlocked automatically.
The card will contact the vehicle when it's close enough. The car then scans the code and, if it matches, the vehicle unlocks and the doors and boot close. This all happens in just 80 milliseconds. That's faster than the blink of an eye. If the card is then removed from the area of the vehicle the computer onboard continues to ping the card on intervals to check if it remains in the area. If the card does not respond the doors and boot are locked again.
The presence of the hands free card can provide a range of additional features, including locking doors and activating the horn lights, and lowering windows. The card also stores details like the serial number, registration, owner information, equipment, and mileage. It's sort of like the car's passport.
While the Renault hands-free card is a convenient and safe way to control the car's functions however, it should not be left in the vicinity of animals or children as they could pose a security risk by initiating the engine or activating devices such as the electronic windows. In the same way, the hands-free card should not be placed in cold, hot or humid conditions as it may damage its circuitry.
