Transponder Keys

Transponder chips can be found in a lot of modern vehicles. They send out an encoded message that matches with the anti-theft system in your car. This ensures that only those with the correct code are able start your car, thereby protecting it from thieves. It's an easy but effective way to deter thieves. This is why you should always have a spare set keys in the event that you lose yours.

A normal transponder can look like a metal car key, but the top of it is plastic. This is where the transponder is. They are available in three different designs: a standard-lock key, Remote Head Key (RHK), and a Tibbe. There's also the option of having a transponder chip integrated into the key fob to provide additional security.


When you insert a Renault transponder key into the ignition, it powers up by receiving electromagnetic energy from a coil placed around the ignition barrel. The chip transmits an electrical signal that matches the anti-theft codes of the car to the engine control unit and should it match the car will start.

This technology doesn't stop thieves, whether new or old-fashioned from taking cars, but it does make it harder for them to start their vehicle as they will need to use a "hot wire device to get the car started.

Anti-Theft Chips

Renault cars are equipped with an immobiliser system which will prevent the car starting if the correct key isn't used. Most Renault keys have a transponder chip within them that can only be programmed for the car it is fitted to, and when the key is put into the ignition the chip gives off an electrical signal that is interpreted by the immobiliser in the car and the ECU which will then deactivate the engine, thereby preventing theft of your vehicle.

Certain older Renault models use keys that look distinct from the standard car key. The card is slotted into a dash panel card reader and it is activated by pressing a button to start the vehicle.

Remote Fobs

A key fob, or small electronic device, lets you unlock your car without a physical key. It also serves as an additional remote control for items like the garage door or home security system. Key fobs function by using radio frequencies. They are similar to the remote control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob, the transmitter transmits a code to a receiver inside your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and determines the appropriate action to perform.

Modern car key fobs connect to the onboard computer of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the key fob, and looks for an exact code that matches the preprogrammed code. When the code is found to match the system opens the door or begins the engine.

The technology is also used in other types of vehicles, including trucks, tractors, airplanes buses/coaches, tanks and even trains. Many car manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles. This makes it easier to start the engine or open the doors with just a push of a single button.

While the convenience of a key fob for your car is appealing, it can be risky if you don't pay to your surroundings. For instance an CR auto editor once walked into her parking Honda Accord and found all the windows were shut. The key fob sends a signal that activates the automatic windows.

It is not enough to keep an eye on your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the onboard computer of your car securely. A loose or disconnected key fob may send the incorrect signal, resulting in a malfunction like an overheated engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

Keep spare keys handy in the event that your key fob loses power or gets damaged. You should also replace the battery on a regular basis to avoid it losing its charge. In general, you can purchase the correct battery for your remote from an online retailer or hardware stores. You can find instructions for replacing the battery in the owner's manual or on the site of the manufacturer.
