Transponder Chips All modern Renault keys come with transponder chips (sometimes called”chip key” or “chip key”) embedded in them. The chip is a microchip which communicates with the ECU of your car to open doors and start the motor. When the car's key is placed in the ignition the antenna ring that is on the ignition sends an impulsive radio frequency energy, which is received by the transponder chip. The chip emits the signal, which contains an unique code. This code is read by the ECU to determine whether the key is legitimate and therefore able to operate the vehicle. This could help reduce the risk of theft from cars, since the keys aren’t just a flat metal key that can be copied. Instead, they have an additional layer of security to prevent any unauthorised access to your car. Older cars that did not have transponder chips were very easy to duplicate and therefore car thieves could easily steal vehicles. But since most cars made after 1995 have a transponder system installed, this type of crime has become less frequent. This is due to the fact that the microchip in the car is linked to a specific vehicle and can only be activated if it is used with the correct keys. If someone tries to start your car using an unprogrammed transponder key that isn't programmed with your particular car and the ECU will not recognize it and refuse to turn on.

Locksmiths use special equipment to duplicate your key, and then insert the transponder chip. The cost for this service will vary based on the year, model and model of the car. A replacement transponder chip can cost more than a standard flat metal key, but less than other replacement keys such as a key fob or smart key. These keys offer more functionality and security when compared to a standard metal key, and therefore are more expensive to replace. Immobilisers Car immobilisers are an essential component of the security of your car. They guard your Renault against theft by stopping it from being started with the wrong key. Since 1998, immobilisers have been mandatory for all new cars in the UK. However, many older vehicles have them installed. These devices can assist you to enhance the security of your car and may even lower the cost of insurance. The first automobile immobilisers were introduced in 1992, and the majority of luxury automakers included them into their vehicles soon after. They are designed to prevent the engine from starting if the correct key isn't present or if the transponder chip on the fob isn't recognized by the electronic control unit (ECU). When you insert your smart keys into your vehicle, they transmit an electronic code to the ECU which must be compatible with the code in order to allow the engine to start. If the codes don't match then the ECU disables several important vehicle components, including the starter motor as well as the fuel system. If you have an older Renault key without the security feature, then you can purchase a new one and get this extra layer protection. It is essential to ensure that the new key is certified by Thatcham, and is designed to fit your vehicle. Some hackers with the latest technology have developed methods to evade anti-immobilisers that are factory fitted. These methods are based on devices that copy pin codes generated by your keys, and then broadcast them to the ECU in order to fool it into thinking your key is present. This method, also known as relay theft, is a problem for those who own keyless entry vehicles. This can be avoided by ensuring that your smart key is properly programmed for your vehicle, and ensuring that it is not in the hands of suspicious people. You should never try to reprogram a smart lock that has been programmed to work with another vehicle and you should seek assistance from a professional if this occurs.
