Transponder Keys

Transponder chips are present in a lot of modern vehicles. They send out an encoded message that matches with the anti-theft system in your vehicle.

They come in three different styles: a standard-lock key, Remote Head Key (RHK) and Tibbe. There's also the possibility of having a transponder chip integrated into the key fob for additional security.

When you insert the Renault transponder into the ignition, the key is able to receive electromagnetic energy from the coil that surrounds the barrel of the ignition. The chip sends an electrical signal that matches the anti-theft code of the car to the engine control unit, and should it match the car will begin.

Anti-Theft Chips

Renault cars have an immobiliser that prevents the vehicle from starting if it is not the right key. Most Renault keys contain 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 emits an alarm that is interpreted by the immobiliser of the car and the ECU which will then deactivate the engine to prevent theft of your car.

Remote Fobs

A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without keys that are physically present. It also acts as an additional remote control for items like the garage door, or a home security system. Key fobs operate using radio frequencies, just like the transmitters in a remote-control toy. When you hit a button on the fob, it transmits a code to the receiver in your car or other device. The receiver interprets the code and determines what action to take.

Modern car key fobs connect to the computer onboard of the vehicle by using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer receives the signal from the key fob and searches for an exact code that matches a preprogrammed one. Once the code has been identified, the system will open the door or start the engine.

Other types of vehicles are also utilizing the technology, including trucks and tractors, planes as well as buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles and make it easier to open doors and start the engine with a simple pressing of one button.

The convenience of a key fob could be risky if not paying attentively. For instance the owner of a CR auto editor once walked by her parking Honda Accord and found all windows were closed. The reason for this is because the key fob was sending an indication to turn on the automatic windows.

You should not only be watching your battery, but also ensure that the key fob is connected to the computer onboard of your car safely. A loose or disconnected remote could send the wrong signal, resulting in malfunctions such as an overheated car engine or an uncontrolled window lowering.

It's a good idea keep spare keys on hand in case your key fob runs out of power or gets damaged. It's also a good idea to replace the battery on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't lose its charge too fast. Typically, you can locate the correct battery for your key fob in a hardware retailer or a big-box store. You can find the instructions on how to replace the battery in the owner's manual or on the manufacturer's site.
