If your car is an advanced model, it will most likely have a transponder chip inside. This is a great security measure because it ensures that only the key that contains the correct information can start your car.

When you turn on the ignition, the chip sends an indication to the car's ECU. The ECU then compares the digital serial numbers on the chip with the ones in the vehicle. If they match then the immobilizer is disengaged and the car will start. The ECU will ignore the key if it does not have the correct serial number.

If you look closely at the key, you will be able to determine if it is equipped with a microchip. The hole in the head is typically offset to one side. This is to accommodate the microchip. The older keys had the chip placed in the centre of the head of the key. You can also verify this by using a transponder scanner that will read the data stored on the chip and display it on the screen.

Transponder Chips

All modern Renault keys are equipped with a transponder (also called"chip-key") "chip-key"). The chip is a microchip that communicates with the ECU of your car to unlock doors and to start the motor. When your car key is put into the ignition the antenna ring that is on the ignition sends out an impulsive radio frequency energy, which gets to the transponder chip. The chip emits the signal, which contains a unique code. The code is then read by the ECU to determine if the key is valid and should be allowed 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. They have an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorised access to your vehicle.

Older cars without transponder chips were extremely simple to duplicate and car thieves could easily steal vehicles. However, since the majority of cars built after 1995 have a transponder system installed, this type of crime has become less frequent. This is due to the fact that the microchip of a car is only activated with the correct key. It is unique to the vehicle. If someone tries starting your car with an unprogrammed transponder that hasn't been programmed for your particular car, your ECU won't recognise it and will not turn on.

Immobilisers

Since 1998, immobilisers have been required for all new cars in the UK. However, many older vehicles are equipped with them. These devices can enhance your overall security and could even help lower the cost of insurance.

The first immobilisers for cars 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 available or the transponder chip in the fob isn't recognised by the electronic controller unit (ECU).

When you insert your smart keys into your vehicle, they transmit an encoded code to the ECU that needs to match with the code to allow the engine to start. If the codes don't match then the ECU will turn off several important car components like the starter motor and fuel system.

If you own an older Renault key without the security feature, you can buy a replacement and benefit from this extra layer of protection. It is crucial to make sure that the key you purchase is certified by Thatcham and is programmed to work with the specific vehicle you have.

Some thieves with a keen eye for technology have come up with methods to evade factory-fitted anti-immobilisers. These methods involve devices that can duplicate pin codes that are that are sent by your key and then broadcast them to the ECU to fool it into thinking that your key is in the vehicle. This method is known as relay theft and is a common concern for people who own modern-day keyless entry and start vehicles.
