Renault key cards are small electronic devices that perform a variety of things, including unlocking doors and turning on the engine. They can be used to store data and even act as an 'auto passport'.

The origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is an invention that has revolutionized how people use their cars. The hands-free card is a small device, about the size of the standard credit card that has revolutionized how we drive to unlock the car, get into it and out, change the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how this small device brought about major changes and is always evolving to meet the latest demands.

The first hands-free card from Renault was launched in 2001. It was designed as an improved alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer more comfort and security when employed, and reduce the time spent in the shop by allowing technicians to check the 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. If the card is present, the vehicle recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range, the system will periodically call the card to determine whether it has an access code. It could take as little as 80 milliseconds.

But the system was not without its glitches. Some customers found it difficult to wash the cards. If the card was placed in a trouser's pocket, it was easy to accidentally sit on it and cause it to be disabled or locked in error.

In an effort to resolve these issues, Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom" to ensure it was watertight. And they added an extra layer of security to protect against unintentional locking: the card was equipped with a microswitch that activated and removed the immobiliser as soon as it approached or left the vehicle.

This second generation of the hands-free card was added to Laguna II and Clio IV. It further improved the quality of Laguna II, which went to be awarded a five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. It was also used in the third-generation Clio. This model was bigger and more spacious, and equipped with features that were appealing to young drivers.

The Espace V comes with a hands-free card.

Renault's Douai factory is working hard to implement new procedures in order to ensure the highest quality for its customers. This has allowed the craftspeople to re-evaluate their abilities. They are now able to benefit, for instance from a method known as full kitting. This ensures that every technician has an assortment of parts that are suited to the particular specification of the vehicle for which they are working.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free device conceals an advanced electronics core. It is programmed to continuously 'communicate' with the car it is paired with. If the driver approaches the vehicle it 'pings' the vehicle and emits an authentication signal. If the card responds positively it opens the door automatically.

The seats can be folded away either as a set or an entire unit, using one button press. The system is easy to use, much like dominos. It is also compatible when the headrests are in place. The seats disappear into the floor leaving the space perfect for luggage.

In addition to the innovative seating system, the Espace V also features a variety of innovative storage solutions. A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox in front of the seat passenger into a large storage solution that has 12 litres of storage that is attractive and easy to access. The same principle applies to the center console, which has a spacious hidden compartment that houses the hands-free device and a mobile phone.

Despite the fact that smartphones appear to be on the verge of replacing the hands-free card Renault has decided not to let it disappear into history. This is because the card accessory has many advantages over its smartphone counterpart. For one, it can be used in adverse weather conditions. It is also less prone to hacking. This is due to the fact that it has 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.

This tiny device that is no bigger than a credit card has changed the way we use cars. The hands-free cards has become a symbol of Renault and is among its most innovative products.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free card hides an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to continuously 'communicate' with the car it is paired to. The card emits an access code every time the car is within. The car will open the doors if it recognises the card. The whole process takes less than 80 milliseconds.

The hand-free cards also store details regarding the serial number, registration, owner, equipment, and the mileage of the car. This reduces the amount of time one must spend in the workshop in case something goes wrong. It also means that the mechanic is able to detect the issue by reading the data on the hands-free card.

Hands-free cards are prone to issues and some can be very serious. The memory of the hands-free device can be lost if a car hasn't been driven for a period of time. This can prevent it from unlocking the door locks or starting the engine. The ignition key may also cease to function. The problem can be fixed with a simple reset of the hand-free card, but they won't stop it from becoming defective in the future.

Another common issue with the hands-free card is a absence of buttons. It is typical for drivers to lock or open their doors unintentionally by putting their cards in their pockets. This can be frustrating when trying to leave their vehicle without using their hands. This issue can be resolved by programming a second key on the hands-free cards, however finding a card that is compatible and affordable isn't always easy.

Clio's hands-free hand-free card

In the years that been since, Renault have worked hard to improve their hands-free cards, both in terms of its appearance as well as the technology inside. The cards are so easy to use that even the youngest drivers aren't having any trouble using them. The latest models are more effective at detecting presence of drivers. They have more efficient aerials which are able to detect the proximity of the card holder no matter the 360-degree area around the vehicle. They also have a welcome program that kicks in when the car detects the card is approaching. The handles on the flush doors - normally concealed within the car body - then pop out and the cover for the charging port automatically unlocks.

The card will contact the vehicle when it is close enough. The car scans the code and if the code matches, it unlocks the vehicle and closes the doors and boot. This all happens in just 80 milliseconds, faster than the blink of an eye. If the card is removed from the vicinity of the vehicle the computer onboard continues to ping the card at regular intervals to determine whether it is still within the area. If the card does not respond the doors and boot are again locked.

Many other functions are also activated by the presence of the hands-free card, including locking the doors, activating the horn and lights and lower the windows. The card can also be used to store information such as the serial number, registration number, owner details, equipment, and mileage. It's a bit like the car's passport.

However it should not be left close to animals or children as they may start the engine or activate devices such as the electronic windows, which could pose a risk to safety. The hands-free card should not be left in humid, hot or cold temperatures because it could damage the circuitry.
