Transponder chips are tiny electronic microchips that are incorporated inside the head part of a car key. They are named after the fact that they are an electronic transmitter and a receiver. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock and then turned into an antenna ring, the immobilizer of the car transmits a radio signal to the transponder chip. The chip responds by sending an encrypted message to the antenna ring, which is then matched to a serial number stored in the car's immobilizer system and, if correct, allows the engine to be started.

This is the way modern Renault is constructed. It is a vital security measure to deter thieves from copying your key and using it to start your car, and then selling it on the black market.

Immobilisers

An immobiliser is an anti-theft device that prevents your car from being started if the key contains the wrong code or is being used to start it illegally. They've been a requirement in cars since 1998 in England and Wales however some were fitted by the factory prior to that. If you aren't sure whether your Renault has one, the simplest method of checking is consulting a mechanic or by visiting your car manufacturer's website and getting in touch with them.

The immobiliser system is activated by sending a signal to a reader on the dashboard. The reader reads back the response from the key. If the codes match, then the car will begin. If not, then the engine won't begin and it will disable at least two other functions - usually fuel and air conditioning.

Remote Fobs

A key fob is a tiny electronic device that communicates with a computer in the vehicle to perform various functions. When a key fob is turned on, it emits a radio signal with an unique code. The code is interpreted by a receiver inside the car. Once the car recognizes the code, it allows the driver to unlock or start the vehicle. Based on the car the key fob could also be used to control features such as the panic alarm, or other security systems.

Most key fobs allow users to lock and unlock cars remotely. The fob's buttons also control other functions, such as lowering the windows or starting the engine. Many modern cars are fitted with a key fob which can also control the power sunroof. This feature is especially useful on a hot day and can help to keep the interior cool.

The key fob can be a small plastic or metal device. Some are flat, thin and round with an end button. Keys aren't as secure as traditional keys, but they provide a lot of convenience and security.

To stop cloning or hacking keys use the technology called rolling codes. The key fob and the car's receiver create a new code every time the user presses the button. This makes it nearly impossible for hackers to copy the signal and gain access to the car.

Certain older fobs are able to be programmed by the owner, whereas others require dealer or locksmith programming. Owners are able to program infrared and infrared/radio-frequency systems. Newer fobs, on the other hand, require dealer or locksmith programming using a specific tool or software.

Renault's latest cars, like the Clio or Megane are equipped with keyless entry systems controlled by the keyfob. This is a simple method to unlock the car and start it, and also in preventing theft of keys. A second key fob can also prove useful in the event of one being lost or damaged.
