Renault key cards are electronic devices that can perform more than just unlock doors and start the engine. They can store information and can even function as a “car passport”. The history behind the hands-free card The hands-free car card is an invention that has revolutionized how people use their vehicles. The hands-free card is a tiny device, smaller than a credit card of the same size, that has revolutionised how we drive to unlock our car, get into it and out, change the music, and even the temperature. This is the story about how a small device has led to major changes and continues to evolve to meet the demands of new generations. The first hands-free card from Renault was introduced in 2001. It was designed to be a smarter alternative to the traditional key. It was believed to offer greater safety and comfort when used, as well as reducing time spent in the workshop as it allows technicians to monitor car status 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. The car will identify the card and transmit an access code in the event that it is present. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is no longer in range it will check it regularly to see whether it still has the access code. it could take as little as 80 milliseconds or less than the blink of an eye. However, the system wasn't without its hiccups. Some customers complained that washing their cards was a real trouble. If the card was tucked away in your trouser pockets it is easy to accidentally sit on it. This could cause it to be removed from the system. To address these issues, the Renault engineers and designers “reworked the design from top to the bottom”, to ensure that it was waterproof. They also added an additional layer of security to guard against unintentional locking: the card was equipped with a microswitch that activated and deactivated the immobiliser as soon as it was able to leave the vehicle. The second generation hands-free card was fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped to further improve the quality of Laguna II, which went on to earn a five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. It was also used in the third generation Clio. This model was larger and more spacious, and was equipped with features that appealed to young drivers. The Espace V comes with a hands-free card. To ensure its customers the highest level of quality, the Renault Douai plant has worked to implement new procedures. This work has allowed craftspeople to take a fresh look at their skills. For instance, they can now benefit from a method called full kitting. This ensures that each technician is equipped with the parts needed to fix the vehicle they work on. The simple plastic case of the hands-free card conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to continually communicate with the vehicle it is connected to. If the driver approaches the vehicle, it 'pings' it and emits an indication of verification. If the card responds positively, it automatically unlocks the doors. The seats can also be folded away either as a set or an entire unit, with a single button press. The operation is easy similar to tipping dominos, and the system works even when the headrests are in their place. The seats then disappear into the floor, leaving the space for transporting luggage. In addition to this innovative seating, the Espace V also features a variety of innovative storage solutions. A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox that is located opposite the front passenger seat into a massive storage solution with 12 litres of capacity that is both attractive and easy to access. The same concept is applied to the center console, which has an ample compartment hidden behind which houses the hands-free card and the mobile phone. Renault has decided to keep hands-free cards in existence despite the fact that smartphones are poised to replace them. This is because the accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used even in severe weather. It is also less susceptible 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.

If the car is able to recognize it, it will open the doors. The entire procedure takes less than eight milliseconds. The hand-free cards also store details about the serial number, registration, owner, equipment and the mileage of the vehicle. This can reduce the amount of time it must spend in the workshop in case something goes wrong. The mechanic can also identify the issue simply by looking up the information on a hands-free card. Hands-free cards are prone to issues, and some of these can be very serious.
