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

The history and evolution of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is a revolutionary invention that has revolutionized how people use their cars. The hands-free card is a small device, about the size of a standard credit card, which has revolutionized the way we drive to unlock our car, enter to change the music and even the temperature.  G28  is the story of how a small device brought about major changes and is always evolving to meet the latest needs.

Renault introduced its first hands-free card in 2001. It was designed to be a smarter alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer greater comfort and safety when used, as well as reduce time spent in the shop, by allowing 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. If the card is present, the car recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card isn't in range it will periodically check if it still has an access code. It could take as little as 80 milliseconds.

But the system was not without its glitches. Some customers were unable to wash their cards. If the card was placed in your trouser pocket, it is possible to rest your hand on it. This could cause it to be removed from the system.

In order to address these issues, Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to the bottom", to ensure that it was waterproof. They added an additional layer to guard against accidental lockouts. The card was equipped with an electronic switch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser if it was near or left a vehicle.

This second generation hands-free card has been installed to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped improve the quality of Laguna II which was awarded a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP's crash tests. It was also utilized in the third-generation Clio. This model was bigger and more spacious, and equipped with features that were appealing to young drivers.

The hands-free card included in the Espace V

Renault's Douai factory is striving to implement new procedures in order to ensure the best quality for its customers. This work has also enabled craftspeople to take a fresh look at their abilities. They now benefit, for example from a method called full kitting. This ensures that each technician is armed with the components needed to repair the vehicle they work on.

The simple plastic case of the hands-free card hides an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to continuously 'communicate' with the car it is connected to. Whenever the driver approaches the vehicle it 'pings' the vehicle and emits a verification signal. If the card responds in a positive way it opens the door immediately.

It also allows the seats to fold down either as a whole unit - at a push of a button. The operation is smooth similar to dominoes being flipped and the system operates even when the headrests are in their place. The seats disappear into the floor, leaving the space perfect for luggage.

In addition to this innovative seating, the Espace V also features a variety of innovative storage solutions. In front of the front seat passenger, a practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' transforms the glove box into a 12 litre storage space that is stylish and easy to access. The same principle is applied to the centre console, which has a spacious hidden compartment that houses the hands-free card as well as a mobile phone.

Renault has decided to keep hands-free card in its current form, despite the fact that smartphones are poised to replace them. This is because the accessory has several advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can be used even in bad weather. Another benefit is that it is not susceptible to hacking. It does this because it uses an unique identification code that only the vehicle can know. The hands-free card is available for all Renault models including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

The hands-free card can be found in the Laguna II

This tiny device, which is barely bigger than a credit-card-sized has revolutionized the way we use our cars. The hands-free card has evolved into an essential symbol of Renault and one of the most innovative products of its time.

The sleek plastic case of the hands-free card conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to constantly  communicate with the vehicle it is linked to. The card emits an access code every time the car is within. If the car is able to recognize it, it opens the doors. The entire procedure takes less than eight milliseconds.

The cards that are free of charge also contain details about the serial number, registration, owner, equipment and the mileage of the vehicle. This reduces the time spent in the workshop, should there is any issue. The mechanic can also pinpoint the issue simply by looking up the information on an unidirectional card.

Unfortunately, like any electronic component that is connected to the internet, the hands-free card can be susceptible to issues and some of them can be very grave. The memory of the hands-free card could be lost if a car has not been driven for a while. This can prevent it from unlocking the door locks and starting the engine. The ignition key will also no longer work. The hand-free card can be reset to correct the issue but it cannot prevent future problems.

Another common issue with the hands-free card is the lack of buttons. Many drivers tend to forget to lock or unlock doors by placing the card in their pockets, and this can be extremely annoying when they want to leave their vehicle without using their hands. It is possible to resolve this issue by programming a second button on the hands-free card, however it can be difficult to locate a compatible card for a reasonable price.

Renault has now enhanced the durability of their hands-free cards. The new Renault Megane and Renault Laguna have a card which is much more resistant to damage. However, there are still people with Renault hands free cards which no longer work correctly. If your hands free card has stopped working, you should give us a call as we can provide and program the replacement for you.

Clio's hands-free credit card

Renault has worked hard in the years since to improve the hands-free cards both in terms of its appearance as well as the technology inside. The cards are so simple to use that even young drivers aren't having any trouble using them. The latest models are even better at detecting a driver's presence. They have more efficient aerials which are able to detect the proximity of the card holder, regardless of where they are in a 360 degree area around the car. They also have a welcome sequence that kicks in when the car detects the card is approaching. The flush door handles, which are normally hidden inside the car body, then come out. The charging port cover is also unlocked automatically.

The card will ping the vehicle when it is close enough. The car scans the code and if the code matches, it opens the vehicle and closes the doors and boot. It all happens in less than 80 milliseconds. That's faster than the blink of an eye. If the card is then removed from the vicinity of the vehicle the computer on board continues to ping the card on regular intervals to determine whether it is still in the vicinity. If the card does not respond, the doors and boot are locked again.

The presence of the hands-free card can also activate a variety of other functions, including locking doors or horns, turning off the lights, and lower windows. The card also holds information such as the vehicle's serial number and registration information, the details of the owner, the equipment and mileage, making it kind of like a "car passport".

While the Renault hands-free card is a safe and convenient way to control the car's features however, it should not be left in the vicinity of children or animals, since they could pose a safety risk by activating the engine or equipment such as the electronic windows. The hands-free card shouldn't be left in humid, hot or cold weather because it could damage the circuitry.
