Renault key cards are electronic devices that perform more than just unlock doors and start the engine. They can be used to store data and even act as an 'auto passport'.

The development and origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is just one of those inventions that have revolutionised the way that people use their cars. The hands-free card is a small device, smaller than the standard credit card which has revolutionized the way we drive to unlock the car, get in, 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 needs.

The first hands-free device from Renault was launched in 2001. It was developed as an alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer greater safety and comfort in use, as well as reducing time spent in the workshop 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. The car will detect the card and issue an access code if present. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is no longer in range, it will check it at regular intervals to see whether it still has the access code - this could take only 80 milliseconds or less than the blink of an eye.

However, the system was not without glitches. Some customers complained that washing their cards was an absolute trouble. If the card was tucked away in your trouser pocket, it is easy to accidentally be seated on it. This could cause it to become deactivated.

Renault engineers and designers "reworked" the design to make it waterproof. They added an extra layer to prevent accidental lockouts: the card had an electronic switch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser when it approached or left a car.

This hands-free second generation card was fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped to further improve 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 larger and more spacious and was equipped with features that appealed to drivers who were young.

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 work has enabled the craftspeople to re-evaluate their abilities. They can now benefit, for instance from a method called full kitting. This means that every technician is armed with the parts needed to fix the vehicle they are working on.

The hands-free card's minimalist plastic case hides a sophisticated electronic core. It is programmed so that it constantly 'communicates' with the vehicle that it is paired. When a driver is near the vehicle it 'pings' it and emits an authentication signal. If the card responds positively, it instantly unlocks the doors.

The seats can also be folded away either as a set or an entire unit, using one button press. The operation is easy, a bit like dominoes being flipped and the system is functional even when the headrests are in position. The seats then disappear into the floor, leaving behind an area that is perfect to transport luggage.

The Espace V is not only innovative in its seating design, but also has a number clever storage solutions. A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox that is located opposite the front seat passenger into a large storage space with a capacity of 12 litres that is stylish and easily accessible. The same concept is applied to the center console, which features an ample compartment hidden behind which houses the hands-free card and a mobile phone.

Renault has chosen to keep hands-free card in its current form despite the fact that smartphones are preparing to replace them. The card accessory is far superior to its smartphone counterpart. It can be used even in bad weather. Another benefit is that it is not as susceptible to hacking. It uses a unique code that only the vehicle can know. The hands-free card is compatible with all Renault models including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

The minimalist plastic case is a sophisticated electronic core. It is programmed to continually communicate with the car it is paired to. Whenever the car is approached the card emits a radio signal that contains an access code. If the car recognises it, it opens the doors. The whole process is less than 80 milliseconds.

The cards are also able to store 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 an issue. It also allows the mechanic to detect the issue by reviewing the information on the hands-free card.

Hands-free cards are susceptible to issues, and some of these can be serious. If the vehicle is not driven for a long amount of time, the card could lose its memory, resulting in it being unable to unlock the door locks or start the engine. The ignition key could also cease to function. These problems can be solved with a simple reset of the hand-free device, but they will not prevent it from becoming defective in the future.

The absence of buttons is another frequent issue with cards that do not require hands. Many drivers are prone to forget to lock or unlock doors by placing the card in their pocket, and this can be frustrating when they wish to leave their vehicle without having to use their hands. It is possible to solve this problem by creating a second button on the card that allows hands-free operation, but it isn't easy to locate a compatible card at a reasonable price.

The entire process takes 80 milliseconds which is more than a blink of an eye. If the card is moved away from the vicinity of the car the computer on board continues to contact the card at intervals to check if it remains in the vicinity.
