Renault car key fob information
The majority of Renault key fobs feature a transponder which is synchronised with the vehicle's immobiliser. When the key is inserted into the ignition, an electronic signal is sent which allows the immobiliser unit to disengage, in turn allowing the vehicle to be turned on. Each transponder chip is programmed to a specific vehicle, functioning as an anti-theft system which is almost impossible to over-ride.
Does my Renault car key/fob have a transponder?
Nowadays, the majority of road-worthy vehicles make use of transponder technology. All vehicles manufactured after 1995 utilise transponder chips embedded in the plastic of the key fob as an extended security measure. This means that replacement Renault car keys need to be synced to a corresponding vehicle. Whilst some duplicate keys may allow access to a vehicle, only keys with a matching transponder will allow the vehicle to run.
