This small gadget can be used to unlock and start the vehicle however, it also allows drivers to control various other functions, like the lighting and the sound welcome sequence, and it can even serve as a substitute for keys for cars that are traditional even when the driver isn't driving. The idea behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001 when Renault was preparing to launch its Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and noticed how easy it was to lock a room with magnetic cards. He rediscovered the idea and further developed it before making it the standard feature on all Renault models.

Renault has a long-standing reputation for innovation. The first time that Renault did this was to create a 'hands-free card', a small device which allows you unlock your car and begin it without touching the handle. It was the first such technology that an auto manufacturer could offer to customers and changed the way that people drive. Its design made it simple to get into and out of automobiles. It is one of the most popular features of a car in the present.

This can include anything from opening the doors, to changing the radio station or setting the temperature control. This is what makes a Renault a highly sophisticated piece of technology.

The "hands-free" card was the brainchild of a design team led by Bernard Dumondel. He was working on a saloon dubbed the Laguna II that was supposed to be the car of lifestyle for the 21st century. He was in the hotel and was trying to use the keys in his room. He realized that he could make an ignition key that could lock and start the vehicle by simply touching it.

The key is made up of an outer casing (usually black) buttons, a chip transponder and a plastic blade. The key case can be replaced by a a new key that has been equipped with the transponder chip from a different Renault remote key. This is a simple and efficient option in the event that your key is severely damaged, for example if its buttons have been damaged or worn out. If you have a brand new one but it isn't able to start your car, this is likely because the immobiliser was not transferred. To test, hold the old key close to the new one. The car should start.
