The history behind the hands-free card

The hands-free card is just one of those inventions that have revolutionised the way that people use cars. A small device - no larger than a credit or debit card - which has revolutionised the way we drive to unlock and enter the car, alter the lighting as well as the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how a small device has brought about great changes and how it continues to evolve to meet new demands.

Renault launched its first hands-free card in 2001. It was created to be a better replacement for the traditional key. It was claimed to provide greater comfort and safety when in use, aswell being able to reduce 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. 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 is not in range the system will regularly call the card to determine if it still has an access code. This can be as short as 80 milliseconds.

To address these issues, renault clio key fob replacement engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to bottom", to ensure that it was waterproof. They added a second layer to prevent accidental lockouts. The card was equipped with a microswitch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser when it was near or left a car.

The second generation hands-free card is installed to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped to further improve the quality of Laguna II, which went on to receive a five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. It was also used in the third-generation Clio. This model was bigger and more spacious, and was equipped with features that were appealing to young drivers.

Renault's Douai factory has been striving to implement new procedures in order to ensure the best quality for its customers. This has allowed craftspeople to look afresh at their abilities. They now benefit, for example from a process called full kitting. This means that every technician is armed with the components needed to repair the vehicle they work on.

The hands-free card's minimalist plastic case conceals a sophisticated electronic core. It is programmed to continuously 'communicate' with the car 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 immediately unlocks the doors.

It also allows the seats to fold down in a single or complete unit - with one click. The operation is easy similar to dominoes that tip, and the system works even when the headrests are in place. The seats disappear into the floor, leaving behind an area that is perfect for transferring luggage.

A practical Renault Easy Life drawer transforms the glovebox opposite the front passenger seat into a massive storage solution with a capacity of 12 litres that is both attractive and easily accessible. The same principle is applied to the centre console, which has an ample compartment hidden behind which houses the hands-free card as well as the mobile phone.

Renault has decided to keep hands-free cards in existence, despite the fact that smartphones are set to replace them. The card accessory is far superior to its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used even in severe weather conditions. It is also less prone to hacking. It does this because it uses an identification code which only the vehicle knows.

When a car is walked by, the card emits a radio signal with an access code. The car will then open the doors if it recognises the card. The whole process takes less than 80 milliseconds.

The cards are also able to store information about the serial number registration, owner, equipment and mileage of the car. This can reduce the amount of time one will take to workshop if something goes wrong. This also means that the mechanic can determine the issue by looking up the information on the hands-free card.

Hands-free cards are susceptible to problems and some can be serious. The memory of the hands-free device can be lost if the vehicle is not driven for a while. This can prevent it from unlocking the door locks and also starting the engine. The ignition key may also cease to function. The hand-free card can be reset to fix these problems however it won't stop future malfunctions.

Clio's hands-free hand-free card

Their efforts have paid off, as the cards are now so user-friendly that even young drivers are able to use them without difficulty. The latest models are more efficient at detecting the presence of drivers. They have more efficient aerials that can 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 routine that activates when the car detects the card approaching. The handles on the flush doors are usually hidden within the car body - then pop out and the charging port cover opens automatically.

The card will contact the vehicle when it's close enough. The car then scans the code and, if it matches the car unlocks and the doors and boot are shut. This all happens in 80 milliseconds, which is faster than the blink of an eye. If the card is then moved away from the vicinity of the car, the on-board computer continues to ping the card at regular intervals to see if it remains in the vicinity. If the card does not respond the doors and boot are locked again.
