The origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is a revolutionary invention that has revolutionized the way people use their cars. A tiny device - not much bigger than a credit card - which has revolutionised the method we drive, unlock and enter the car, switch the lighting as well as the music, and even the temperature.

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 it is present. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is not in range it will periodically check whether it still has an access code. This can take as little as milliseconds.

But the system was not without its hiccups. Some customers were unable to wash their cards. And if the card was kept in a trouser pocket it was easy to accidentally rest on it and cause it to be disabled or locked in error.

In an effort to resolve these issues, renault captur key card replacement engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to the bottom", to ensure that it was waterproof. They added a second layer to guard against accidental lockouts. The card was equipped with a microswitch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser if it approached or left a vehicle.

The second generation of the hands-free card was added to Laguna II and Clio IV. It further improved the quality of Laguna II, which went on to earn five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. And it made its way into the third generation Clio, which was one that was larger and more spacious, and was equipped with various features that were that were designed to appeal to younger drivers.

If the vehicle isn't driven for a long period of time, it could lose its memory, resulting in it no longer being able to unlock the door locks or start the engine. The ignition key will also cease to work. These problems can be solved by a simple reset of the hand-free card, but they won't stop it from becoming defective in the future.
