The history and evolution of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is just one of those inventions that has changed how people use cars. A tiny device - no bigger than a credit card - which has revolutionised the method we drive, unlock and enter the car, switch the lights, the music and even the temperature. This is the story of how this small device brought about major changes, and how it is constantly evolving to meet new requirements.

renault kangoo spare key's first hands-free card was launched in 2001. It was designed to be a smarter replacement for the traditional key. It was believed to offer greater comfort and safety in use, as well by reducing the time spent in the workshop, by allowing technicians to check 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 vehicle recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This activates the immobiliser and unlocks the doors. If the card is not in range, the system will periodically call the card to determine if it still has an access code. It could take as little as 80 milliseconds.

However, the system was not without its hiccups. Some customers had difficulty to wash their cards. If the card was placed in your trouser pockets it is easy to accidentally be seated on it. This can cause it to become deactivated.

Renault engineers and designers and engineers "reworked" the design to make it watertight. They added an extra layer to guard against accidental lockouts. The card was equipped with an electronic switch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser whenever it came into contact with or left a vehicle.

This hands-free second generation card is added to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped to further improve the quality of Laguna II, which went on to earn 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 equipped with features that appealed to young drivers.

The Espace V comes with a hands-free card

In an effort to guarantee its customers the highest standard of quality, the Renault Douai plant has worked to implement new processes. This work has enabled the craftspeople to re-evaluate their abilities. For instance, they now benefit from a method known as full kitting. This guarantees that each technician has an assortment of parts that are suited to the specific specifications of the vehicle on which they are working.

The minimalist plastic case of the hands-free device conceals a sophisticated electronics core. It is programmed to ensure that it is constantly communicating with the vehicle that it is paired. It emits a confirmation signal each time the driver is near the car. If the card responds positively it opens the door automatically.

It also allows the seats to fold away - individually or as a whole unit - at a click. The operation is easy and a little like tipping dominos, and the system works even when the headrests are in position. The seats disappear into the floor leaving an area that is ideal for 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 opposite the front passenger seat into a massive storage space with 12 litres of storage that is stylish and easy to access. The center console also features a large hidden compartment which houses the hands-free cards as well as a mobile.

Despite the fact that smartphones seem to be poised to replace the hands-free card Renault has decided to not let it go to the back of the pack. This is because the accessory has numerous advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It can, for instance, be used in adverse weather conditions. Another benefit is that it is less vulnerable to hacking. It has a unique code that only the vehicle is able to know. The hands-free card is available on all Renault models, including the ZOE, Clio, Scenic, Kadjar and Megane.

The card emits an access code whenever the car is near. The car will then open the doors if it recognises the card. The entire process takes less than 80 milliseconds.

The hand-free cards also store details regarding the serial number, registration, owner, equipment and the mileage of the car. This reduces the amount of time that it will take to workshop in case something goes wrong. The mechanic can also pinpoint the issue simply by reading the data on an unidirectional card.

As with any electronic component that is connected to the internet, the hands-free card can be susceptible to problems, and some of them can be quite grave. If the vehicle isn't driven for a long period of time, the card could lose its memory, which results in it no longer being able to unlock the door locks or start the engine. The ignition key can also stop working. This issue can be resolved with a simple reset of the hand-free card, but they will not prevent it from deteriorating in the future.

The absence of buttons is a common issue with cards that do not require hands. Many drivers accidentally lock or unlock the doors by putting the card in their pockets and this can be extremely frustrating when they wish to leave their car without using their hands.
