Transponders
Transponders are used on many modern cars to protect against car theft. These small devices are fitted to the key fob and include a chip that communicates with the car whenever it is within of. These chips use a unique code to identify the key and then tell it what vehicle it is associated with.
The chip transmits signals that are detected by coils that are positioned around the ignition barrel in the vehicle. The coils are activated once the key is within reach and send a pulse of electromagnetic energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by sending a unique identifier to the car. The unique code will be used to unlock doors and open the car.
Similar technology was also used in military planes during the World War 2 era to help air traffic controllers identify them on radar. This kind of chip code messages are still used in the aviation industry.
Up until recently they were believed to be secure against clones. This was due to the fact that there were only 74 Quadrillion (74,000,000,000,000,000) possible codes for each transponder. However, the technology behind these chips has since been improved and they are now not completely duplicate-proof.

The older system uses a "kill switch" that connects to one of the vital car's starting components in order to disable it if the right key is not present. These are extremely delicate and require a skilled technician to diagnose and rectify if they fail.
The newer system is much simpler to use. It employs rolling security codes and advanced cryptography to defeat copying of the code from the key or ECU. This is the code that will be used to replace keys that we supply.
Some models use an antenna ring that is specific to the vehicle and is not detected by standard transponder scanners. This is an extremely effective way to prevent hotwiring, and it is also very difficult to remove using an ordinary key or transponder emulator. We have a device called the Renault Antenna Emulator that we can use in order to bypass this immobiliser on Renault Clio phase 2 models and on some Renault commercial vehicles with ID46 Transponders. It is a replica of a functioning key transponder within the ring antenna. It can be used to replace damaged or lost keys without disassembling the ECU. It is Thatcham tested and approved to offer additional security for customers of motor insurance.
