The origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free card is one of those inventions that have revolutionised the way that people use cars. A small device - no bigger than a credit card - that has revolutionized the ways we drive, unlock and get into the car, alter the lights, the music and even the temperature. This is the story of how this tiny object has brought huge changes, and how it is constantly evolving to meet changing requirements.

The first hands-free device from renault kadjar key was launched in 2001. It was developed as an alternative to the traditional key. It was claimed to provide greater safety and comfort when in use, aswell as reducing time spent in the workshop, by allowing 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 vehicle recognizes it and sends an access code to it. This will activate the immobiliser, and also opens the doors. If the card isn't in range it will periodically ping the card to check whether it has an access code. This could take as little as milliseconds.

But the system wasn't without its shortcomings. Some customers found it difficult to wash the cards. And if the card was left in a trouser pocket, it was easy to inadvertently sit on it and cause it to be deactivated or locked in error.

In order to address these issues, Renault engineers and designers "reworked the design from top to the bottom", to ensure that it was waterproof. They added a second layer to protect against unintentional lockouts. The card was equipped with a microswitch that activated or deactivated the immobiliser when it approached or left a vehicle.

This second generation hands-free card has been 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 appealed to young drivers.

This means that every technician has an assortment of parts that are suited to the particular specification of the vehicle for they are working.

The minimalist plastic case conceals an advanced electronic core. It is programmed to continually 'communicate' with the car it is linked to. It emits a confirmation signal each time the driver comes near to the vehicle. If the card responds in a positive way it will unlock the door instantly.

The seats can be folded away, individually or as an entire unit with the press of a button. The system is easy to use, similar to dominoes. It works even with the headrests in place. The seats then disappear into the floor, leaving a space that is ideal to transport luggage.

In addition to the innovative seating system, the Espace V also features a number of clever storage solutions. In front of the front seat passenger, a practical 'Renault Easy Life drawer' turns the glove box into a 12-litre large-capacity storage solution that is attractive and accessible. The same concept is applied to the centre console, which offers an enormous compartment that houses the hands-free card as well as a mobile phone.

Renault has chosen to keep hands-free card in its current form despite the fact that smartphones are set to replace them. This is because the accessory has many advantages over its smartphone counterpart. It is able to be used in bad weather conditions. Another benefit is that it is not susceptible to hacking.

This can prevent it from opening the door locks and starting the engine. The ignition key may also cease to function. The hand-free card can be reset to fix the issue but it cannot prevent future problems.
