The origins of the hands-free card

The hands-free car card is a revolutionary invention that has revolutionized how people use their vehicles. The hands-free card is a compact device, no bigger than the standard credit card that has revolutionised how we drive to unlock the car, enter, change the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how a small device has brought about major changes, and how it continues to evolve to meet the needs of the times.

Renault introduced its first hands-free cards in 2001. It was designed to be a more efficient alternative to the traditional key. It was said to offer more comfort and security when used, as well as reduce time spent in the shop by allowing technicians to check the 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 detects it and transmits an access code to it. This unlocks the doors and activates the immobiliser. If the card is no longer in range and is not in range, it will ping it on a regular basis to see whether it still has the access code. this could take only 80 milliseconds, or less than the blink of an eye.

But the system was not without its imperfections. Some customers found that washing their cards was a real pain. If the card was kept in a trouser pocket it was possible to accidentally sit on it, which caused it to be deactivated or locked accidentally.

In order to address these issues, Renault engineers and designers “reworked the design from top to bottom”, to ensure that it was waterproof. They also added an additional layer of security to protect against unintentional locking: the card was equipped with a microswitch which activated and deactivated the immobiliser as quickly it was near or left the car.

The second generation hands-free card was fitted to Laguna II as well as Clio IV. It helped improve the quality of Laguna II which was awarded five stars in Euro NCAP’s crash tests. It was also incorporated into the third generation Clio, which was an automobile that was larger and more spacious and included a range of features that were designed to appeal to younger drivers.
