The origins of the hands-free card
The hands-free card is one of those inventions that have changed the way people use cars. A tiny device - not much larger than a credit card - that has revolutionised the ways we drive, unlock and enter the car, change the lights as well as the music, and even the temperature. This is the story of how a tiny object has brought huge changes and is constantly evolving to meet changing demands.
Renault introduced its first hands-free cards in 2001. It was developed as a smarter alternative to the traditional key. It was believed to offer greater comfort and safety when used, as well being able to reduce time spent in the workshop as it allows 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 car identifies it and sends an access code to it. This activates the immobiliser and opens the doors. If the card is no longer in range and is not in range, it will ping it at regular intervals to see whether it still has the access code - this can take just 80 milliseconds or less than the blink of an eye.
However, the system wasn't without its hiccups. Some customers found that washing the cards an absolute trouble. And if the card was placed in a trouser's pocket, it was easy to accidentally sit on it and cause it to be deactivated or locked in error.

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.
