Renault Clio Key Replacement
Renault key replacement could be expensive when you don't shop around. Motors has contacted a few companies who provided prices that could reach EUR500 for a replacement key fob.
You can get your keys coded and replaced by a locksmith in your area, rather than paying high prices at an Renault dealer. This is a quicker and less expensive alternative.
Transponder Keys
Transponder chips can be found in a variety of modern vehicles. They transmit an encrypted message that is compatible with the anti-theft system of your vehicle. This helps make sure that only the person who has the correct code is able to start your car, thus protecting it from thieves. It's a simple, but effective method of helping deter potential thieves. It's also one of the main reasons it's worth ensuring that you have a spare working the event of losing your car keys.
A normal transponder key is a normal metal car key but it has an aluminum top, on which the transponder is housed. They come in three different designs: a standard-lock key as well as a Remote Head Key (RHK), and a Tibbe. There's also the option of including a transponder chip into the key fob for additional security.
When you insert the Renault transponder into the ignition, the key receives electromagnetic energy from the coil that surrounds the barrel of the ignition. The chip sends a signal with the anti-theft codes of the car to the engine control unit, and when it's in agreement, the vehicle will begin.
This technology won't stop car thieves, whether new or old-fashioned from taking cars, but it does make it harder for thieves to start the vehicle, as they'll have to use a 'hot wire device' to get the car started.
Transponder keys may be more expensive than regular metal keys, but they are worth the investment because they protect your vehicle from theft. In addition to offering an additional layer of security, they're more difficult to duplicate than standard keys made of metal.

Anti-Theft Chips
Renault cars come with an immobiliser system that can stop the car from starting if the correct key isn't used. The majority of Renault keys contain a transponder that can be programmed to the vehicle they're fitted to. When the key is inserted the chip emits a signal which is detected by both the immobiliser system and the ECU. This disables your vehicle's engine to prevent theft.
Some older Renault models utilize keys that look very different to the traditional car key, the card is slotted into the panel's dash and a button is pressed to start the vehicle.

Remote Fobs
A key fob is a small, electronic device that lets you unlock your car without the physical key. It also acts as an remote control for other items like the garage door or a home security system. Key fobs operate by using radio frequencies. They are similar to remote-control toys' transmitters. When you press the button on the key fob the transmitter sends a code to a receiver within your vehicle or any other device. The receiver interprets the code and signals what action to take.
Modern car key fobs communicate with the computer onboard of the vehicle via radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The computer reads the signal from the key fob, and looks for an exact code that is compatible with a preprogrammed. When the code is matched it will open the door or start the engine.
The technology is also being used in other types of vehicles, including trucks, tractors, airplanes, buses/coaches and tanks. Many manufacturers have incorporated the RFID system into their vehicles which makes it easier to open doors or start the engine at a pressing of one button.
While the convenience of a car's key fob is appealing, it can be dangerous if you don't pay attention. For instance the owner of a CR auto editor once walked by her parking Honda Accord and found all the windows were down. The key fob transmits a signal that activates the auto windows.

A disconnected or loose remote could send the wrong signal, leading to a malfunction like an overheated car engine or a window that is not controlled.

Generally, you can find the appropriate battery for your key fob at a hardware store or big-box retailer. You can find instructions for replacing the battery within the owner's manual, or on the website of the manufacturer.
