Immobilisers
Immobilisers prevent your car from being hot-wired or driven without the correct key. Since 1998, they have been required in the UK for all new cars. They are built into the keys or fobs of your car. They function by sending a code to the car’s ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the car is started. If the code doesn’t match, the ECU disables certain components that are required to run the engine and allow the car to go away.
This stops criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal emitted by your key and send it to the car’s ECU, so that it can start. This has drastically reduced car thefts because it would be extremely difficult to steal cars with this technology. This is why insurance companies will usually give you a discount on your premium if this technology is fitted.
The immobiliser is usually hidden in the head of the car key. It is a microchip that can be activated by inserting the key into the ignition barrel. A coil that is positioned around the barrel reads the chip and then sends an indication to the ECU that can only be deactivated with a programmed key or by taking the chip off the key.
Early Renault models had static codes that were easily copied by special devices. More recent versions use rolling or changing codes, which can only be duplicated using the proper technology.
