Key Cards

This tiny device is used to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start, but also allows drivers to control other functions such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It can even replace keys that are traditional when the driver isn't driving. The concept behind the hands-free cards dates back to 2001, when Renault was making preparations to launch their Laguna II saloon. One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how easy it was to lock the room using the use of a magnetic card. He further developed the idea and eventually made it a standard feature in Renault's automobiles.
