Bernard Dumondel was the product leader of Laguna II at the time. He used the hotel room key to unlock his car.

The keyless entry system The hands-free cards of Renault were an innovative piece of technology at its launch 20 years ago. Its design is the same, but the technology inside has seen a few upgrades to make it more user-friendly and less difficult to hack. In the first place, it cannot be used to unlock the doors or start the engine from outside the vehicle, unless it is activated by the driver. This is because radio antennae "around the car" are set up to determine whether the key is inside or outside. The key will still work from a distance, allowing you to start the car's ignition but not to unlock the doors, and that's for your security. The other thing to note is that the system's wireless remote control transmissions use a rolling code. This decreases the chance of someone stealing a control message and transmitting it again to gain access, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility.
