Keys

Car keys lost are a common problem and can be a troublesome issue to solve however, getting an exchange key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a lower cost alternative and the most recent equipment and software to help. To allow them to perform the job, you'll only require an VIN and evidence of ownership. Another information they'll require is the type of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They are also equipped to assist you in the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement keys from a dealer is expensive and time consuming. This is because most dealers will programme the key using the car's computer which will need to be reset. However, many people buy second-hand keys off the internet that are not programmed to their car. This can be a much cheaper alternative to going to the dealer. But, these key will not start the car because they will not have a transponder chip inside them. You can see the chip (yellow) in this picture below, it is a Dual Inline Package or DIP 18 pin chip. There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

The number of car thefts started to decrease as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to circumvent security systems. The early immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner to locate the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to devise new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting without the correct key. This means that if the car is "hot wired" after entry, the engine will shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like computers, immobilisers can be affected and the battery in the interior or the key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to have a professional do the work to ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identifying signal upon being questioned. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on a radar system and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.

Transponders are also present in spacecraft and satellites to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on another frequency, just like repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position and speed, as well as altitude. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and also ensure safety.

Many personal keys include a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips don't require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code and makes it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
