Keys

The loss of a car key is an issue that is common and can cause a huge difficulty. However finding a new key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an alternative that is much less expensive, and they will have the latest software and equipment to help you out. In order to allow them to do the job, you'll only need a VIN and evidence of ownership. They'll also need know the type of key that you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also help you programme 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, car theft rates began to drop, however thieves are smart and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using scanners to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to a blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to come up with new tricks.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading and certification system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" following entry it will stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like an electronic device, the immobiliser could develop problems and sometimes the battery inside or the key fob might need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire a professional to do the task as this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identifying signal back when it is probed. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder is different based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, just like repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, speed and the route. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and ensure safety.

Many personal keys include a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
