When the key fob comes within range of the radio signals, it sends a code back to unlock the door and disables the your vehicle’s standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).
Certain systems have a remote ignition feature that allows you to start your car by using the key fob or a button that is located on the dashboard. This feature is a lifesaver when you have to go out and buy groceries, or if your keys get locked in the.
Convenience is the most obvious benefit. You can gain access to your car without having search in the dark with your keys, which can be difficult when you’re carrying a lot of things. This system can be used to unlock the hatch and trunk that is ideal if you are hauling a lot of cargo.

Immobiliser
The Immobiliser is an integrated security device that blocks you from getting your car started without the use of a key. It works by matching the digital code on the key or key fob with the unique code in your vehicle’s ECU. If the codes match, the ECU will activate the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes don’t match the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car won’t start.

It is important to take other reasonable precautions in mind, such as keeping valuables hidden from view and avoiding leaving them in the vehicle when you’re not in it.
A faraday pouch is another security measure. It blocks the signal between the car’s electronic system and the key fob, making it difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and intercept the signal. Suzuki’s most recent models have an additional security measure that requires the key be placed close to the ignition whenever it is switched on.
Modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks from criminals with advanced capabilities despite these measures. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the prestigious University of Amsterdam, attempted to rob three popular vehicles and cracked the immobiliser in just six minutes by using known weaknesses.
Security System
Suzukis are among the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. They come with a factory installed immobiliser that prevents them from being hot-wired. When you use the ignition key to start your vehicle, it has an internal transponder chip – a little smaller than a PS1 coin – which transmits an unique code to the electronic control unit (ECU). If the ECU doesn’t receive this code when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your car will not start.
Suzuki dealers installed two different dealer-installed systems up to 1996. The first was made by Advance Security. The original keyfob had the Suzuki logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 at the back. The original keyfob has no longer been available, however Remotes Unlimited still has a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also made by Advance Security).
After 2000, the majority of new Suzukis will be equipped with a factory key-lock system with a built-in immobiliser. The key is equipped with a tiny transponder chip hidden under a plastic head. The chip contains a code that the ECU of the vehicle is looking for when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key doesn’t match the one that is in your ECU it will not start. The problem can be quite difficult to fix, but our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to fix it quickly and cost-effectively.
