Keys

Car keys lost are an issue that is commonplace and can be a pain to deal with and obtaining a replacement key from the dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a lower cost alternative and the most recent equipment and software to aid. All you will need is an VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to perform the task. Another information they’ll need is the type of key you require. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be capable of helping you with 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, car thefts began to decrease, however, thieves are savvy and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder’s chip, and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then technology has advanced and they’ve been forced to develop new methods.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device 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 in place. If the car is “hot-wired” upon entry and it stops the engine after 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire an expert to do the task, since this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal to the receiver when it is being probed. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on a different frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Advanced passive transponders can be used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information like the aircraft’s position, speed and altitude. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes and also ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips, in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it is inserted in the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an “ident” mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
