Keys

The loss of a car key is an issue that is common and can cause a huge hassle. However, getting a new key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an affordable alternative and they'll have the latest software and equipment to help you out. To permit them to complete the job, you'll only need a VIN and proof of ownership. The other information they will require is the type of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They will also be capable of helping you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat car key cover 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

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. They could get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to think of new tricks.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and the approval of the aftermarket security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Of course, just like a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the battery inside or the key fob may need replacing. The best option is to always hire an expert to complete the task as it will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when it is questioned. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other communication networks. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks work.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often located on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
