Keys

Lost car keys are a common issue and can be a real hassle. However the process of getting a new one from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer an alternative that is less expensive and the most recent tools and software to assist. In order to allow them to do the job, you'll only need a VIN and proof of ownership. The other information they require is the kind of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes, and even Fobs. They are also 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

The theft rate of cars began to decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has evolved and they've been forced to develop new methods.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. 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 automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting until the correct key is available. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

As with any computer, the immobiliser may develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have experts handle the job to ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal back when it is being probed. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder sends back varies according to the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other communication networks. These devices receive signals at different frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
