If you've lost your keys, follow the steps you have taken (including your pants and coat pockets). You might be asked to show evidence of ownership, for example your vehicle's title or registration.

Next, if your car is recent, it may have the transponder chip, or smart key/fob, which requires programming to match the immobiliser device in the vehicle. This is where an automotive locksmith can be of help.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to unlock and start your car without having insert a key into the lock. The system works by using radio signals that are sent from the vehicle and a key fob which searches for these signals. If the key fob falls in range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back that unlocks the door and deactivates the vehicle's standard immobiliser that is in the engine control module (ECU).

Some systems also offer remote ignition that allows you to start your car with the key fob or a button on the dash panel. This feature could save your life if you have to run out for groceries, or if your keys are locked in the car.

Convenience is the primary benefit. It allows you to enter your vehicle without having to search for your keys in the dark, which can be difficult when you are carrying lots of things.

If this is the case you can usually tell by looking for a button on the back of the key fob that you can press. If this doesn't help you, you might need to bring your vehicle to a locksmith or a professional dealer to get the keyfob programed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is a built in security device that blocks you from beginning your car without a key. It works by comparing the digital code contained in the key or key fob with a specific code that is embedded in the vehicle's ECU. When these codes are compatible, the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes don't match the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car will not start.

While the Immobiliser does stop a majority of thieves from stealing hot-wiring and starting your vehicle, it's not foolproof and is easily defeated by determined criminals. That's why it's important to keep other sensible precautions in place, like keeping valuables out of view and avoiding leaving them in the car when you're away from it.

A faraday pouch is another security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it much more difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and intercept the signal. The most recent Suzuki models also come with an additional security feature that requires the key to be positioned close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these measures even today, modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks by expert criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the prestigious University of Amsterdam, attempted to steal three popular vehicles and cracked the immobiliser within six minutes using known vulnerabilities.

Security System

Suzukis are among the most coveted vehicles on Australian roads. They come with a factory-installed immobiliser that prevents them from being hot-wired. Whenever you use the key to start your car, it has an embedded transponder chip that is smaller than a PS1 coin - that transmits a unique code to your vehicles electronic control unit (ECU). If the ECU isn't able to receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, your car won't start.

The original keyfob for this system was marked with the Suzuki brand on the front and FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob has no longer been available, however Remotes Unlimited offers a two-button Hellfire Remote (also made by Advance Security).

After 2000 the new Suzukis come with a key-lock feature that is installed by the factory. This lock has an immobiliser built in. The key is fitted with tiny chips that function as a transponder. It is hidden under the cap made of plastic. The chip contains a number that the ECU of the vehicle scans for when the key is put into the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match the one in your ECU, the car will not start. Auckland auto locksmiths can fix the issue quickly and inexpensively, even if it is difficult to solve.

Keys

The majority of suzuki key code cars are fitted with a key that has the microchip (transponder chip) inside. It's smaller than the coin in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your car reads the key's code from this chip and if it doesn't match, it will not start.
