If you've lost your keys, you must first take them back (coat and trouser pockets included). You may be asked to provide evidence of ownership, like the title of your vehicle or registration.

If your car is newer, it will come with transponder chips or a smart key/fob which needs programming to match the immobiliser in the vehicle. That's where an automotive locksmith comes in handy.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and start it without the need to insert the key into the lock. The system works by using radio waves that are emitted by the vehicle and a keyfob which is searching for them. If the key fob falls within range of the radio signals, it sends a code back to unlock the door and deactivates the car's standard immobiliser, which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems have a remote ignition feature that lets you start your car using the key fob, or a button located on the dashboard. This feature could be lifesaving in the event that you need to run out for groceries or if your keys are locked in the car.

Convenience is the most obvious benefit. You can access your car without having your key fumble in the dark, which is difficult when you are carrying a lot. You can even unlock the hatch or trunk with this system, which is perfect if you're hauling cargo.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or engine Immobiliser) is a built-in anti-theft device that stops your car from starting without having a key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key or fob to the unique code that is embedded in your vehicle's ECU. When these codes are compatible to each other, the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes do not match the car will not start if the fuel pump or ignition circuit is blocked.

While the Immobiliser will stop thieves from hot-wiring or starting your car, it is not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. It is essential to take other precautions, such as keeping valuables hidden and not putting them inside the car when you are away.

Another option for security is to use a faraday pouch, that will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronic systems, and make it difficult for criminals to steal and copy the signal. The newest suzuki sx4 replacement key models also include a second security measure that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these measures the modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks from expert criminals. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to rob three cars that were popular and smashed the immobiliser within six minutes by exploiting known weaknesses in the system.

Security System

Suzukis are some of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. They have a factory-installed immobiliser that prevents them from being hot-wired. When you use the key to start your car, it has a transponder chip within it slightly smaller than the PS1 coin - that sends a unique code to your electronic control unit of the vehicle (ECU). If the ECU isn't able to receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, the vehicle will not start.

After 2000, the majority of new Suzukis will be equipped with a factory key-lock system that has a built in immobiliser. The key features an extremely tiny transponder chip underneath a plastic head. The chip is a source of information that the ECU of the vehicle is looking for when the key is turned in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key doesn't match that of your ECU it will not start. Auckland auto locksmiths can fix the issue fast and easily, even if it is difficult to solve.

Keys

Most Suzuki automobiles are equipped with a key with the microchip (transponder chip) inside. It is smaller than the coin you carry in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition the ECU in your car reads the key's code from the chip and if it isn't compatible, it will not start.
