Keys

Car keys lost are a common occurrence and can be a major pain to deal with and obtaining an alternative key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer an alternative that is less expensive and use the most modern equipment and software that can help.

They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They will also be in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat alhambra key 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 amount of thefts from cars began to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to sneak into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to devise new methods.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

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

Like all computers that is used, the immobiliser could be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire a professional to carry out the task, since it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal to the receiver when it is questioned. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The information the transponder transmits back is different depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecraft and satellites to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals in a different frequency, similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks operate.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now include a transponder chip. These chips don't require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is installed into the ignition lock.

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