Keys

Keys to your car are lost. It's common and can be a major troublesome issue to solve however, getting an replacement key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they'll have the most up-to-date software and equipment to assist you.

They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you program any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat mii replacement 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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the nineties, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly searching for ways to bypass security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by using a scanner to locate the code on the chip and then copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and the approval of security and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the motor from starting without the proper key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry, it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

Of course, just like a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the battery inside or the key seat fob might need to be replaced. It is recommended to have experts handle the job to make sure that everything is installed correctly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a variety of frequency and then retransmit signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and route. Air traffic controllers rely on the data from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it's installed in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
