Keys

A lost car key is a frequent occurrence and can be a real hassle. However finding a new key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they'll have the latest software and equipment to assist you. To allow them to perform the task, you will only require a VIN and evidence of ownership. Another thing they'll require is the kind of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you programme any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat ibiza key fob 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 decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However the criminals are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. They could get into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to locate the code on the transponder chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to come up with new methods.

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

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle which prevents the engine from starting if it does not have the proper key. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" following entry, the engine will shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire an expert to do the work as it will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identification signal upon being questioned. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system, and helps maintain separation between planes. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigational information including the aircraft's location, speed, altitude, and the route. Air traffic controllers use data from these transponders to manage routes and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys have a small transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is inserted into the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out on the busy air traffic control screen.
