Keys

Keys to your car are lost. It's common and can be a major pain to deal with and obtaining a replacement seat car key 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. All you will need is a VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to carry out the work. The other information they need is the type of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes, and even Fobs. They can also help you create new keys.

Remotes

Most seat key transponder programming 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 as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get into early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to come up with new tricks.

Luckily, 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 responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, including 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 stops the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" after entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Of course, just like computers, the immobiliser may be affected and the battery in the interior or the key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to hire a professional do the work and ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that transmits an identifying signal upon being questioned. This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder sends back varies according to the type of system.

Transponders are also used in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals at a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit them at an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it's placed in the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
