Keys

The loss of a car's key is a frequent occurrence and can be a big hassle. However, getting a new key from a dealer could be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a lower cost alternative and has the most up-to-date equipment and software to help. All you require is a VIN number and proof of ownership to allow them to complete the task. Another information they'll require is the kind of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also help you program new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat 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 last decade, the number of car thefts began fall, but thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. They were able to get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it to the blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to think of new methods.

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 organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of security and alarm systems, which includes car seat key 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 motor from running without the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry and it stops the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. It is best to hire an expert do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identification signal to the receiver when it is questioned. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder sends back varies according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at various frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and the route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and ensure security.

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

The flight deck of many airplanes contains a switch that pilots can use to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
