Keys

Lost car keys are a frequent occurrence and can cause a huge trouble. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer could be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an alternative that is much less expensive, and they will have the latest software and equipment to help you out. All you require is an VIN number and proof of ownership to allow them to perform the task. The other information they will require is the type of key you need. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be capable of helping you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement seat car key 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, car thefts began to decrease, however, thieves are always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to sneak into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to locate the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new methods.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from running until the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like computers, immobilisers can be affected and the battery in the interior or the key fob may need replacing. The best thing to do is always to hire a professional to carry out the work as this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identifying signal when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system and helps to maintain separation between airplanes. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them at a different frequency, much like the way repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and the route. Air traffic controllers use the information from these transponders manage the flight path and ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips, in addition to aircraft transponders. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder once it is inserted in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that lets the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out in an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
