Keys

A lost car key is a common issue and can be a big hassle. However finding a new key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer an alternative that is less expensive and have the latest equipment and software to aid. All you need is a VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to do the job. Another information they'll need is the type of key you require. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be able to help 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 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 number of car thefts began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner to find the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new methods to get around security systems.

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

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from running until the key that is required is present. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with computers, the immobiliser may develop problems and sometimes the battery inside or the key fob could need to be replaced. It is recommended to have an expert do the work to ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The information sent back by the transponder can differ based on the kind of system used.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks work.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on board aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location, speed and altitude. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and also ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can use to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
