Keys

Car keys lost are common and can be a major hassle to resolve and obtaining an alternative key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a cheaper alternative and use the most modern tools and software to assist. All you require is a VIN number and evidence of ownership to enable them to complete the task. They will also need to be aware of the type of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you program new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon car key 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the last decade, car thefts began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanning tool to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has evolved and they've been forced to devise new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of the aftermarket security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the correct key is present. This means that if a car is "hot wired" after entry and the engine is stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have professionals handle the task, as they will ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal to the receiver when it is interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the kind of system.

Transponders are also found in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals across a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigational information including the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and the route. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes, and also ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder's unique squawk number and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
