Keys
Lost car keys are an everyday occurrence and can be a major problem. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer could be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they'll be equipped with the most up-to-date software and equipment to assist you. To allow them to perform the job, you'll only need a VIN and proof of ownership. Another thing they'll require is the kind of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also assist you to 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
As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties the number of car thefts began decrease, however, thieves are always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner in order to find the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and certification system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from starting without the proper key. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.
As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have a professional do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and functions.
Transponders
A transponder sends an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.
Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically located on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders control flight paths and ensure security.
Many personal keys include a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is installed in the ignition lock.
Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
