Keys
Car keys lost are an issue that is commonplace and can be a major troublesome issue to solve and obtaining a replacement key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a cheaper alternative and use the most modern equipment and software to help. To enable them to carry out the job, you'll only require a VIN and evidence of ownership. 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 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 theft rate of cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. The early immobilisers could be avoided by scanning the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.
Like computers, immobilisers can be affected and the internal battery or key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to have professionals handle the task to make sure everything is installed correctly and functions.
Transponders
Transponders send an identifying signal when it is questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies according to the kind of system.
Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks function.
Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information on navigation such as the aircraft's position speed, altitude, speed and the route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and ensure security.
Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it's placed in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of the majority of airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
