We've all been there when we reach into the back seat car key to loosen the car seat key fob replacement of our child and fail. It's embarrassing, frustrating, and isn't uncommon for everyone.

Keys

A lost car key is an issue that is common and can cause a huge difficulty. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an affordable alternative and they'll be equipped with the most recent software and equipment to assist you. All you will need is a VIN number and proof of ownership to allow them to carry out the work. Another thing they'll require is the type of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be in a position to assist 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 since car immobilisers became more popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to get into early immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to devise new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if the car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can have issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. It is best to have experts handle the job to ensure that everything is properly installed and is working.

Transponders

Transponders send an identifying signal when it is probed. This helps keep a distinct 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 transmits back is different according to the type of system.

These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit those signals in a different frequency like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders to control the flight path and ensure safety.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is installed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts includes a switch pilots can use to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out on the busy air traffic control screen.
