Keys

Lost car keys are an issue that is common and can be a major difficulty. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer could be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer an alternative that is less expensive and the most recent equipment and software to aid. All you will need is an VIN number and proof of ownership in order for them to complete the task. Another information they'll require is the kind of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They are also equipped to assist you in the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat key replacement price 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 car thefts began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly searching for ways to bypass security systems. The early immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner in order to find the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority 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 approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the motor from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entry this will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with computers, the immobiliser may develop problems and sometimes the battery inside or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is recommended to have a professional do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is a device that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system and helps to maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system that is used.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them at a different frequency, just like repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically used on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide navigation information, such as the aircraft's position speed, altitude, speed and the route. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders to control the flight path and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys come with a tiny transponder. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it's placed in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
