Keys

A lost car key is an issue that is common and can be a major trouble. However, getting a new key from a dealer could be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an alternative that is less expensive and they will have the most recent software and equipment to assist you. All you will need is an VIN number and evidence of ownership to enable them to complete the task. They'll also need to know the type of key that you require. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They are also in a position to assist you with 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

The amount of thefts from cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new ways to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have 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 automotive aftermarket security and alarm 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, which stops the motor from starting without the correct key seat. If the car is "hot-wired" after entering and it stops the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Of course, just like computers, immobilisers can have issues and occasionally the internal battery or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire professionals handle the task to make sure everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

Transponders send an identifying signal back when it is interrogated. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system. It also helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to communicate with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit signals on another frequency, just like repeaters function in land-based cell phone networks.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically located on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage routes and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts includes a switch pilots can turn their transponders 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 an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
