Keys

A lost car key is an issue that is common and can cause a huge trouble. However finding a new key from a dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a less expensive alternative and use the most modern equipment and software that can help. To allow them to perform the job, you'll only require a VIN and evidence of ownership. The other information they require is the type of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They will also be equipped to assist you in 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, the number of car thefts began drop, but thieves are always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to get through the early immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it to a blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've had to devise new methods.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is the grading system and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the motor from running without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry this will stop the engine after 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Of course, just like a computer the immobiliser can be affected and the internal battery or the key fob could require replacement. The best option is always go for an expert to do the task, since this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

Transponders are devices which transmits an identifying signal upon being questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks of communication. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position and speed, as well as altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths, and also ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it's put into the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders.  seat car key cover  can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes, which helps it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
