Keys

Lost car keys are a common problem and can be a real troublesome issue to solve however, getting a replacement key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a less expensive alternative and has the most up-to-date tools and software to assist. All you will need is an VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to do the job. They'll also have to know the kind of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also help you programme 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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties the number of car thefts began decrease, however, thieves are smart and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and certification system for aftermarket automotive alarms 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, which stops the motor from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry, it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like an electronic device, the immobiliser could develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob could require replacement. The best option is to always hire a professional to do the task, since it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identifying signal back when it is being 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 sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also present in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. They receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often located on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information on navigation such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Air traffic controllers use data from these transponders to control the flight path and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

seat key  of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can activate to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
