A lost car key is an everyday occurrence and can be a real trouble. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer is 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.

They can supply flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They are also capable of helping you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon car key 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 car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are savvy and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanner tool to find the code on the transponder chip and then copying it to a blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to devise new methods.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from running without the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer, the immobiliser may develop problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. It is recommended to hire professionals handle the task, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is a device which transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is operating on a radar system. It also helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information that the transponder sends back varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive incoming signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them on a different frequency, similar to the way repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers rely on the data from these transponders in order to control flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now include a transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it is placed in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk code and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
