Keys to your car are lost. It's a common occurrence and can be a real pain to deal with and obtaining an exchange key from the dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they will have the latest technology and tools to assist you.

They can also help you program any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon 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

The number of car thefts started to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to get around security systems. The first immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner to locate the chip's code and copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the system of grading and approval of security and alarm systems, 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. This will stop the engine from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with computers, the immobiliser may develop issues, and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is recommended to hire an expert do the work to make sure that everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identifying signal back when it is questioned. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other communication networks. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum like repeaters on land-based cell phone networks function.

Advanced passive transponders can be used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location and speed, as well as altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and also ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts has a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
