We've all been through that embarrassing moment when we get back in the car to take off an infant's chair, only to fail. It's embarrassing, and even frustrating, but it happens to the very best of us.

Keys

Lost car keys are an everyday occurrence and can be a major trouble. However the process of getting a replacement key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a cheaper alternative and has the most up-to-date equipment and software to aid. To allow them to perform the task, you will only need an VIN and proof of ownership. Another thing they'll need is the type of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They will also be in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon key fob drivers keep a seat spare key 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 theft rate of cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were defeated by using a scanner to find the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has evolved and thieves have had to come up new ways to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. 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.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from running until the correct key is present. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" following entry it will cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Of course, like an electronic device, the immobiliser could be affected and the battery in the interior or the key seat fob could require replacement. It is best to hire experts handle the job to ensure that everything is properly installed and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identifying signal when interrogated. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is operating on a radar system and helps to maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information sent back by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them at another frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders, a lot of personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is put into the ignition lock.

The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
