Keys

Keys to your car are lost. It's a common occurrence and can be a hassle to resolve, but getting a replacement key from a dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they will have the most up-to-date software and equipment to help you out.

They are also able to help you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat replacement 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 began to decline since car immobilisers became more popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by employing a scanner to find the transponder's chip and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've had to think of new methods.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of the aftermarket security and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from running until the correct key is available. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine after 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

As with computers, immobilisers can develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need replacing. The best option is always go for a professional to do the task, since this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it works.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system and helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies according to the type of system.

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

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

In addition to transponders for aircraft Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is installed into the ignition lock.

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