We've all had that embarrassing moment when we get back in the car to unbuckle an infant's car seat, only to fail. It's embarrassing, frustrating and occurs to everyone.

Keys

Lost car keys are a common occurrence and can be a major troublesome issue to solve however, getting an replacement key from a dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they will have the latest technology and tools to help you out. All you need is an VIN number and proof of ownership to allow them to perform the task. Another information they'll need is the type of key you need. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They are also capable of helping you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat car key cover 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 increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to evade security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner in order to find the chip's coding and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new ways to get around security systems.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, 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 that prevents the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry it will shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have experts handle the job and ensure that everything is properly installed and is working.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identifying signal when interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps to maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks or other networks of communication. They receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder's unique squawk code and helps it stand out in a busy air-traffic control screen.
