Keys
The loss of a car's key is an issue that is common and can cause a huge problem. However, getting a new key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they'll have the most up-to-date software and equipment to help you out.

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 spare 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 amount of thefts from cars began to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by scanning the chip's code and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has evolved and thieves have had to devise new methods to get around security systems.
Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting until the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry and the engine is stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. The best option is always go for a professional to carry out the work as it will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it works.
Transponders
A transponder is a device which transmits an identifying signal when it is questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder can differ based on the type of system that is used.
Transponders are also found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks and other networks of communication. These devices receive signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit signals on a different frequency, similar to how repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location, speed and altitude. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes and also ensure safety.
Many personal keys contain a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it's put into the ignition lock.
The flight deck on most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can use to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
