We've all been through that embarrassing moment in which we go back to the car to take off an infant's car seat replacement key cost, only to fail. It's embarrassing, and even frustrating, but it happens to the best of us.

Keys

Lost car keys are a frequent occurrence and can be a major hassle. However the process of getting a replacement key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a cheaper alternative and has the most up-to-date equipment and software that can help. All you will need is a VIN number and evidence of ownership to enable them to do the job. They'll also need to be aware of what kind of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you programme any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat 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

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the last decade, car theft rates began to drop, however thieves are always looking for ways around security systems. They were able to get into early immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has advanced and they've had to come up with new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading system and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the correct key is in place. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" following entry, the engine will cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop problems. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is to always hire a professional to carry out the task, since this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is questioned. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on a radar system. It also helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information that is transmitted by the transponder is different based on the type of system used.

Transponders are also present in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers rely on the data from these transponders in order to manage routes and ensure safety.

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

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
