Keys
The loss of a car's key is an issue that is common and can be a real problem. However the process of getting a new one 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. To enable them to carry out the task, you will only need a VIN and proof of ownership. They'll also have to be aware of the kind of key you require. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They are also equipped to assist you in the programming of 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
The number of car thefts started to decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanning tool to find the transponder's chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to develop new tricks.
Luckily, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if the car is "hot wired" after entry it will cut out within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like all computers that is used, the immobiliser could develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. It is recommended to have experts handle the job and make sure that everything is installed correctly and is working.
Transponders
Transponders transmit an identifying signal back when it is being probed. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The identifying information sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.

They receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks operate.
Advanced passive transponders can be found on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure safety.
A lot of personal keys have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it's installed in the ignition lock.
The flight deck on most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to turn their transponders off or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out in the busy air traffic control screen.
