If you've lost car key replacement Cost your keys, repeat the steps you took (including your pants and coat pockets). You may be prepared to present evidence of ownership such as a vehicle registration or title.

If your car is older, it may have an electronic transponder or smart key/fob which require programming to work with the immobiliser systems in the vehicle. That's where an automotive locksmith can come in handy.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock your car and start it without needing to insert the key into the lock. The system works by using radio signals emitted by the vehicle. Then, you have a key fob that scans for the signals. If the key fob is within range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back to unlock the door and deactivates the your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems also include a remote ignition feature that allows you to start your car by using the key fob or a button on the dashboard panel. This feature can be extremely useful when you need to go out to get groceries or if your keys are locked inside the car.

Convenience is the primary benefit. It allows you to access your car without having search in the dark with your keys which isn't easy if you're carrying a lot of stuff. You can even unlock the trunk or hatch using this system, which is perfect if you're hauling goods.

If this isn't working, you might have to take your vehicle to a professional locksmith or dealer to have the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is an inbuilt security device that blocks you from starting your car without a key. It works by matching the digital code that is stored in the key or key fob with a unique code embedded in the vehicle's ECU. When the codes are in sync the ECU will trigger the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes don't match, the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car won't begin.

While the Immobiliser can stop most thieves from stealing hot-wiring and starting your car, it is not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. It's important to take other precautions such as keeping valuables secure and not putting them in the car while you're away.

Another method of security is to use a faraday bag, which will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronic systems and make it impossible for criminals to intercept and replicate the signal. The most recent suzuki key fob models also have another security measure that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these precautions even today, modern immobilisers are susceptible to attacks by expert criminals. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to steal three popular cars and cracked the immobiliser in just six minutes using known weaknesses in the system.

Security System

Suzukis are some of the most well-known vehicles on Australian roads. They have a factory-installed immobiliser to keep them from being hot-wired. The key is a tiny transponder chip, similar to a PS1 penny, that communicates an exclusive code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU doesn't receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, the car will not start.

After 2000, the majority of new Suzukis will come equipped with a key lock system that comes with an immobiliser. The key is fitted with tiny chips that function as transponder. It is hidden beneath an aluminum cap. The chip contains a number that the ECU of the vehicle scans for when the key is turned in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key isn't compatible with the one in the ECU the car won't start.

Keys

Most Suzuki cars are fitted with a key that has the microchip (transponder chip) inside - smaller than the coins in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your vehicle reads the code from this chip and if it doesn't match it will not start. If you lose your sole key and don't have a spare, you'll need an auto locksmith professional with the right equipment to replace it.
