Suzuki Swift Replacement Key

If your car is more recent or has been updated, it could have a transponder or smart fob which require programming to match the immobiliser systems within the vehicle. That's why an automotive locksmith comes in handy.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock your car and then start it without having to insert your key into the lock. The system works by using radio waves that are generated by the vehicle and a keyfob is searching for the signals. If the fob falls within the range of the signals, it sends an encoded code that unlocks the doors and disarms the immobiliser system of the vehicle located in the engine control unit (ECU).

Certain systems come with a remote-ignition feature that lets you start your car with the key fob or a button on the dashboard. This feature is invaluable when you need to run out and buy groceries, or if your keys are locked inside.

The most obvious benefit of having a keyless entry system is the convenience. You can get into your car without having to fiddle with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you're carrying many things. This system can be used to unlock the trunk and hatch which is great when you're carrying tons of cargo.

If your keyless entry or start doesn't work it could be the battery in your key fob.

If this fails, you may require taking your car to an expert locksmith or dealer to get the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is an inbuilt security device that blocks you from opening your car without a key. It works by matching the digital code that is stored in the key fob or key with a unique code embedded inside the vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match to each other, the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match the car will not start in the event that the fuel pump or ignition is not working.

While the Immobiliser can stop most thieves from hot-wiring or even starting your car, it's not foolproof and could be defeated by determined criminals. It is important to take other precautions such as keeping valuables hidden and not putting them in the car when 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 electronics making it difficult for criminals to steal and copy the signal. The most recent suzuki alto key models also have a second security measure that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition when turning it on.

Despite these measures however, modern immobilisers remain vulnerable to attacks by expert criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher from the University of Amsterdam, tried to steal three vehicles of a popular brand and then crack the immobiliser in just six minutes using known weaknesses.

If the ECU isn't able to receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, the vehicle will not start.

The original keyfob that came with this system featured the Suzuki brand on the front and FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob has been removed, but a two-button Hellfire remote (also manufactured by Advance Security) is still available and is available at Remotes Unlimited.

After 2000, all new Suzukis will come equipped with a key lock system with a built-in immobiliser. The key is fitted with tiny chips that function as transponder. It is concealed under the cap of a plastic. The chip has a sophisticated code that the vehicle's ECU looks for when you turn the key in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match that of your ECU and the car does not start, it will not start.
