Suzuki Swift Replacement Key

If you've lost your keys, repeat the steps you did (including your pockets for your coat and trousers). You might be asked to show evidence of ownership, for example your vehicle's title or registration.

If your car is older or has been updated, it could have an electronic transponder or smart key/fob which require programming to match the immobiliser system within the vehicle. A locksmith in the automotive industry can assist.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to lock and start your vehicle without having to insert a key in the lock. This system uses radio signals that are emitted from the vehicle, and the key fob searches for the signals. When the key fob comes in range of the radio signals, it sends an encrypted code back to unlock the door and disarms your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems also include remote ignition that allows you to start your vehicle with a key fob or a button on the dash panel. This feature could be lifesaving in case you need to go out to get groceries or if your keys get locked in the car.

Convenience is the most obvious benefit. You can enter your car without having to fumble with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you are carrying a lot. You can even unlock the trunk or hatch using this system, which is ideal for those who are hauling heavy items.

If your keyless start or entry isn't working it could be the battery inside your key fob. You can usually find out whether this is the case by looking on the back of your key fob to see an option to open it. If this fails, you may have to take your vehicle to a professional locksmith or dealer to have the key fob programed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is an inbuilt anti-theft system that blocks your vehicle from starting without an ignition key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key fob or the key to the unique code embedded in the vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match then the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes don't match then the fuel pump and ignition circuit will be stopped and your car won't start.

The Immobiliser is effective in preventing thieves from using hot wires or starting your vehicle however it's not completely foolproof. The most determined criminals are able to defeat it. This is why it's crucial to take other security measures in place, including keeping valuables out of view and avoiding leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.

A faraday pouch is an additional security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it much more difficult for criminals and thieves to steal and duplicate that signal. The latest Suzuki models also have an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition when turning it on.

Modern immobilisers are susceptible to attacks by criminals with advanced skills despite these precautions. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the University Amsterdam, tried to steal three vehicles that were popular and smashed the immobiliser in less than six minutes by using known weaknesses.

Security System

Suzukis are some of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. They have a factory-installed immobiliser to keep them from being hot-wired. When you use the ignition key to start your car, there's a transponder chip within it which is a bit smaller than a PS1 coin that sends an unique code to the electronic control unit (ECU). If the ECU doesn't receive this code when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your vehicle will not start.

From 1996 onwards, Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed systems. The first was produced by Advance Security. The original keyfob displayed the suzuki ignis key swift car key replacement (linked webpage) logo on the front and the FCC ID B23AT54 at the back. The original keyfob is not available, but Remotes Unlimited offers a two-button Hellfire Remote (also made by Advance Security).

After 2000 the new Suzukis are equipped with a key-lock system that is factory installed. The system comes with an immobiliser integrated into. The key contains a tiny transponder embedded beneath a head made of plastic. The chip contains a sophisticated code that the car's ECU searches for when you insert the key into the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key doesn't match the one in your ECU, the car will not start. Auckland auto locksmiths can resolve the issue fast and easily even if it's an issue that is difficult to fix.

Keys

Most Suzukis are equipped with a key that contains a microchip (transponder chip), which is smaller than a coin you carry in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your car reads the code from the chip and if it doesn't match, it will not start.
