suzuki swift car Keys Swift Replacement Key

If you've lost your keys, you must first retrace your steps (coat and trouser pockets included). You may be asked to show evidence of ownership, such as the title of your vehicle or registration.

Then, if your vehicle is recent, it may have transponder chips or a smart key/fob, which requires programming to match the immobiliser system in the vehicle. A locksmith for automotives can assist.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and then start it without the need to insert your key into the lock. The system works by using radio waves that are sent by the vehicle and a keyfob is searching for the signals. If the key fob falls within range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back to unlock the door, and also disables the car's standard immobiliser, which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Certain systems also include remote ignition, which lets you start your car with the key fob or an on the dashboard panel. This feature could be lifesaving if you have to run out for groceries or your keys are locked inside the car.

Convenience is the primary benefit. You can get into your car without having to fumble with your keys in the dark, which can be difficult when you're carrying lots of things. This system can be used to unlock the hatch and trunk and is a great option for people who are carrying lots of cargo.

If your keyless entry or push-button start doesn't work, there could be an issue with the key fob battery. You can usually tell whether this is the case by checking the back of your key fob and looking for an option to open it. If this doesn't work it could be necessary to bring your vehicle to a locksmith or a professional dealer to have the keyfob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is an integrated anti-theft system that blocks your car from starting without a key. It works by comparing the digital code in the key fob or key with a specific code that is embedded inside the vehicle's ECU. When the codes are in sync the ECU will start the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes do not match the car won't start when the fuel pump is not working or ignition circuit is blocked.

The Immobiliser is effective in preventing thieves from using hot wires or igniting your vehicle, but it's not foolproof. Determined criminals can defeat it. It is essential to take other security measures such as keeping valuables hidden and avoiding leaving them in the car while you're away.

Another way to protect yourself is to utilize a faraday pouch which blocks the signal between the key fob and the car's electronic systems and make it more difficult for criminals to intercept and copy the signal. The latest suzuki key programming models also feature an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these precautions, modern immobilisers are still susceptible to attacks by expert criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the University Amsterdam, attempted to rob three popular vehicles and crack the immobiliser in six minutes by using known weaknesses.

Security System

Suzukis are among the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. They come with a factory installed immobiliser to prevent them from being hot-wired. The key contains a tiny transponder chip, about the size of one PS1 penny, which transmits an exclusive code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU doesn't receive this code, when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your vehicle will not start.

Until 1996, Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed systems. The first was made by Advance Security. The original keyfob had the Suzuki logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 at the back. The original keyfob is not available, however Remotes Unlimited still has a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also manufactured by Advance Security).

After 2000 the new Suzukis are equipped with a key-lock feature that is installed by the factory. The system comes with an immobiliser built in. The key contains a tiny transponder chip that is hidden beneath a head made of plastic. The chip is a source of information that the ECU of the vehicle is looking for when the key is put into the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match the one that is in your ECU, the car will not start. The problem can be quite difficult to repair but our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to do it quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys

Most suzuki swift keyless entry automobiles are equipped with a key with a microchip (transponder chip) inside. It's much smaller than the coin you carry in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition the ECU in your car reads the data from this chip, and if it doesn't match, it will not start. If you have lost your key and don't have a spare you will require an auto locksmith that is equipped to replace it.

I supply and program two or three Suzuki transponder keys and smart key fobs every week, they are quite easy to program. If you've lost your keys, then you will need to visit your locksmith or dealer with a good diagnostic equipment to code your new replacement. This process can be as long as a week for genuine suzuki alto key fob dealers. Auto Locksmiths have this equipment for coding and can complete the process much faster and cheaper. However, this is not the case for keys that are not transponder and do not require code.
