Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Alternative Ways For Saying Suzuki Swift Key
Suzuki Swift Replacement Key
If you've lost your keys, first go back to where you left off (coat and trouser pockets included). You may need to be prepared to present proof of ownership like your vehicle registration or title.
If your car is more recent, it will have an transponder chip or smart key/fob which needs programming to match the immobiliser device in the vehicle. That's where an automotive locksmith can be of help.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry is a feature that lets you unlock and start your vehicle without having to insert a key in the lock. This system uses radio signals that are emitted by the vehicle. Then, you have a key fob which searches for the signals. If the fob is within the range of the signals, it will transmit a code that unlocks the doors, and also disables the immobiliser system of the vehicle located in the engine control unit (ECU).
Some systems offer a remote-ignition feature that allows you to start your car using the key fob, or a button on the dashboard. This feature can be a lifesaver when 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 get into your car without having to fiddle with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you're carrying lots of things. You can also unlock the trunk or hatch with this system, which is perfect if you're hauling items.
If your keyless entry or push-button start does not work it could be because of an issue with the key fob's battery. You can usually determine whether this is the case by looking on the back of your key fob and looking for the button that you can press to open it. If this doesn't work, you may have to bring your vehicle to a professional dealer or locksmith to get the keyfob programed.
Immobiliser
The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is a built-in anti-theft system that blocks your vehicle from starting without the use of a key. It works by matching the digital code contained in the key or key fob with a specific code that is embedded in the vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match with each other, the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes don't match the fuel pump or ignition circuit will be shut down and your car won't begin.
While the Immobiliser does stop a majority of thieves from hot-wiring or even starting your car, it's not foolproof and can be defeated by determined criminals. It is important to take other security measures in place, including keeping valuables hidden from view and avoiding leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.
Another option for security is to use a faraday bag, that will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronics making it difficult for criminals to steal and replicate the signal. The latest Suzuki models also feature another security measure that requires the key to be placed near the ignition when turning it on.
Modern immobilisers are susceptible to attacks from criminals with advanced capabilities, despite these measures. In one study, researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to steal three cars of a popular brand and crack the immobiliser in less than six minutes, using known weaknesses in the system.
Security System
Suzuki's are amongst the most popular cars on Australian roads. They also have an inbuilt factory immobiliser system to prevent them being hot wired. The key is a tiny transponder chip, roughly the size of the size of a PS1 penny, which transmits an individual code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU does not receive this code, when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your vehicle will not start.
Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed system up until 1996. The first system was produced by Advance Security. The original keyfob for this system featured the Suzuki brand on the front and FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob is no more available, however Remotes Unlimited still offers a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also manufactured by Advance Security).
After 2000, all new Suzukis come with a factory-installed key lock system. This lock has an immobiliser in the. The key is equipped with an extremely tiny transponder chip under a plastic head. The chip contains a complex code that the car's ECU searches for when you insert the key into the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key does not match that of your ECU then the car will not start. The issue can be quite difficult to fix, but our Auckland auto locksmiths are adept at fixing it quickly and cost-effectively.
Keys
Most Suzuki cars are fitted with a key that has microchip (transponder chip) inside - smaller than the coin that is in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition, the ECU in your car reads the code from the chip and if it doesn't match, it will not start. If you have lost your key and do not have a spare you will require an auto locksmith that has the right equipment to replace it.
I program and supply 2 or 3 Suzuki transponder keys and smart key fobs every week. They are simple to program. However, if you've lost all of your keys, you will need to go to your locksmith or dealer with a decent diagnostic tool, because they'll need to code the new replacement for your vehicle. This process could be as long as a week for genuine Suzuki dealers. G28 Car Keys have this equipment for coding and can do it much quicker and less expensive. This isn't the case with keys that don't require Coding.
