suzuki Alto remote Key Swift Replacement Key

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

If your car is older, it may have a transponder or smart fob that require programming to match the immobiliser systems within the vehicle. A locksmith for automotives can assist.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock your car and then start it without having to insert the key into the lock. This system uses radio signals that emanate from the vehicle and a key fob which searches for the signals. If the key fob falls within range of the radio signals, it transmits a code back that unlocks the door and disarms your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Some systems also come with remote ignition that allows you to start your car with the key fob or an on the dash panel. This feature could save your life if you have to run out for groceries or your keys are locked in the car.

The primary benefit of keyless entry is the convenience. You can get into your car without having to fiddle with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you are carrying loads. This system can be used to unlock the trunk and hatch, which is great for those who carry lots of cargo.

If your keyless entry or push-button start isn't working it could be due to an issue with the key fob battery. If this is the case you'll be able to tell by looking for an option on the back of the key fob which you can press. If this fails, you may have to take your vehicle to a professional locksmith or dealer to get the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is a built in anti-theft device which stops you from opening your car without an ignition key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key fob or key to the unique code contained in your vehicle's ECU. Once the codes match the ECU will activate the fuel system and ignition. If the codes don't match the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car will not start.

While the Immobiliser does prevent most thieves from hot-wiring your vehicle, it's not foolproof and can be defeated by determined criminals. That's why it's important to take other reasonable security measures in place, including keeping valuables hidden from view and not leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.

Another option for security is to use 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 models also come with an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed near the ignition when turning it on.

Despite these measures the modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks by skilled criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the prestigious University of Amsterdam, attempted to steal three vehicles that were popular and smashed the immobiliser in six minutes using known flaws.

Security System

Suzukis are some of the most coveted vehicles on Australian roads. They are equipped with a factory-installed immobiliser to stop them from being hot-wired. The key contains tiny transponder chips roughly the size of a PS1 penny, that communicates an individual 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 car will not start.

Suzuki dealers installed two different dealer-installed systems to 1996. The first was made by Advance Security. The original keyfob was branded with the Suzuki logo on the front and the FCC ID B23AT54 at the back. The original keyfob is no more available, however Remotes Unlimited still has a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also manufactured by Advance Security).

After 2000, all new Suzukis will come with a key-lock system from the factory which comes with an immobiliser. The key contains a tiny transponder chip that is hidden underneath a plastic head. The chip contains a complex code that the car's ECU searches for when you turn the key in the ignition barrel. If the chip on the new key doesn't coincide with the one in your ECU it will not start. The issue can be a bit difficult to resolve but our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to program suzuki swift key to fix it quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys

The majority of suzuki swift keyless entry cars are fitted with keys that have a microchip (transponder chip) inside. It is 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 the chip. If it isn't compatible, it will not start. So, if you lose your key and do not have a spare, you will need to find an auto locksmith that is professional and has the right equipment to replace it.
