If you have lost your keys, go through the steps you took (including your pants and coat pockets). You might need to be prepared to provide proof of ownership such as your vehicle registration or title.

Next, if your car is newer it will have an transponder chip or smart key/fob, which requires programming to match the immobiliser device in the vehicle. An automotive locksmith can help.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is a feature that allows you to unlock and start your vehicle without having to insert a key in the lock. The system works by using radio waves that are released by the vehicle and a keyfob seeks them. When the key fob comes within the range of radio signals, it transmits an encrypted code back to unlock the door and deactivates the your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Some systems offer a remote-ignition feature that lets you start your car by using the key fob, or a button that is located on the dashboard. This feature could be lifesaving when you need to go out for groceries or your keys are locked inside the car.

The most obvious benefit of keyless entry is convenience. You can gain access to your vehicle without having struggle in the dark with your key it can be a challenge if you're carrying a lot of things. This system can be used to unlock the trunk and hatch and is a great option for those who carry lots of cargo.

If your keyless entry or push-button start does not work, there could be an issue with the key fob's battery. You can usually tell if this is the case by looking at the back of your key fob for a button that you can push to open it. If this doesn't work, you may require taking your car to a professional locksmith or dealer to get the key fob programmed.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is an integrated anti-theft device that prevents you from starting your car without the use of a key. It works by matching the digital code on the key or fob with the unique code in the vehicle's ECU. When these codes are compatible then the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match, the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car won't start.

While the Immobiliser can stop most thieves from stealing hot-wiring and starting your car, it's not foolproof, and it can be defeated by determined criminals. It is essential to take other measures, like keeping valuables safe and not putting them inside the car while you're away.

Another security measure is to make use of a faraday pouch which will block the signal between the key fob and the car's electronic systems and make it impossible for criminals to steal and copy the signal. The newest Suzuki models also include another security measure that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition while turning it on.

Despite these precautions even today, modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks by skilled criminals. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the University of Amsterdam, tried to steal three vehicles of a popular brand and then crack the immobiliser in less than six minutes using known vulnerabilities.

Security System

Suzuki's are among the top-selling vehicles on Australian roads. They also have an inbuilt factory immobiliser to protect them from being hot wired. When you use the key to start your car, there's a transponder chip within it - a little smaller than a PS1 coin - that transmits an individual code to the electronic control unit (ECU). If the ECU does not receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, the car won't start.

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

After 2000 all new Suzukis are equipped with a factory-installed key lock system. This system has an immobiliser integrated into. The key features a tiny transponder chip hidden beneath a head made of plastic. The chip contains a code 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 that of your ECU it will not start. The problem can be a bit tricky to solve, but our Auckland auto locksmiths are able to fix it quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys

Most suzuki key fob cars come with a key equipped with microchip (transponder chip) inside. It is smaller than the coins in your pocket. When you insert the key into the ignition barrel of your car, the ECU detects the code on the chip. If it does not match, the car won't start. If you lose your sole key and don't have a spare, you'll have to locate an auto locksmith who is specialized and has the right equipment to replace it.

I program and supply two or three suzuki splash key programming transponder keys and smart key fobs every week, and they are simple to do. If you've lost your keys, you'll need to visit your dealer or a locksmith who has decent diagnostic equipment to program your new replacement. Suzuki dealers will take anywhere from one to a week to complete this process. Auto locksmiths can code keys more quickly and at a lower cost because they have the required equipment. This isn't the case with non-transponder keys, which do not require the use of coding.
