Car plip remote control

If you own a car, then you surely have a plip on you! The plip is simply a remote control that remotely locks and unlocks car doors. Why is the name “plip” used? This term comes from the name of its inventor, Paul Lipschutz, who invented and created this high-tech accessory in 1978.

This electronic opening or closing system replaces the traditional mechanical key. Moreover, the plip also controls the gates, garages, entrance doors … Professional locksmiths have all the skills to repair this computerized system when it breaks down.

Sometimes it is necessary to reprogram the remote control. Here are some additional explanations about the car fold…

How does the plip work?

You don’t need to have a traditional key to open the car door or trunk.

With the plip, you control the opening or closing remotely, being only a few meters away. A short-range radio transmitter (a radius of 5 to 20 meters depending on the model) is integrated into the remote control. When the user presses the button, a digital coded signal is emitted by radio waves to a receiver that has been placed inside the car.

The signal is clear: lock or unlock the doors.

There are also older infrared systems.

This technical innovation appeared in 1982 and the first vehicles to test this high-tech key in North America was the American manufacturer General Motors.

Variable frequencies

Radio frequencies are not identical in different countries. There are 315 MHz for North America, compared to 433.92 MHz for European countries and Japanese and Asian countries. It is the car manufacturer that programs the locksmith and smart card using a computer program.

For its part, the auto locksmith has the same tools to reprogram the keys

In case of doubt, whatever the brand of your car and the type of key, our locksmith expert answers all your questions…

What to do if the plip remote control fails?

The symptoms of failure are immediately identifiable: the remote control does not work, the door remains blocked. Fortunately, car manufacturers still provide a duplicate of the remote control that allows you to quickly use your vehicle.

On the other hand the key is well equipped with

In this case, it is necessary to detect the origin of the failure

The first check to perform is to check the status of the battery that is inside the remote control. On the latest generation vehicles, a message is displayed on the dashboard screen “battery to replace”.

To change the battery it’s simple:
It is necessary to unclip the case and change the battery, being careful to keep the same model and the same power. Be careful not to break the case by opening it because they are quite fragile accessories. Moreover, to protect them, the plips can be dressed with protective covers and covers.

If you have any doubt about the origin of the failure, you can contact a competent locksmith in Montreal and its surroundings who masters this kind of operation (Key programming with transponder).

Resynchronization of the plip remote control

If the replacement of the battery is not the cause of the malfunction then it can come from the code or a lag between transmitter and receiver. Resynchronization also called pairing or reprogramming is then necessary.

Reset procedures are often specific to each manufacturer.

Pairing is a method of reprogramming in case of a remote control change. This system allows the recognition of the key by the vehicle’s dedicated electronic system. It requires access to confidential identification data according to the manufacturers with a PIN code given at the time of purchase of the car or a witness key given with the registration certificate.
