AUTOMOTIVE LOCKSMITH

Types of car keys existing in the market

If you own a car, then you probably have one of its keys:

Standard smart key

This key does not have a remote unlock feature. To unlock your door you will have to insert it into the lock and then into the ignition to start your car.

Smart key with integrated remote control

In this case, the key has a remote control integrated into its box. The whole thing is in one piece as well as the blade.

Smart key also call push button system

This system is found in the latest vehicle models. It can unlock your doors remotely. Your vehicle detects the chip simply by being nearby or inside and all you have left to do and push the start button without having to insert the key physically like older models.

HOW DOES THE SMART KEY WITH INTEGRATED CONTROLLER WORK?

You don’t need to have a traditional key to open the car door or trunk.
With the smart wrench with integrated joystick, 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.

Normally, a flashing of the lights or a beep indicates that the door has been locked and 2 beeps indicate that the door has been unlocked. There is also another function that allows you to start the engine using the same type of technology.
Quebecers start their car from their living room and heat it up in winter (not very green)
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 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).

RESYNCHRONIZING THE CAR FOLD 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.

Access to this data is regulated, it remains the privilege of BSP licensed locksmiths
