Why We Love Suzuki Swift Key (And You Should Also!)
Suzuki Swift Replacement Key
If you've lost your keys, the first step is to take them back (coat and trouser pockets included). You may be prepared to show proof of ownership such as your vehicle registration or title.
If your car is more recent, it will have an transponder chip or smart key/fob, which requires programming to match the immobiliser in the vehicle. That's where an automotive locksmith comes in handy.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and start it without having to insert the key into the lock. This system makes use of radio waves that are sent by the vehicle and a keyfob which seeks the signals. If the key fob is in range of the radio signals, it transmits an encrypted code back to unlock the door and deactivates the vehicle's standard immobiliser that is in the engine control module (ECU).
Some systems also offer remote ignition features that allows you to start your vehicle with a key fob or a button on the dash panel. This feature is invaluable in times when you must go out to buy groceries or if your keys are locked inside.
It's the most obvious benefit. It allows you to enter your vehicle without having to search for your keys in the dark, which can be difficult when you are carrying lots of things. This system can be used to unlock the hatch and trunk that is ideal for those who carry lots of cargo.
If your keyless start or entry does not work it could be due to the battery in your key fob. If this is the problem it is usually evident by looking for buttons on the back of the key fob that you can press. If this doesn't help it could be necessary to bring your vehicle to a locksmith or a professional dealer to have the key fob programmed.
Immobiliser
The Immobiliser is a built-in anti-theft device that prevents you from starting your car without an ignition key. It works by matching a digital code stored in the key or key fob with a unique code embedded in the vehicle's ECU. When the codes are in sync, the ECU will trigger the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes don't match the car will not start when the fuel pump or ignition circuit is blocked.
The Immobiliser is effective in preventing thieves from hot wiring or igniting your vehicle however it's not 100% secure. The most determined criminals are able to defeat it. It is important to take other, more sensible security measures in place, including keeping valuables away from view and not leaving them in the car when you're away from it.
A faraday pouch is an additional security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it difficult for thieves and criminals to intercept and copy the signal. Suzuki's most recent models have another measure of security that requires that the key be placed close to the ignition when it is switched on.

Modern immobilisers remain vulnerable to attacks from criminals with advanced capabilities, despite these measures. In one study conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to rob three cars of a popular brand and crack the immobiliser in just six minutes by exploiting known weaknesses in the system.
Security System
Suzuki's are among the top-selling automobiles on Australian roads. They also come with an inbuilt immobiliser system to prevent them being hot wired. The key contains a tiny transponder chip approximately the size of one PS1 penny, that communicates an individual code to electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU doesn't receive this message when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, the vehicle will not start.
Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed system up to the year 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 was taken off the market, but a 2-button Hellfire remote (also made by Advance Security) is still available and can be ordered at Remotes Unlimited.
After 2000 the first year of production, all new Suzukis are equipped with a key-lock system that is factory installed. This system has an immobiliser built in. The key is fitted with an extremely small chip that functions as a transponder. It is concealed under the cap made of plastic. The chip contains a sophisticated code that the vehicle's ECU will look 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 and the car does not start, it will not start. The problem can be difficult to solve, but our Auckland auto locksmiths are adept at fixing it quickly and cost-effectively.
