The receiver matches the code to an operation code that specifies what it should do, like unlocking the doors or rolling down the windows. The system is also designed to stop other people from using your key fob to unlock your car, since each transmitter is unique in code.

Modern cars come with systems that automatically lock the vehicle after you have walked away from it. This could be beneficial if you tend to forget things or worry about leaving your car unattended. However, these systems have disadvantages, such as the ability for thieves to hack into them.

The system comes with safeguards that ensure that the car is not started without intention when there is nobody around the steering wheel.

Like many modern smart keys, Suzuki Alto Key Programming's key fob is a wireless device that connects to the car by radio frequency. The transmitter is built into the fob, and its signal is picked by antennas on both sides of the vehicle.

Once the receivers detect the signal they will shut off the immobilizer, allowing the engine to turn over, just like normal keys would.

Keyless Remote Control

If your key fob doesn't work, it could have an issue with the physical structure, such as broken battery connector contacts or buttons. It could also be due to an issue with the software that requires reconfiguring. Simple tests with an voltmeter or multimeter determine if the battery is still in good condition and able to run the microprocessor of the remote.

Modern key fobs utilize RFID (radio-frequency identification) to communicate with the vehicle's computer. The key fob sends a digital code to the car's computer, which stores it so that the key can be opened and start your vehicle.

The key fobs emit a signal in the same frequency as a phone, and this technology can be utilized to remotely turn on certain car features like power lift gates or even to start the engine from outside the vehicle. Fobs can also emit an attention-grabbing blare to scare off thieves and other unwanted guests.

The most frequent reason for a key fob's ability to stop functioning is that the batteries have to be replaced. If this is the scenario, changing the fob's program can be done with a few simple steps.

Immobilizer

The Immobilizer, as you guess from its name, stops the vehicle from starting without a key fob. The system utilizes LF (low-frequency 125 KHz) transmitting antennas, which are activated when the key fob is held or its handle is pulled. The transponder chip inside the suzuki key fob programming fob then sends the ID back to vehicle. The module that knows about the vehicle's identity checks the ID of the key fob against the BCM and, if the two match the vehicle will then begin.

This system is very effective at deterring most carjackers, though it does not protect against the more technologically-advanced thieves. In a recent report security researcher Bokslag was able to stealthily hack three popular brands' immobilizers within ten seconds of receiving keys.

Most older vehicles employ the simpler, less reliable version of this system with a single, permanent personal code, and a dynamic second code that is read each time the key is turned on. Newer vehicles use an advanced, electronically-controlled Engine Immobilizer system that features two-tier security.
