If your car is more recent is equipped with an electronic transponder or smart key/fob which require programming to match the immobiliser systems in the vehicle. That's where an automotive locksmith is useful.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and then start it without the need to insert the key into the lock. This system uses radio signals that emanate by the vehicle. Then, you have the key fob searches for these signals. If the key fob falls within the range of radio signals, it transmits a code back that unlocks the door and deactivates the your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).
Some systems include 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 a lifesaver if you have to run out for groceries, or if your keys are accidentally locked in the car.
It's the most obvious benefit. You can access your car without having to fumble with your keys in the dark, which is difficult when you're carrying loads. You can even unlock the hatch or trunk with this system, which is great for transporting items.

If suzuki swift smart key programming doesn't work you, you might need to bring your vehicle to a professional dealer or locksmith to have the key fob programmed.
Immobiliser
The Immobiliser is an integrated security device that blocks you from starting your car without an ignition key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key fob or the key to the unique code that is embedded in your vehicle's ECU. Once these codes match, the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes don't match the fuel pump and ignition will be blocked and your car won't start.
The Immobiliser is effective in preventing most thieves from hot wiring or re-starting your vehicle however it's not completely foolproof. The most determined criminals are able to defeat it. This is why it's essential to keep other sensible security measures in place, including keeping valuables away from view and not leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.
A faraday pouch is another security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it much more difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and steal that signal. Suzuki's newer models include another security measure which requires that the key be placed close to the ignition whenever it is switched on.
Despite these measures, modern immobilisers are still susceptible to attacks by expert criminals. In one study, researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to rob three vehicles that were popular and then crack the immobiliser within six minutes using known flaws in the system.
Security System
Suzuki's are amongst the most popular vehicles on Australian roads and they have an inbuilt factory immobiliser to protect them from being hot wired. The key is equipped with tiny transponder chips about the size of a PS1 penny, that communicates an individual code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU is not receiving this code when you insert the ignition key into the barrel, your car will not start.
In the years prior to 1996, Suzuki dealers used two different dealer-installed systems. The first was manufactured by Advance Security. The original keyfob was branded with the Suzuki logo on the front, and the FCC ID B23AT54 on the back. The original keyfob was removed, however a two-button Hellfire remote (also manufactured by Advance Security) is still available and can be ordered at Remotes Unlimited.
After 2000, the majority of new Suzukis will come equipped with a factory key-lock system which comes with an immobiliser. The key contains a tiny transponder chip that is hidden beneath a head made of plastic. The chip is packed with a complicated 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 does not match the one that is in your ECU then the car will not start. The issue can be a bit tricky to fix however our Auckland auto locksmiths know how to fix it quickly and cheaply.
Keys
The majority of Suzuki cars come with a key with microchip (transponder chip) inside. It's much smaller than the coin in your pocket. When you insert your key into the ignition barrel and turn it on, the ECU in your car reads the data from the chip and if the code doesn't match, the car will not start. If you have lost your key and don't have a spare in your possession, you will require an auto locksmith that has the equipment needed to replace it.
I program and supply two or three Suzuki transponder keys and smart key fobs each week, they are quite simple to do. If you've lost all your keys, you will need to go to your locksmith or dealer with decent diagnostic equipment because they'll need to program the new replacement to your vehicle. This process can take up to a week for genuine Suzuki dealers. Auto Locksmiths are equipped with this equipment for coding and can perform the process much faster and less expensive. This is not the case for non-transponder metal keys, which do not require codes.
