industrynews • 37 PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE Alan Jurrius National Chairman What is the takeup on your Workshops for Members? What topics covered are most in demand? Workshops can be a challenge but I find that hands-on workshops work better on the whole than product evenings. Transponder technology is current and safe work is always popular. It looks as though LASA plays much emphasis on the sharing and dissemination of knowledge and experience between its members. We have seen similar attitudes in America but in the UK, this sharing is not common. Do you think this has something to do with the size of the countries in question and maybe the element of competition for business? We also find that not everybody likes to share information - especially if the competition is around; however, most of our members will assist in sharing knowledge with fellow LASA members. You set very high ethical standards for your members: does this mean that you screen carefully all applicants for membership? How do you do this? We have a detailed membership form that all members must complete. We also send an existing member to check out the premises to make sure the business has the machines and other equipment to do the job properly. The company must also have at least one qualified locksmith employed whom we carefully check for their qualifications and experience. Does LASA have a voice within regional/ national government? LASA works closely with PSIRA, the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority in South Africa, as well as the SETA, the government Economic Development Department, which is also a training institution and funds training programmes for the industry. South Africa is an evolving Republic with many challenges ahead. How do you see your industry developing in the future in order to meet these changes? By keeping up to date with latest developments in all kinds of security technology, ensuring strong emphasis on training and providing professional, courteous customer service. At LASA, we pride ourselves on being part of a professional security industry that upholds high standards across the board. ID48 Cloning is Now Cracked with Megamos! »»JFK once said “we choose to go to the moon... not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” Sit back and think about all those things that have been thought of being impossible since the dawn of time. Human beings flying, communicating with the other side of the world instantly, landing on the moon. So many Impossibilities, but man has always endeavoured to overcome them. Even Captain Kirk told of the SS Enterprise’s 5 year mission in the final frontier of Space. And today we announce another frontier, one that was once thought impossible to overcome, the ability to clone the VW ID48 chip. Many have tried to achieve this, and all have failed until now… until Keyline! Welcome to Megamos Crypto Cloning Kit from Keyline, the WORLD’s first ID48 cloning system, now available at Tradelocks! Megamos is an extention to the brilliant Ultegra Cloning system that uses a live internet link to help calculate the ID48 chip code. Users can buy the Megamos from Tradelocks, and link it to their Ultegra. The locksmithjournal.co.uk | MAY/JUN 2015 Sponsored by ASSA ABLOY Megamos starter kit comes with everything that is required plus a special TKM cloning head. All the user needs to do is to add the VW HU66 Horseshoe to the TKM head to generate a very high quality cloned key! Cloning takes an average of 10 to 30 minutes depending on the vehicle being worked on, and the Megamos comes with full step by step instructions. David Jennings says of Megamos, “The Megamos Crypto Cloning Kit simply proves that – like us - Keyline is at the forefront. With the Megamos system, almost anyone can now clone an ID48 chip on models up to around 2003. And the cost of the ID48 cloned key will cost the user around £19.50+VAT which is a remarkable price, and I am certain almost everyone involved in cloning will want to buy it!” The Megamos is available from Tradelocks at only £219+VAT, and Electronic TKM heads for the ID48 cloning are just £16.99+VAT. It can clone a number of cars including Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi and Seat. Full details: www. tradelocks.com/keylinemegamos-crypto-kit.html
