Remotes

Most Seat Arona Key Cover drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement keys from a dealer is expensive and time consuming. This is because most dealers will programme the key using the car's computer which will need to be reset. However, many people buy second-hand keys off the internet that are not programmed to their car. This can be a much cheaper alternative to going to the dealer. But, these key will not start the car because they will not have a transponder chip inside them. You can see the chip (yellow) in this picture below, it is a Dual Inline Package or DIP 18 pin chip. There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, car theft figures began to fall, but thieves are smart and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

Like computers, immobilisers can have issues and occasionally the internal battery or key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to have professionals handle the task and ensure everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on a radar system and helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information the transponder transmits back is different depending on the kind of system.

Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position, speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and ensure safety.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips, in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can use to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
