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 more popular in the last decade, the number of car thefts began drop, however thieves are smart and constantly trying to find ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were bypassed by using a scanner to find the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and certification system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from running without the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best thing to do is to always hire an expert to complete the work as this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument which transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.

Transponders are also present in spacecraft and satellites to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks of communication. They receive signals at different frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys contain a small transponder chip. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is put into the ignition lock.

The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
