Keys

Lost car keys are a common issue and can be a real hassle. However the process of getting a replacement key from the dealer can be expensive.

Remotes

Most Seat 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

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the last decade, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to sneak into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the transponder's chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to think of new methods.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the motor from starting without the proper key. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" following entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with a computer the immobiliser can develop problems and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob could need to be replaced. It is best to hire experts handle the job and make sure that everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal back when it is probed. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system and helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The identifying information sent back by the transponder can differ based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also found in spacecraft and satellites to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit them at another frequency, similar to the way repeaters work in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and also ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, a lot of personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is installed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many airplanes contains a switch that pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
