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.

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

The number of car thefts started to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to bypass security systems. They were able get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has advanced and they've had to come up with new ways to get around them.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry, it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like all computers that is used, the immobiliser could develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. The best option is always to hire an expert to complete the work as it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it functions.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is questioned. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive incoming signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them on an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes, and also ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes and makes it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
