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
The number of car thefts began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner to locate the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new ways to get around security systems.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the motor from running without the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.
As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best option is to always hire a professional to do the task, since this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and works.
Transponders
A transponder is a piece of equipment which transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.
Transponders are also used in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them on an additional frequency, similar to how repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly located on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation including the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders to manage flight routes and ensure security.
Many personal keys contain a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder once it is inserted in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can turn their transponders off or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
