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

As car immobilisers became more popular in the last decade, car thefts began to decrease, however, thieves are smart and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner in order to find the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new tricks.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, 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. This will stop the motor from running without the correct key. If the car is "hot-wired" after entering and it stops the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with computers, immobilisers can develop problems and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob could require replacement. The best thing to do is always go for a professional to do the task, since it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a device that transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then retransmit them at another frequency, similar to how repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is installed into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and makes it stand out on a busy air-traffic control screen.
