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 theft rate of cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the code on the transponder chip and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to think of new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry, the engine will stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may require replacement. The best option is to always hire a professional to do the work as this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal back when it is being probed. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The identifying information sent back by the transponder can differ based on the type of system used.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them at another frequency, similar to how repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location along with speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and also ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is put into the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
