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 decline as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able get through the early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to locate the transponder's chip, and then copying it to a blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to come up with new tricks.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting until the correct key is in place. If the car is "hot-wired" after entry, it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.
Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire a professional do the work and ensure everything is installed correctly and functions.
Transponders
A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is probed. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is operating on a radar system and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information that the transponder transmits back is different according to the kind of system.
Transponders are also used in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals at a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on a different frequency, much like the way repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's location, speed, altitude, and route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and ensure safety.
In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is inserted in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can activate to turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
