Remotes
Most
seat keys drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting
replacement seat car key 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 popular in the late nineties, the number of car thefts began drop, but thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. They were able get into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to think of new ways to get around them.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organization is the grading and certification system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle which prevents the engine from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entering and it stops the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.
As with computers, immobilisers can have issues and occasionally the battery in the interior or the key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to have experts handle the job and ensure everything is installed correctly and works.
Transponders
A transponder is a device that sends back an identifying signal upon being questioned. This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the kind of system.
Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. They receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position, speed and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and also ensure safety.
In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now include a transponder chip. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is put into the ignition lock.
The flight deck on most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can activate to turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out in a busy air-traffic control screen.
