Remotes
Most
seat mii replacement key 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
When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly trying to find ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be defeated by scanning the chip's code and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new methods to get around security systems.
Luckily, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the engine from starting without the correct key. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
As with computers, the immobiliser may be affected and the internal battery or key fob may need replacing. The best option is to always hire an expert to complete the task as this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it functions.
Transponders
Transponders send an identifying signal back when it is being probed. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder is different based on the type of system being used.
Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them on an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on board aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location along with speed and altitude. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and also ensure safety.
In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is inserted in the ignition lock.
The flight deck on most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can press to turn their transponders off or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
