They are also in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.
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 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 on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanning tool to locate the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to come up with new methods.
Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if the car is "hot wired" after entry it will shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire an expert do the work and make sure that everything is installed correctly and operates.
Transponders
Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.
Transponders are also utilized in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies, and then transmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in cell phone networks function.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly located on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders to manage flight paths and ensure security.
Many personal keys contain a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.
The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
