Remotes
Most
seat leon 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
The amount of thefts from cars began to decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner in order to find the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to come up new ways to take advantage of security systems.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket alarms and security equipment, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting if it does not have the proper key. This means that if the car is "hot wired" following entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Of course, like computers, immobilisers can develop issues, and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob could need to be replaced. The best thing to do is to always hire an expert to complete the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.
Transponders
A transponder transmits an identifying signal back when it is being probed. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies depending on the type of system.
Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks function.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure safety.
Many personal keys include transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.
Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
