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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car thefts began to drop, but thieves are savvy and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They could get into early immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the code on the transponder chip and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've had to come up with new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the motor from starting without the proper key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry and it stops the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can have issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob will need to be replaced. It is best to hire an expert do the work and make sure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also found in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on board aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location along with speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now come with a tiny transponder. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk number and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
