They can also assist you to program new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon key fob programming 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 theft rate of cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be bypassed by scanning the chip's code and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to devise new ways to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the grading and certification system for aftermarket automotive alarms 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 correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will require replacement. The best thing to do is always to hire an expert to do the work as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is being probed. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder sends back varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other networks of communication. They receive signals at different frequencies, and then transmit the signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks function.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

Most airplanes 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 to transmit its unique squawk code and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
