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 started to decrease since car immobilisers became more popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. The early immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has evolved and thieves have to devise new ways to get around security systems.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers that 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 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, which stops the motor from running without the proper key. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" following entry it will cut out within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Of course, like computers, the immobiliser may develop problems and sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to have an expert do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.
Transponders
A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is questioned. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps to maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information that the transponder sends back varies according to the kind of system.
Transponders are also employed in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then retransmit them at another frequency, just like repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.
Advanced passive transponders can be used on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information, such as the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and also ensure security.
Many personal keys include transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is put into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of many airplanes contains a switch that pilots can use to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
