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
As car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the nineties, car thefts began to fall, but thieves are savvy and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to devise new tricks.
Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the system of grading and approval of security and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. If the car is "hot-wired" after entering and it stops the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.
As with any computer, the immobiliser may develop issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob may require replacement. The best thing to do is to always seek out an expert to complete the task as this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.
Transponders
A transponder is a piece of equipment which transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system, and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The identifying information sent back by the transponder is different based on the type of system that is used.
Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.
Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information like the aircraft's location, speed, altitude, and route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and also ensure safety.
Many personal keys contain transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can press to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
