Remotes

Most seat leon spare key cost 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 more popular in the latter part of the nineties, the number of car thefts began drop, but thieves are smart and constantly looking for ways around security systems. They could get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to find the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to develop new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the system of grading and approval of the aftermarket security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting until the correct key is available. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" following entry and the engine is stop working within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. It is best to have professionals handle the task to ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information sent back by the transponder is different based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other networks of communication. They receive signals at a range frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation including the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk codes and helps it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
