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 began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner to find the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new ways to get around security systems.
Luckily, the majority of 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 the aftermarket security and alarm systems, which includes 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 stops the engine from running until the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop problems. Sometimes, the battery or key fob will require replacement. The best option is always go for a professional to carry out the work, as this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and works.
Transponders
A transponder sends an identifying signal when it is questioned. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is in an active radar system, and helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the type of system.
Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a variety of frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and ensure safety.
In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it's placed in the ignition lock.
seat key fob g28carkeys.co.uk of aircrafts have a button 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 broadcast its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out on the busy air traffic control screen.
