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 more popular in the last decade, car thefts began to drop, however thieves are always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by using a scanner in order to find the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from running without the proper key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. It is best to hire experts handle the job to make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identifying signal when it is interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is in an active radar system. It also helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information that the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies, and then transmit the signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders to manage routes and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is installed into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
