They are also in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.

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 theft rate of cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the late 1990s. However replacement seat key are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to develop new tricks.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including 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 blocks the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" following entry the engine will be stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like all computers that is used, the immobiliser could develop problems. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. It is best to hire an expert do the work to make sure that everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal to the receiver 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 the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a range frequencies, and then transmit the signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders in order to control flight paths and ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes and helps it stand out an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
