Keys

A lost car key is a common issue and can be a major hassle. However the process of getting a new one from a dealer could be expensive.

Another thing they'll need is the type of key you need. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be equipped to assist you in 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanner tool to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it to the blank key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've had to devise new ways to get around them.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. 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, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle which prevents the engine from starting without the proper key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry, it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

As with computers, the immobiliser may develop problems and sometimes the battery inside or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire a professional do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.

Transponders are also found in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then retransmit them at another frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and seat replacement key the route. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes, and also ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips, in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is installed into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
