They can provide flip keys, remotes, and even Fobs. They will also be capable of helping 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 number of car thefts started to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always on the lookout for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanning tool to find the code on the transponder chip and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.

Luckily, the majority of 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 and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as 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 starting until the key that is required is present. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry, the engine will shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the battery inside or the key fob could need to be replaced. The best option is always go for a professional to carry out the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identifying signal back when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control when it is operating on a radar system. It also helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other communication networks. They receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit them on an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, speed and the route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now have a small transponder. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
