Remotes

Most seat leon key replacement 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 since car immobilisers became more popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They could get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has evolved and they've been forced to develop new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the system of grading and approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

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

Of course, like a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the internal battery or key fob may need replacing. The best thing to do is to always hire an expert to do the work, as this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder sends back varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and route. Air traffic controllers rely on the data from these transponders to control routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk code and makes it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
