They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They are also 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 seat key 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 seat's circuit.

Immobilisers

The theft rate of cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanner tool to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is the grading system and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security 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 which prevents the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like an electronic device, the immobiliser could be affected and the battery inside or the key fob could require replacement. The best thing to do is to always hire an expert to do the task as it will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a device which transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information that is transmitted by the transponder is different based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. They receive signals at different frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in land-based cell phone networks work.

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

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
