Remotes

Most seat key fob 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 decrease, however, thieves are savvy and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. The initial immobilisers were defeated by using a scanner to find the chip's code and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has evolved and thieves have to devise new ways to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organisation is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from starting until the correct key is available. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entering this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob might require replacement. It is recommended to have a professional do the work to make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal upon being questioned. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the kind of system.

Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them on an additional frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often located on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to manage routes and ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. 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 or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes and helps it stand out in an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
