Remotes

Most seat leon spare key 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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties the number of car thefts began fall, but thieves are smart and always looking for ways around security systems. The first immobilisers could be removed by using a scanner to find the chip's coding and then copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new tricks.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as 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 proper key. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" following entry it will stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Of course, just like an electronic device, the immobiliser could develop issues, and sometimes the battery inside or the key fob could require replacement. It is best to hire experts handle the job to ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.

Transponders can also be found in spacecraft and satellites to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. They receive signals at various frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information about navigation, such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths, and ensure safety.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is put into the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch 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's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
