Remotes

Most seat ibiza key fob not working 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, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The initial immobilisers were bypassed by using a scanner in order to find the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from running until the correct key is available. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry it will cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can have issues. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. It is recommended to have an expert do the work, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is on a radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. They receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers use the information from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
