Remotes

Most seat arona key cover drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement seat car 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's circuit.

Immobilisers

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to fall, but thieves are smart and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by scanning the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new tricks.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

Like all computers it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire an expert to complete the task as it will ensure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identification signal back when it is questioned. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on a radar system. It also helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information that is transmitted by the transponder is different based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also found in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other communication networks. They receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit the signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure safety.

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

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
