Remotes

Most seat leon car key replacement 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’s circuit.

Immobilisers

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the latter part of the nineties, car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly looking for ways around security systems. The initial immobilisers were removed by scanning the chip’s coding and then copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to devise new methods to get around security systems.

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

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from running until the key that is required is present. This means that if a car has been “hot wired” after entry the engine will be stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Of course, just like computers, the immobiliser may develop problems and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob could require replacement. It is best to hire a professional do the work, as they will ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is probed. This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and also 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 kind of system used.

Transponders are also found 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 frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum like repeaters in cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft’s position, speed, altitude, and the route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes and ensure security.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips, in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips don’t require batteries and are completely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder once it is inserted in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can use to turn their transponders off or off. They can also choose an “ident” mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
