The loss of a car key is a frequent occurrence and can be a real problem. However the process of getting a new one from a dealer is expensive.

They are also equipped to assist you in the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat 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

As car immobilisers became more popular in the late nineties car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided 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 had to come up new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and the approval of security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from running until the key that is required is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entry it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer, the immobiliser may be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will need to be replaced. It is recommended to hire experts handle the job, as they will ensure that everything is properly installed and works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is operating on a radar system and helps maintain separation between planes. The information the transponder sends back varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks and other networks of communication. They receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders control routes and ensure safety.

Many personal keys contain a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can use to switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
