Remotes
Most seat leon replacement key cost 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 last decade, car thefts began to decrease, however, thieves are always looking for ways around security systems. They were able get around the earlier immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to devise new methods.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting without the proper key. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry it will shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop problems. Sometimes, the battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is always go for a professional to carry out the task, since it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.
Transponders
A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identification signal when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system and helps maintain separation between planes. The information that is transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.
Transponders are also found in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies, and then transmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in cell phone networks operate.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigation information such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and ensure safety.
In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it's inserted in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
