Remotes

Most seat ibiza replacement key fob 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

The amount of thefts from cars began to decline as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the late 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner to locate the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has evolved and thieves have to devise new ways to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the system of grading and approval of the aftermarket security and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.

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

Of course, like a computer the immobiliser can develop issues, and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob could require replacement. It is best to have professionals handle the task to make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders send an identifying signal back when it is interrogated. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on a radar system and helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information that is transmitted by the transponder can differ based on the type of system being used.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. They receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then retransmit them at another frequency, just like repeaters work in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can use to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out on an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
