Remotes

Most seat leon spare key cost drivers keep a seat leon spare key 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

As car immobilisers became more popular in the latter part of the nineties, car theft rates began to decrease, however, thieves are always looking for ways around security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to think of new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting until the correct key is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entering and it stops the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

As with any computer, the immobiliser may be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. The best option is always go for an expert to do the work as it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identifying signal when it is probed. This allows for the separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can activate to switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes, which helps it stand out in a busy air-traffic control screen.
