Remotes
Most Seat 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
When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the last decade, car theft rates began to fall, but thieves are smart and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get through the early immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've been forced to devise new tricks.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, 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 which prevents the motor from starting without the correct key. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could have issues. Sometimes, seat ibiza replacement key cost or key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have a professional do the work, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and functions.
Transponders
A transponder transmits an identification signal to the receiver when it is questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies depending on the kind of system.
Transponders are also employed in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals at various frequency and then retransmit signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks function.
Advanced passive transponders can be found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's location speed, altitude, speed and route. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure security.
Many personal keys contain transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is installed into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of many aircrafts includes a switch pilots can activate to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
