They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you create new keys.

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

The number of car thefts started to decrease since car immobilisers became more popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around early immobiliser systems by using scanners to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to think of new tricks.

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

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from running until the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry it will cut out within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

As with any computer that is used, the immobiliser could be prone to problems. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best option is always go for an expert to complete the task, since this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal to the receiver when it is interrogated. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system. It also helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders are also present in spacecrafts and satellites to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is placed in the ignition lock.

The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out in an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
