Remotes

Most seat keys 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 latter part of the nineties, car thefts began to decrease, however, thieves are smart and constantly searching for ways to bypass security systems. They were able get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to a blank key seat, but since then, technology has evolved and they've been forced to think of new methods.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. 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 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 in place. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry, the engine will cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob will require replacement. The best option is to always hire an expert to complete the task, since this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that transmits an identifying signal upon being questioned. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder can differ based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. They receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum like repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly found on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use the information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
