Remotes
Most seat arona key 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.

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 late nineties, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be removed by using a scanner to locate the code on the chip and then copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new ways to get around security systems.
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 organisation is responsible for the grading system and the approval of the aftermarket security and alarm devices, 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 unless the correct key is available. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" after entry, the engine will cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can be prone to problems. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best thing to do is to always hire a professional to carry out the work as this will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.
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 using an active radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.
Transponders are also utilized in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a variety of frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.
Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information such as the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and route. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders in order to manage flight paths and ensure security.
In addition to aircraft transponders, a lot of personal keys have a small transponder. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is installed into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts has a switch that pilots can turn their transponders off or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and helps it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
