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. 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 began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get into early immobiliser systems employing a scanner to locate the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to come up with new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, including car seat key immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry, it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

As with a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the battery inside or the key fob may need replacing. It is best to have a professional do the work, as they will make sure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is operating on a radar system and helps to maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also utilized in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, similar to how repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position speed, altitude, and speed. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths, and ensure security.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips, in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
