Remotes

Most seat ibiza 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 amount of thefts from cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were removed by using a scanner to find the chip's code and then copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new tricks.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from running until the correct key is in place. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can have issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. The best option is always to hire a professional to do the task as it will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it works.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identification signal back when it is interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.

Transponders are also employed in satellites and space vehicles to connect 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 in a different frequency, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's position speed, altitude, speed and route. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders control flight paths and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, a lot of personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and helps it stand out in an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
