Keys

The loss of a car key is a common issue and can be a major difficulty. However the process of getting a new one from the dealer can be expensive.

To permit them to complete the job, you'll only require a VIN and proof of ownership. They'll also need know the kind of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also assist you to program new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon 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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, the number of car thefts began drop, but thieves are always looking for ways around security systems. The early immobilisers could be removed by scanning the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers that we supply 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, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Of course, like computers, the immobiliser may have issues and occasionally the battery in the interior or the key fob could need to be replaced. It is best to have professionals handle the task and ensure that everything is properly installed and works.

Transponders

Transponders send an identification signal back when it is probed. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system. It also helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information sent back by the transponder varies depending on the type of system that is used.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them on a different frequency, much like the way repeaters work in land-based cellular phone networks.

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 and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can make use of to manage flight routes and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it is installed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out on the busy air traffic control screen.
