Keys

The loss of a car key is a frequent occurrence and can be a big hassle. However, getting a new key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer you a lower cost alternative and has the most up-to-date equipment and software that can help. All you require is an VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to complete the task. Another thing they'll require is the kind of seat leon key fob replacement you need. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also help you program new keys.

Remotes

Most seat key fob 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly looking for ways around security systems. The early immobilisers could be removed by using a scanner in order to find the chip's code and then copying it onto the blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves have to devise new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority 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, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the motor from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entering, it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

Like all computers, the immobiliser may be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will require replacement. The best thing to do is always go for a professional to do the work as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal back when it is probed. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and identifies 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 being used.

Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit those signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, and speed. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts has a switch that pilots can press to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
