Remotes

Most seat leon spare 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 theft rate of cars began to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. They were able get around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the system of grading and approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from starting without the correct key. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cut out within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible 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 recommended to hire professionals handle the task, as they will ensure that everything is properly installed and works.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal to the receiver when it is interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and seat leon Key programming signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit signals on an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and also ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can use to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk code and helps it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
