Remotes

Most seat arona key Cover drivers keep a spare remote in the house or seat arona Key Cover 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 increasingly popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They were able to sneak around early immobiliser systems by using a scanning tool to locate the transponder's chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.

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 organisation is the grading and certification system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting unless the correct key is in place. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry, the engine will cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like all computers, the immobiliser may develop problems. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best option is to always seek out a professional to carry out the work, as this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identification signal to the receiver when it is interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder sends back varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then retransmit them on an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is inserted in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder's unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
