They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. seat keys replacement will also be able to help you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat 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

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties, the number of car thefts began fall, but thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by employing a scanner to locate the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to come up with new methods.

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

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like a computer the immobiliser can develop problems and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob could need to be replaced. The best thing to do is always go for a professional to carry out the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is probed. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder transmits back is different depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. They receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on an additional frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information, such as the aircraft's position speed, altitude, speed and route. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage routes and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders some personal keys include a transponder chip. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
