A lost car key is an everyday occurrence and can be a major difficulty. However finding a new key from a dealer is expensive.

They can supply flip keys, remotes, and even Fobs. They can also help you create 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, car theft rates began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by using scanners to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then technology has advanced and they've had to devise new methods.

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


If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

As with an electronic device, the immobiliser could have issues and occasionally the internal battery or the key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to hire an expert do the work and ensure that everything is properly installed and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different according to the type of system.

Transponders are also found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit signals on another frequency, just like repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

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

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is put into the ignition lock.

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