All you require is an VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to carry out the work. Another thing they'll need is the type of key you require. They can provide remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also assist you to program 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

The amount of thefts from cars began to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to evade security systems. The initial immobilisers were defeated by using a scanner to find the chip's code and copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the system of grading and approval of security and alarm systems, including 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 engine from starting without the proper key. This means that if the car is "hot wired" after entry the engine will be stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob may require replacement. It is best to have experts handle the job to ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identifying signal when it is questioned. seat car key transponder helps maintain separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder is different based on the kind of system used.

Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks work.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically located on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths and also ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is inserted into the ignition lock.

The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
