Remotes

Most seat ibiza replacement key fob drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement seat car key keys from a dealer is expensive and time consuming. This is because most dealers will programme the seat 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 since car immobilisers became more popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new methods.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading and certification system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting until the correct key is present. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

As with computers, immobilisers can be affected and the internal battery or key fob could require replacement. It is best to have a professional do the work to ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder sends back varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit those signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths, and ensure safety.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes, which helps it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
