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 number of car thefts started to decline since car immobilisers became more popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to get around security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder's chip and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then, seat arona Key cover technology has advanced and they've had to think of new tricks.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded 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 has been "hot wired" after entry and the engine is stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like all computers it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. It is best to have an expert do the work and ensure that everything is properly installed and works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identification signal upon being questioned. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other communication networks. These devices receive signals at a range frequency and then retransmit signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically used on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information including the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders in order to control flight routes and ensure safety.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it's inserted in the ignition lock.

Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out on a busy air-traffic control screen.
