They will also be equipped to assist you in 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 seat leon car key battery replacement , transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.
Immobilisers
Since car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the nineties, car theft figures began to fall, but thieves are smart and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The early immobilisers could be removed by scanning the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new ways to get around security systems.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell 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 system of grading and approval for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" following entry, the engine will stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will need to be replaced. The best thing to do is to always seek out an expert to do the work as this will ensure that everything is installed properly and functions.
Transponders
Transponders are devices that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.
Transponders can also be found on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other communication networks. These devices receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them on another frequency, similar to how repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths, and also ensure safety.
In addition to transponders for aircraft Many personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it is placed in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders off or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out on the busy air traffic control screen.
