Remotes

Most seat key replacement 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 began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always looking for ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by scanning the chip's code and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from starting until the correct key is in place. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

As with an electronic device, the immobiliser could have issues and occasionally the internal battery or the key fob could require replacement. The best option is always go for an expert to complete the work, as this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is a device 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 using an active radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also utilized in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers use data from these transponders to manage flight paths and ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips as well as aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is installed into the ignition lock.

The flight deck on most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
