They will also be able to help you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon key programming drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting seat leon replacement key 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

As car immobilisers became more popular in the last decade, car theft rates began to fall, but thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The initial immobilisers were defeated by using a scanner to find the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new ways to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the system of grading and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from running until the correct key is present. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" following entry, the engine will cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop problems. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may require replacement. It is best to hire an expert do the work, as they will make sure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that sends back an identifying signal when it is questioned. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control if it is in an active radar system. It also helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders are also utilized in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in land-based cell phone networks operate.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to manage flight paths and ensure security.

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

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
