They can also assist you to programme 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 a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to fall, but thieves are savvy and always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by scanning the code on the chip and then copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.

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

As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob may require replacement. It is recommended to have professionals handle the task and ensure everything is installed correctly and works.

Transponders

A transponder is an instrument that sends back an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder varies depending on the type of system that is used.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. seat key receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks work.

Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly located on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and ensure safety.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is inserted in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes. This helps it stand out in the crowded air-traffic control screen.
