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.

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 theft rate of cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able to sneak around early immobiliser systems by employing a scanner to locate the transponder's chip, and then copying it to the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to think of new ways to get around them.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. This means that if the car is "hot wired" after entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

As with any computer that is used, the immobiliser could have issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob may need to be replaced. It is recommended to have experts handle the job, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a device that sends back an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps maintain separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when 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 like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in cell phone networks function.

Advanced passive transponders can be located on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths and ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to detect the transponder signal once it is inserted into the ignition lock.

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