They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat exeo key programming 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 seat key. 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 started to decline as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They could get around early immobiliser systems by employing a scanner to find the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then, technology has improved and they've had to come up with new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and the approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from starting without the proper key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entry and it stops the engine after 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Of course, like a computer the immobiliser can develop problems and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire experts handle the job, as they will ensure everything is installed correctly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a device that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is operating on a radar system and helps to maintain separation between airplanes. The information that is transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system used.

Transponders are also used in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit them at a different frequency, similar to how repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information like the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and route. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to control the flight path and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

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