They can also assist you to program any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat replacement key 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

As car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the nineties, car theft rates began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly looking for ways around security systems. The initial immobilisers were bypassed by using a scanner to find the chip's code and copying it onto a blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new methods to get around security systems.

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

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is in place. This means that if the vehicle is "hot wired" after entry the engine will be shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could have issues. Sometimes the internal battery or seat arona key cover fob will require replacement. It is best to have professionals handle the task to ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is on a radar system, and helps maintain separation between airplanes. The information that the transponder transmits back is different according to the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecrafts and satellites to communicate with Earth systems like cell phone networks or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals in a variety frequencies, and then transmit signals on a different frequency, similar to how repeaters function in land-based cell phone networks.

Advanced passive transponders can be located on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location, speed and altitude. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and ensure security.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips as well as aircraft transponders. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is placed in 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 choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder transmit its unique squawk code and helps it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
