They will also be in a position to assist you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat key fob replacement 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

When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. The first immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner to find the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. But the technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the system of grading and approval of security and alarm systems, which includes 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 prevents the engine from starting if it does not have the correct key. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry this will stop the engine within 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

As with computers, immobilisers can be affected and the internal battery or key fob could require replacement. The best thing to do is always go for an expert to do the task, since this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal to the receiver when it is questioned. This helps maintain separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder can differ based on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit those signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers use the information from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have a transponder chip in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can use to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
