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

Remotes

Most seat arona 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 more popular in the latter part of the nineties, car thefts began to drop, however thieves are smart and always looking for ways around security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided by scanning the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have to devise new tricks.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is in place. If the car is "hot-wired" after entry it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

As with a computer the immobiliser can develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or key fob could require replacement. The best option is to always hire an expert to complete the work as this will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it functions.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that transmits an identifying signal upon being questioned. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control if it is in an active radar system and helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information that the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit those signals using a different spectrum like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders in order to control flight routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders, a lot of personal keys have a small transponder. These chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is put into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
