Keys

Keys to your car are lost. It's common and can be a real troublesome issue to solve However, getting an replacement key from a dealer can be expensive.

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

Remotes

Most seat key transponder 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. 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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties the number of car thefts began drop, but thieves are smart and always looking for ways around security systems. The first immobilisers could be avoided by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to come up new ways to take advantage of security systems.

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

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the key that is required is present. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" following entry it will stop working within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.

As with any computer, the immobiliser may be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob may require replacement seat car key. It is best to have experts handle the job and ensure that everything is properly installed and is working.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identifying signal when it is probed. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other communication networks. These devices receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in cell phone networks operate.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to control routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder when it's inserted in the ignition lock.

The majority of 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 transmit its unique squawk codes and makes it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
