They can also help you create new keys.
Remotes
Most Seat 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 late nineties car theft rates began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They could get into early immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder's chip and then copying it to the blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to devise new tricks.
Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" after entry and the engine is cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
As with an electronic device, the immobiliser could develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob could need to be replaced. It is recommended to have a professional do the work and make sure that everything is installed correctly and operates.
Transponders
A transponder transmits an identifying signal when it is questioned. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on an active radar system and helps to maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the kind 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. They receive signals at a range frequency and then retransmit signals in a different frequency like repeaters on land-based cell phone networks function.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders to control the flight path and ensure security.
In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it is installed in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can activate to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
