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

The amount of thefts from cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to bypass security systems. The initial immobilisers were avoided by using a scanner in order to find the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have had to come up new methods to get around security systems.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as 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 stops the engine from starting until the correct key is present. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob might need to be replaced. The best thing to do is to always seek out a professional to carry out the task, since this will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that it functions.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identification signal back when it is interrogated. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder is different 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, or other networks for communication. They receive signals across a variety of frequencies, and then transmit signals on another frequency, similar to the way repeaters function in land-based cellular phone networks.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's position speed, altitude, speed and the route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers make use of to manage flight routes, and ensure security.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder's unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out a busy air-traffic control screen.
