They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also assist you to 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

The amount of thefts from cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems employing a scanner to find the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to devise new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if the vehicle has been "hot wired" after entry it will cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Of course, like computers, immobilisers can have issues and occasionally the battery inside or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is recommended to have an expert do the work and ensure everything is installed correctly and operates.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identifying signal when it is questioned. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder can differ based on the kind of system used.

Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at various frequencies and then retransmit the signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders control flight routes and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder whenever it is inserted in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most aircrafts includes a switch pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out on a busy air-traffic control screen.
