Keys
Lost car keys are a common issue and can be a real hassle. However, getting a new key from the dealer can be expensive.

They'll also need know the kind of key you require. They can supply flip keys, remotes, and even Fobs. They can also assist you to program any 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 figures began to decrease, however, thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. The first immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner to find the code on the chip and copying it onto a blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves are forced to think of new ways to take advantage of security systems.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated, it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle. This will stop the engine from starting if it does not have the proper key. This means that if a car has been "hot wired" following entry it will cease to function within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. It is recommended to have an expert do the work and ensure that everything is properly installed and functions.
Transponders
A transponder is a device that sends back an identification signal upon being questioned. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder varies depending on the type of system that is used.
Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at different frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft’s position and speed, as well as altitude. Air traffic controllers rely on the information from these transponders control the flight path and ensure safety.
A lot of personal keys have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are passive. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is installed in the ignition lock.
The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk codes and makes it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
