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
The number of car thefts began to decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to bypass security systems. The early immobilisers could be removed by scanning the code on the chip and then copying it onto a blank key. But www.thekeylab.co.uk has advanced and thieves have to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means that they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from running until the key that is required is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entry this will stop the engine after 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.
As with any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. It is best to have experts handle the job to make sure that everything is installed correctly and works.
Transponders
Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal upon being questioned. This helps maintain separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits back is different depending on the type of system.
Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then retransmit signals on a different frequency, much like the way repeaters function in terrestrial cell phone networks.
Advanced passive transponders can be found on board aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and ensure safety.
Many personal keys contain transponder chips in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it's inserted in the ignition lock.
A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
