seat replacement key 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 decline as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However the criminals are always looking for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the transponder's chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then, technology has improved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.
Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the system of grading and approval 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 correct key is in place. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" after entry the engine will be shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
As with an electronic device, the immobiliser could be affected and the internal battery or the key fob might need to be replaced. It is recommended to have an expert do the work to ensure that everything is properly installed and functions.
Transponders
A transponder is an instrument that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder sends back varies according to the kind of system.
Transponders are also utilized in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in cell phone networks operate.
Transponders with sophisticated technology are commonly used on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders manage flight routes and ensure safety.
In addition to transponders for aircraft Many personal keys have a small transponder. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is installed in the ignition lock.
Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
