Remotes
Most seat keys replacement 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 as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to sneak through the early immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder’s code chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they’ve had to devise new tricks.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device 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 available. This means that if the car has been «hot wired» after entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, rendering it impossible to start.
As with a computer the immobiliser can develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or the key fob may need replacing. It is best to have experts handle the job, as they will ensure that everything is properly installed and works.
Transponders
A transponder sends an identifying signal back when it is questioned. This identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system, and helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder can differ based on the type of system that is used.
Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then transmit signals on a different frequency, much like the way repeaters work in land-based cellular phone networks.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft’s position speed, altitude, speed and route. Air traffic controllers use the information from these transponders to manage flight paths and ensure safety.
Many personal keys contain a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips don’t require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder’s signal when it is put into 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 that lets the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes. This makes it stand out on the crowded air-traffic control screen.
