They are also in a position to assist you with the programming of 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. seat alhambra key G28 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 latter part of the nineties, the number of car thefts began fall, but thieves are savvy and always looking for ways around security systems. They were able get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've been forced to develop new tricks.
Fortunately, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they have been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is present. If the car is "hot-wired" after entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.
As with any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. It is best to have professionals handle the task to make sure that everything is installed correctly and works.
Transponders
Transponders transmit an identifying signal back when it is probed. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies according to the kind of system.
Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks function.
Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and ensure safety.
In addition to aircraft transponders, many personal keys now come with a tiny transponder. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is put into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
