However, many people buy second-hand keys off the internet that are not programmed to their car. seat leon replacement key 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 started to decline since car immobilisers became more popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to find the transponder's 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 of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading system and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security equipment, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle, which stops the motor from running without the proper key. This means that if the car has been "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
As with computers, the immobiliser may develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or key fob could require replacement. It is best to have a professional do the work, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and works.
Transponders
Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is using an active radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system used.
Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals using a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigational information, such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, speed and the route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can utilize to control flight paths, and also ensure safety.
Many personal keys include transponder chips in addition to aircraft transponders. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is installed in the ignition lock.
The flight deck of most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes and helps it stand out the busy air traffic control screen.
