Keys

Lost car seat key keys are a common issue and can be a real trouble. However finding a new key from a dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they will have the most recent software and equipment to help you out. To allow them to perform the job, you'll only need an VIN and evidence of ownership. The other information they will require is the kind of key you require. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also help you programme any new keys.

Remotes

Most seat leon key fob 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 decline as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the late 1990s. However thieves are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner in order to find the code on the chip and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves have to devise new ways to take advantage of security systems.

Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers that we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system and the approval of security and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved system is activated it will send a signal coded to the Engine Management System (EMS) of the vehicle that prevents the engine from starting if it does not have the proper key. If the car is "hot-wired" after entering it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Like all computers immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob might need to be replaced. It is best to hire professionals handle the task and make sure that everything is installed correctly and is working.

Transponders

A transponder sends an identifying signal when it is interrogated. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is in an active radar system, and helps maintain separation between planes. The identifying information sent back by the transponder is different based on the type of system used.

Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals in a variety frequencies, and then retransmit them on another frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location speed, altitude, and speed. Air traffic controllers rely on the data from these transponders to manage the flight path and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder once it is installed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many airplanes contains a switch that pilots can activate to turn their transponders off or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder's unique squawk code and makes it stand out on an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
