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.

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 theft rate of cars began to decrease as car immobilisers became popular in the late 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to bypass security systems. They were able to sneak around the earlier immobiliser systems using scanners to find the transponder's chip and then copying it to the blank key, however since then technology has advanced and they've had to think of new ways to get around them.
Fortunately, the majority of 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 non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm systems, which includes car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from running until the correct key is in place. This means that if a car is "hot wired" after entry the engine will be cease to function within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
As with any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can have issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best thing to do is to always hire a professional to carry out the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and works.
Transponders
A transponder is a piece of equipment which transmits an identifying signal when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is operating on a radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies according to the type of system.
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 at an additional frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information, such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. seat leon key fob programming on the data from these transponders in order to control flight routes and ensure security.
Many personal keys contain transponder chips, as well as aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.
A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
