Keys
Lost car keys are a common problem and can be a problem to handle however, getting an replacement key from the dealer can be expensive.

All you require is an VIN number and proof of ownership to permit them to perform the task. The other information they will require is the kind of key you need. They can provide flip keys, remotes and even Fobs. They can also assist you to program 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. 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
Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties, car theft figures began to drop, however thieves are smart and constantly trying to find ways to get around security systems. They were able to sneak through the early immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder's chip and then copying it onto 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 immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system and the approval of security and alarm devices, including car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.
As with any computer it is possible that the immobiliser will have issues. Sometimes the internal battery or key fob might require replacement. It is best to hire an expert do the work to make sure that everything is installed correctly and operates.
Click Webpage transmits an identification signal back when it is probed. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system, and helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder differs based on the kind of system used.
Transponders are also employed in satellites and space vehicles to connect 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 them at an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.
Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information including the aircraft's position along with speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to manage the flight path and ensure security.
In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is installed into the ignition lock.
The flight deck on most aircrafts has a switch that pilots can turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
