Remotes
Most seat ibiza replacement 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 seat's circuit.
Immobilisers
When car immobilisers began to become more popular in the late nineties, car theft rates began to decrease, however, thieves are savvy and always trying to find ways to get around security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it onto an unlocked key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've been forced to develop new methods.
Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we offer and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, including car immobilisers.
When 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 starting unless the correct key is in place. If the car is ”hot-wired” upon entry it will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

It is best to have an expert do the work to ensure everything is installed correctly and is working.

A transponder transmits an identification signal back when it is questioned. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information that is transmitted by the transponder differs based on the type of system being used.
Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks and other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at different frequency and then retransmit signals on a different spectrum, similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.
The most sophisticated passive transponders are typically found on board aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigation information including the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and route. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers use to manage flight paths and ensure safety.
Many keys for personal use have transponder chips in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is inserted into the ignition lock.
Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an ”ident” mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
