Most seat leon replacement key cost (olderworkers.com.Au) 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

They could get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to locate the code on the transponder chip and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has evolved and they've had to think of new tricks.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket 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. This will stop the engine from starting without the correct key. If the vehicle is ”hot-wired” after entry this will stop the engine within 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.

Like computers, immobilisers can develop problems and sometimes the internal battery or key fob could need to be replaced. It is best to have an expert do the work, as they will ensure everything is installed correctly and functions.

Transponders

A transponder transmits an identification signal to the receiver when it is being probed. It is used to identify the aircraft to air traffic control when it is operating on a radar system and helps maintain separation between planes. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder is different based on the type of system used.

Transponders are also found in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems like cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit those signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in land-based cell phone networks work.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders to control flight routes and ensure security.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts includes a switch pilots can activate to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also choose an ”ident” mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
