Remotes

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 decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always looking for ways to circumvent security systems. They could get around the earlier immobiliser systems employing a scanner to locate the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it to the blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to think of new methods.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of automotive aftermarket security and alarm devices, such as 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. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry and the engine is shut down within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Transponders

A transponder is a piece of equipment that sends back an identification signal when interrogated. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control if it is on a radar system. It also helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The information the transponder sends back varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders can also be found in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks operate.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often found on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide navigation information including the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and route. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now include a transponder chip. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it's inserted in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk code and help it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
