Keys

UK Auto Locksmiths can offer a much cheaper alternative, and they will have the latest software and equipment to assist you.

They will also be able to help you with the programming of any 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
The number of car thefts began to decrease as car immobilisers became increasingly popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However seat arona key are always looking for ways to get around security systems. They were able get around early immobiliser systems by using scanners to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to an unlocked key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've had to think of new ways to get around them.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is the system of grading and approval for automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.
When the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. If the car is "hot-wired" after entering this will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.
Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could develop problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will require replacement. It is best to have experts handle the job to make sure that everything is installed correctly and operates.
Transponders
A transponder is a device that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps to maintain a clear line between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The identifying information sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system used.
Transponders can also be found in satellites and space vehicles to communicate with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals on a variety of frequencies and then retransmit the signals on a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks function.
Often, sophisticated passive transponders can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor flight status and provide information on navigation, such as the aircraft's position as well as speed, altitude and route. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths, and also ensure safety.
In addition to transponders for aircraft some personal keys contain a small transponder chip. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder when it is inserted in the ignition lock.
Most aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that enables pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on an air traffic control screen.
