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 amount of thefts from cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always looking for ways to get around security systems. They were able to sneak through the early immobiliser systems employing a scanner 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 of the immobilisers we offer and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This not-for-profit organization is the grading and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, which includes car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting until the correct key is available. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be stop working within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.

Like all computers it is possible that the immobiliser will develop issues. Sometimes, the battery or key fob may require replacement seat key. It is recommended to hire experts handle the job to make sure that everything is installed correctly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders are devices which transmits an identifying signal when it is questioned. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control if it is on a radar system and helps to maintain separation between planes. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder can differ based on the type of system that is used.

Transponders can also be found in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems, like cell phone networks and other networks for communication. These devices receive signals at various frequencies, and then transmit the signals in a different frequency similar to how repeaters on land-based cell phone networks operate.

Often sophisticated passive transponders may be located on aircraft. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft’s position along with speed and altitude. These transponders provide data that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths, and also ensure safety.

Many personal keys contain transponder chips, in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU 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 select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk number and help it stand out on a busy air traffic control screen.
