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 as car immobilisers became popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However thieves are always on the lookout for ways to circumvent security systems. They were able get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto the blank key, however since then, technology has advanced and they've been forced to develop new ways to get around them.

Luckily, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organisation is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, such as car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which stops the engine from starting unless the correct key is in place. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" after entering it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

As with any computer immobiliser, the immobiliser can develop issues. Sometimes the internal battery or the key fob will require replacement. The best option is always to hire a professional to carry out the work, as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders are devices that transmits an identifying signal when it is questioned. This allows for the separation between aircraft and also signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder varies depending on the type of system being used.

Transponders are also found in spacecraft and satellites to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks, or other networks for communication. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then transmit them at another frequency, similar to how repeaters function in terrestrial cellular phone networks.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation such as the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders are able to provide information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths, and ensure safety.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip as well as aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries and are purely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder once it is inserted in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts is equipped with a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders either on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
