Keys
Lost car keys are an issue that is commonplace and can be a troublesome issue to solve, but getting an exchange key from the dealer is expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths can offer an alternative that is much less expensive, and they'll have the most up-to-date software and equipment to help you out.

They can also assist you to program 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 when car immobilisers began to become popular in the late 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to get around security systems. The early immobilisers could be bypassed by using a scanner in order to find the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. However, technology has advanced and thieves have had to devise new tricks.
Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means they've been tested and certified by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organization is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm devices, including 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 running until the correct key is in place. If the car is "hot-wired" following entry, it will stop the engine after 30 seconds and will make it impossible to start.
Of course, like a computer the immobiliser can develop issues, and sometimes the internal battery or key fob could need to be replaced. It is best to have an expert do the work to ensure that everything is properly installed and functions.
Transponders
A transponder is an instrument that transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information the transponder relays to air traffic control varies depending on the type of system.
Transponders are also used in satellites and space vehicles to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. They receive signals at a range frequency and then retransmit signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in cell phone networks work.
Often sophisticated passive transponders can be found on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation including the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths and also ensure security.
In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. seat leon key programming allows the ECU to read the signal of the transponder once it is put into the ignition lock.
The majority of aircrafts have a switch on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also choose an "ident" mode that lets the transponder to transmit its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out an air-traffic control panel that is busy.
