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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to drop, but thieves are smart and constantly searching for ways to bypass security systems. The early immobilisers could be defeated by using a scanner to locate the chip's coding and then copying it onto the blank key. But technology has improved and thieves are forced to think of new methods to get around security systems.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. This means they have been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is responsible for the grading system, as well as the approval of aftermarket security devices for automobiles and alarm devices, such as car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will send a coded message to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the key that is required is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" upon entry and it stops the engine within 30 seconds and prevent it from being able to start.

Transponders

Transponders are devices which transmits an identifying signal when interrogated. This signals the aircraft's location to air traffic control when it is in an active radar system and helps maintain the separation between aircrafts. The identifying information sent back by the transponder is different based on the type of system used.

Transponders are also employed in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a variety of frequencies, and then transmit the signals on a different spectrum like repeaters in cell phone networks function.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation including the aircraft's position, speed, altitude, and route. Air traffic controllers utilize the data from these transponders in order to control routes and ensure security.

Many keys for personal use have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips do not require batteries and are purely passive. This lets the ECU read the signal from the transponder once it is installed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of many aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code and helps it stand out in the busy air traffic control screen.
