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

Since car immobilisers became popular in the last decade, car theft figures began to drop, but thieves are smart and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They were able get into early immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to locate the transponder's code chip and then copying it onto the blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to think of new ways to get around them.

Fortunately, the majority of 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 grading system and approval system for aftermarket automotive alarms and security devices, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which prevents the engine from starting until the correct key is present. If the vehicle is "hot-wired" following entry, it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.

Like computers, immobilisers can develop problems and sometimes the battery in the interior or the key fob may need replacing. It is recommended to hire professionals handle the task, as they will ensure that everything is properly installed and operates.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identifying signal back when it is probed. This helps keep a distinct line between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies according to the type of system.

Transponders are also present in satellites and spacecraft to communicate with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks or other networks for communication. These devices receive incoming signals across a variety of frequencies, and then transmit them at an additional frequency, similar to how repeaters work in land-based cell phone networks.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often found on board aircraft. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation like the aircraft's location speed, altitude, speed and route. Air traffic controllers use data from these transponders to control routes and ensure security.

In addition to transponders for aircraft, a lot of personal keys include a transponder chip. These chips do not require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder signal when it is installed into the ignition lock.

The flight deck of the majority of aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to turn their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder to transmit its unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
