Keys to your car are lost. seat ibiza key 's a common problem and can be a hassle to resolve, but getting a replacement key from a dealer is expensive.

They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They can also help you programme any 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 amount of thefts from cars began to decline when car immobilisers began to become popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However criminals are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able to get around the earlier immobiliser systems using a scanning tool to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've been forced to come up with new tricks.
Luckily, the majority immobilisers we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. This means that they've been tested and approved by the Thatcham Research organisation. This non-profit organisation is the system of grading and approval for aftermarket alarms and security equipment, including car immobilisers.
If the Thatcham approved immobiliser system is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. If the car is "hot-wired" upon entry this will stop the engine in about 30 seconds and make it impossible to start.
Like any computer that is used, the immobiliser could be prone to problems. Sometimes, the internal battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best thing to do is always go for a professional to carry out the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted correctly and that it works.
Transponders
Transponders are devices that sends back an identification signal when it is interrogated. This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information used to identify the aircraft transmitted by the transponder varies depending on the type of system that is used.
Transponders can also be found in satellites and spacecraft to connect with Earth systems such as cell phone networks, or other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit them on an additional frequency, much like the way repeaters function in land-based cell phone networks.
Advanced passive transponders can be located on aircrafts. They monitor the status of flight and provide information about navigation like the aircraft's position speed, altitude, and speed. Transponders provide information that air traffic controllers can use to manage flight paths and also ensure safety.
In addition to transponders for aircraft, many personal keys now contain a small transponder chip. The chips are passive and do not require batteries. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is put into the ignition lock.
The flight deck of many aircrafts includes a switch pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also choose an "ident" mode, which enables the transponder's unique squawk coding and help it stand out on an air traffic control screens.
