seat car key programmer lost are an issue that is commonplace and can be a real troublesome issue to solve However, getting an exchange key from the dealer can be expensive.

They can supply flip keys, remotes 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
As car immobilisers became popular in the late nineties car theft rates began to decrease, however, thieves are smart and constantly looking for ways around security systems. They were able get around early immobiliser systems by using a scanner tool to find the transponder's chip and then copying it to a blank key, but since then, technology has evolved and they've had to develop new ways to get around them.
Fortunately the majority of the immobilisers we supply and fit are Thatcham Cat 2 approved. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and approval system for the automotive aftermarket alarm and security devices, such as 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 running until the correct key is in place. This means that if a car is "hot wired" following entry the engine will be cut out within 30 seconds, making it impossible to start.
Of course, like a computer the immobiliser can have issues and occasionally the battery in the interior or the key fob could require replacement. It is best to have a professional do the work, as they will make sure that everything is installed correctly and functions.
Transponders
Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is interrogated. This allows for the separation between aircrafts and signals an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is using an active radar system. The information the transponder sends back varies depending on the kind of system.
Transponders are also utilized in space vehicles and satellites to communicate with Earth-based systems such as cell phone networks and other networks for communication. They receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit those signals in a different frequency like repeaters on land-based cell phone networks work.
Sophisticated passive transponders are often used on aircrafts. They are utilized to monitor the status of the flight and provide information on navigation such as the aircraft's location as well as speed, altitude and the route. Air traffic controllers use information from these transponders to control flight paths and ensure security.
Many personal keys include a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips don't require batteries, and are therefore passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal whenever it is installed into the ignition lock.
A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that permits pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out on a busy air-traffic control screen.
