Remotes The latest Saab cars do not use traditional metal keys for their security. Instead, they utilize an immobilizer system based on the recognition of a particular chip that is embedded in every key. This is why the car can only start when a specific type of key (called a “key-fob”) is used to unlock it and then insert it into the ignition. This is among the primary motives for a smart Saab owner to always have a spare key on hand. The traditional metal keys can be copied easily but the issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob has to be matched with a specific vehicle in order to function. This is accomplished through the computer modules of the car, referred to as CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE. The dealer will charge a lot to replace the modules and program a new one in case you lose your sole key.

Transponders A transponder or electronic chip, is an electronic chip that is embedded in the key-fob. It sends an individual coded message. It is part of the immobilizer system that prevents thieves from using stolen keys to start your vehicle. The transponder signal is detected by a receiver close to the ignition, which determines the serial number from the transmission. If the number matches the car's number, it will start. Transponder keys are utilized in all cars produced in the last two decades. They are also used on airplanes. Air traffic control uses them to identify friendly aircraft through the use of a coded signal known as IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe). Certain aircraft are equipped transponders in mode C or S, which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have collision avoidance systems. The metal components on the standard Saab Key are easy to duplicate. However, the microchip which communicates with an immobilizer could be difficult to copy. It is crucial to ensure the security of these keys in the event that you own one. Every Saab owner should have two keys that work. If you lose the only one that you have, it will cost an enormous amount to replace it. You'll need a new computer module as well as the cost of a second key as well as programming to convince the car that you aren't trying to take it. Immobilizers Immobilizers provide another layer of protection to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They are designed to stop the engine from running unless the transponder is located on the correct key fob. Additionally the majority of cars equipped with immobilizers will also have an indicator in the instrument cluster that shows that the key isn't within. If you lose your keyfob you'll need to go to a dealer to disable it and then purchase a new one. These systems are based on the encryption of information between the transponder system and the vehicle. saab 9-3 key fob replacement have shown, however, that these encryption sequences are able to be cracked by computers. Hackers are able to bypass them by reading the messages transmitted back and forth on the CAN bus. These systems are far more sophisticated than traditional immobilizers which use one fixed code. Modern models have a system that rolls or changes codes to increase the security of the system. The issue with these is that hackers can still find ways to break the code and use a key to start your car. To fix this issue the DST80 has an extended code that makes it more difficult to guess. Sadly researchers were able get around this. It's therefore important to keep your key fob in your pocket even when you're not using it.
