Remotes

Modern lost saab key vehicles do not use keys made of metal to lock their vehicles. Instead, they use an immobilizer system based upon the recognition of a special chip embedded into every key. This is why a particular type of key is needed to unlock the car, and then insert it into the ignition. It is for this reason that anyone who is a Saab owner should always have a spare.

The classic metal keys are simple to duplicate however the issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob has to be matched to a particular car to allow the key to function. This is done in the car's computer components which are known as CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics). If you lose your sole working key in the process, it will cost your dealer a lot of money to replace these modules and program a new key.

Transponders

A transponder, or electronic chip, is a small electronic device that is embedded inside the key fob. It sends an unicoded message. It is a part of the immobilizer system that prevents thieves from using a stolen key to start your vehicle. The transponder signals from the key are picked up by the receiver located near the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers that are generated by the transmission. If the number is in line the vehicle's registration number, it's a good sign that the car is ready to. Transponder keys are used in the majority of cars built in the last two decades.

They are also used on aircrafts. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft with an encoded signal called IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircraft are equipped with transponders in modes C or S that transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also support collision avoidance systems.

The parts made of metal on the standard Saab Key are easy to duplicate. However the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer can be difficult to duplicate. If you have one of these, it is vital to protect it.

Everyone with a Saab should have at least two working keys for their car. If you lose the sole one that you have, it will cost much to replace it. It will require a new, specialized computer module, as well as the cost of a second key and programming to convince the car you aren't trying to steal it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers add another security measure to prevent thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They are designed to stop the engine from starting until they have the transponder on the proper key fob. Additionally many cars with immobilizers will also display an alert symbol in the instrument cluster that indicates the key isn't inside. If you lose your key fob, you'll have to visit an authorized dealer to get it removed from the system and obtain an alternative.

These systems are founded on encryption of data that goes between the transponder and the car's system. Recent studies have shown, however, that encryption sequences can be broken by computers. Consequently, they can easily be snuffed out by hackers who can read the messages that go back and forward on the CAN bus.

These systems are far more sophisticated than the traditional immobilizers that rely on one fixed code. The latest models come with an option of changing or rolling codes to make them more secure. The issue with these is that hackers still have the ability to find ways to break the code, and then use a key to start your vehicle. To address this issue, the DST80 has a longer code to make it more difficult to guess. Unfortunately, researchers were able to break this too. It's therefore important to keep your key fob in your pocket when you're not using it.
