Remotes

Modern Saab vehicles do not use keys made of steel to secure their vehicles. Rather they have an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a special chip inside each key. This is why the car only starts when a particular type of key (called"key-fob" or "key-fob") is used to unlock the car and insert it into the ignition. This is among the primary reasons for a responsible Saab owner to always keep a spare key handy.

The traditional metal keys are easy to duplicate however the problem is that the electronic component of a key-fob needs to be matched to a specific car in order for the key to function. This is accomplished through the computer modules of the car, which are called CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE.

Transponders

A transponder can be described as an electronic chip in a key fob which emits a unique coded signal. It is 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 near the ignition. The receiver decodes serial numbers that are generated by the transmission. If the number matches the car will start. Transponder keys are used in all cars produced in the last two decades.

They are also used on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft with the IFF signal, which is a coded signal. (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped with mode C or Programmers mode S transponders that transmit identifying codes as well as altitude to ATC. They also include systems for collision avoidance.

The parts made of metal 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 secure these keys if you own one.

Anyone who owns a Saab must have at least two working keys for their car. If you lose only one and you lose it, it will cost an enormous amount to replace it. You'll need to purchase an electronic module for your computer and a second key and program the car to convince it that you're not trying to steal it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers add another layer of protection against hotwiring. They prevent the engine from being started until the transponder on the key fob is in order. The majority of cars equipped with immobilizers display a warning indicator in the instrument cluster, indicating that the key is not in the. If you have lost your key fob, you'll need to go to an authorized dealer to get it removed and then get an alternative.

These systems are based on the encryption of data between the transponder system and the car. However, recent studies have revealed that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to crack. Hackers could bypass them by analyzing the messages transmitted back and forth over the CAN bus.

These systems are more sophisticated than the traditional immobilizers that rely on one fixed code. The newer versions have an option of changing or rolling codes to ensure they are secure. The problem with these codes is that hackers still have the ability to find ways to crack the code, programmers and then use a key to start your vehicle. To overcome this issue, the DST80 has an extended code that makes it more difficult to determine. Sadly, researchers were able to get around this. It is important to keep your keyfob with you, even when not using it.
