Remotes

Modern Saab automobiles do not have keys made of metal to secure their vehicles. Instead, they utilize an immobilizer device that is built around recognition and a unique chip embedded in each key. This is the reason why the car only starts when a particular type of key (called a "key-fob") is used to unlock the car and insert it in the ignition. This is one of the main reasons for a prudent Saab owner to always have a spare key in the car.

The classic metal keys are easy to copy, but the real issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob needs to be matched to a specific vehicle in order to function. This matching takes place in the computer modules of the car, called CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE.

Transponders

A transponder, or electronic chip, is a tiny electronic device that is embedded inside the key fob. It sends an unicoded message. It is part of the immobilizer that stops thieves from using a stolen key to start your car. The transponder signal is received by a device close to the ignition, which determines the serial number from the transmission. If the numbers match, the car starts. The majority of cars built in the last two decades use transponder keys.

They are also used in aircrafts. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft through an encoded signal, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). Some aircraft are equipped with transponders in modes C or S which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also support collision avoidance systems.

The metal parts of a standard Saab key are easy to duplicate, but the microchip that is connected to the immobilizer is difficult to copy. If you own one of these, it is essential to ensure its security.

Everyone who owns a Saab should have at least two keys that function for their car. If you lose the sole one the cost will be lots of money to replace it. You will need to buy an electronic module for your computer and a second key and program the car to convince it that you're not attempting to steal it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers offer an additional layer of protection against hotwiring. They stop the engine from being started unless the transponder in the key fob is in order. In addition the majority of vehicles with immobilizers also display a warning symbol in the instrument cluster, which indicates the key isn't in. If you lose your keyfob you'll have to visit a dealer to deactivate it and then purchase a new one.





These systems rely on encryption of information between the transponder system and the car. Recent studies have revealed that encryption sequences can be cracked by computers. They can also be bypassed by hackers who can understand the messages going back and back on the CAN bus.

These systems are much superior to the traditional immobilizers, which use a fixed code. The newer models feature a system of changing or rolling codes to make them more secure. Hackers can still crack these codes and use keys to start your car. To solve this problem, the DST80 has an extended code that makes it harder to figure out. Unfortunately researchers were able to get around this. This is why it's essential to always keep your key fob in your purse when you're not using it.
