Remotes

The modern Saab cars don't use traditional keys made of metal for security. Instead, they use an immobilizer system built on recognition and a special chip embedded in each key. This is why the car will only start when a particular type of key (called"key-fob") "key-fob") is used to unlock it, and then insert it in the ignition. It is for this reason that a saab key fob repair owner should always carry a spare.

The classic metal keys are simple to duplicate however the problem is that the electronic component of a key-fob has to be matched to a particular car to allow the key to function.

Transponders

A transponder, or electronic chip, is a tiny electronic chip that is incorporated in the key-fob. It transmits an individual coded message. It is a part of the immobilizer system that stops thieves from using a stolen key to start your car. The transponder signals are picked up by a receiver near the ignition, which interprets the serial number from the transmission. If the numbers match the car's serial number, it starts. Transponder keys are found in all cars produced in the past two decades.

They are also utilized on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft with an encoded signal, IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped mode C or mode S transponders that transmit identifying codes as well as altitude to ATC. They also provide collision avoidance systems.

The metal parts of a typical Saab key are easy to duplicate, but the microchip that connects to the immobilizer is difficult to duplicate. It is important to keep these safe in the event that you own one.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers are a further security measure to prevent thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They are designed to stop the engine from running unless the transponder is in the proper key fob. The majority of vehicles with immobilizers display a warning icon in the instrument cluster to indicate that the key isn't in the. If you lose your keyfob you'll need to go to an auto dealer to remove it and get a new one.

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

These systems are much superior to the traditional immobilizers, which use an unchanging code. The latest models use a technology that alters or rolls codes to ensure that the systems are secure. The issue with these versions is that hackers still have the ability to discover ways to break the code and use the key to start your car. To fix this issue the DST80 has an extended code that makes it more difficult to determine. Unfortunately researchers were able to crack this as well. It is essential to keep your keyfob with you, even when not using it.
