Remotes

The newest Saab cars don't use traditional keys made of metal to provide security. Instead, they employ an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a special chip that is embedded in every key. This is why a particular kind of key is needed to unlock the car, and then insert it into the ignition. This is the reason that a saab 9-3 key fob programming owner should always carry a spare.

The traditional metal keys can be easily copied but the issue is that the electronic component of a key fob needs to be compatible with a particular vehicle in order for it to function. This matching is done in the computer modules of the car, referred to as CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE. If you lose your only working key and it costs the dealer a considerable amount to replace these modules and program the new key.

Transponders

A transponder is an electronic chip inside a key fob that sends out a unique coded signal. It's part of an immobilizer that stops thieves from using stolen keys to start your vehicle. The transponder signals are detected by a receiver close to the ignition, which interprets the serial number from the transmission. If the number is in line, the car will begin. The majority of cars built in the last two decades have transponder keys.

They are also utilized in airplanes. Air traffic control utilizes them to identify friendly aircraft through the use of a coded signal known as IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe). Certain aircraft are equipped with transponders in the mode C or S that transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have systems to avoid collisions.

The metal components on a standard Saab Key are easy to duplicate. However the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer may be difficult to duplicate. It is important 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 only one that you have, it will cost an enormous amount to replace it. You'll need to purchase an extra computer module as well as a new key and program the car to convince it you're not trying to take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers are an additional layer of protection against hotwiring. They are designed to stop the engine from running unless the transponder is on the correct key fob. The majority of vehicles with immobilizers display a warning indicator in the instrument cluster to indicate that the key isn't inside. If you lose your key fob, you'll have to visit an authorized dealer to get it deactivated and get a replacement.

These systems are built around encryption of information that is sent between the transponder and the car's system. Recent studies have revealed, however, that these encryption sequences can be cracked by computers. Hackers can break them by reading the messages transferred back and forth across the CAN bus.

These systems are more advanced than traditional immobilizers which use one fixed code. The newer models feature the capability of changing or rolling codes to make them more secure. The problem with these is that hackers still have the ability to find ways to crack the code and then use the key to start your car. To address this problem the DST80 was developed with a longer sequence to make it more difficult to determine. Unfortunately researchers were able to break this too. It's important that you always keep your keyfob in your pocket, even when not using it.
