The 03-11 SAAB owners have a unique issue with their car keys. Key fobs for these models are prone to breaking easily and aren't robust. Many people don't even own a spare key, which poses an extremely risky safety issue in the case of an emergency or an accident.

If you're looking to buy an additional key it will cost around $400 at the dealer. You'll have to purchase a new key and a transponder, and get the one you already have programmed to the car. The dealer will use a Tech-2 tool to perform this procedure. It's an easy process, but you'll need some mechanical skills to add the key. This is the reason it's better to leave the task to a professional. The first step is to take the emergency key from its case. Insert a flathead in the slot located in the middle of your key fob. After a few minutes of work, you will be able to split the key.

Remotes

Modern Saab vehicles do not use keys made of metal to secure their vehicles. Instead, they employ an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a special chip inside each key. This is the reason why the car starts when a certain type of key (called"key-fob" or "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 available.

The classic metal keys can be copied easily, but the real issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob must be matched to a specific vehicle in order to function. This matching takes place in the computer modules of the car, known as CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE. The dealer will charge for replacing the modules and to program a new one in case you lose your only key.

Transponders

A transponder, or electronic chip, is a small electronic chip that is embedded in the key-fob. It sends an unicoded message. It is part of the immobilizer system that prevents thieves from using stolen keys to start your car. The transponder signals from the keys are detected by the receiver near the ignition. The receiver decodes serial numbers from the transmission. If the number matches the car will start. Transponder keys are utilized for the majority of automobiles manufactured in the last two decades.

They are also used on aircrafts. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft using an encoded signal, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped mode C or mode S transponders which transmit identifying codes and altitude to ATC. They also have collision avoidance systems.

The metal parts of a standard Saab key are simple to duplicate, however the microchip which communicates with the immobilizer is hard to copy. It is essential to secure these keys in the event that you own one.

Every Saab owner should have two working keys. If you lose the only one the cost will be an enormous amount to replace it. You'll need a new, specialized computer module plus the costs of a new key and programming to convince the car that you aren't trying to take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers are another safeguard to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They stop the engine from starting without ensuring that the transponder on the key fob is valid. The majority of cars equipped with immobilizers display a warning symbol in the instrument cluster to signal that the key isn't in the. If you lose your key fob, you'll need to take it to an authorized dealer to have it removed from the system and obtain an alternative.

These systems rely on the encryption of data between the transponder system and the vehicle. However, recent research has shown that these encryption sequences are too easy for Saab keys computers to crack. Hackers could bypass them by analyzing the messages transferred back and forth across the CAN bus.

These systems are more sophisticated than traditional immobilizers which use one fixed code. Newer versions use a system that alters or rolls codes to ensure that the systems are secure. The issue with these is that hackers are still able to find ways to crack the code and then use a key to start your vehicle. To address this issue the DST80 was designed with a longer sequence in order to make it more difficult to guess. Researchers were also able to break it. It's therefore important to always keep your key fob in your purse when you're not using it.
