Remotes

The newest Saab cars don't use traditional keys made from metal for security. Instead, they employ an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a special chip built into each key. This is why a certain type of key is required to unlock the car and put it into the ignition. It is for this reason that the Saab owner should always carry an extra.

The classic metal keys can be copied easily but the problem is that the electronic component of a key-fob has to be matched to a specific vehicle in order to function. This matching takes place in the car's computer modules, which are called CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics).

Transponders

A transponder is an electronic device inside a key fob that transmits a unique, coded signal. It's part of the immobilizer, which prevents thieves from using a stolen car key to open the door. The transponder signals are received by a detector close to the ignition, which decodes the serial number from the transmission. If the serial number matches, the car starts. Transponder keys are found in the majority of cars built in the last two decades.

They are also utilized on airplanes. Air traffic control makes use of these to identify friendly aircraft with an encoded signal known as IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders that transmit the identifying codes and altitude to ATC. They also include systems to avoid collisions.

The metal parts of a standard Saab key are simple to duplicate, but the microchip that connects to the immobilizer is hard to copy. If you own one of these, it is very important to keep it safe.

Everyone with a Saab must have at a minimum two keys that work for the car. You'll need to pay a substantial amount of money in the event that you lose your primary key. 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 take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers are another security measure to prevent thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They prevent the engine from starting unless the transponder in the key fob is in order. In addition, most cars with immobilizers also display an alert symbol in the instrument cluster which indicates the key isn't inside. If you lose your key fob, you'll need to take it to an authorized dealer to get it deactivated and get an alternative.

These systems are based on the encryption of data between the transponder system and the car. Recent research has revealed that encryption sequences can be broken by computers. Consequently, they can easily be snuffed out by hackers who can understand the messages going back and forth on the CAN bus.

These systems are far more sophisticated than conventional immobilizers, which use one fixed code. Modern versions have a system which rolls or changes codes to increase the security of the system. Hackers are still able to hack these codes and use keys to begin your vehicle. In an effort to solve this problem, the DST80 was designed with a longer sequence to make it harder to guess. Researchers were also able to crack it. This is why it's essential to always keep your key fob in your purse when you're not using it.
