Remotes Modern Saab vehicles do not use keys made of metal to lock their vehicles. Instead, they utilize an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a specific chip inside every key. This is why a specific type of key is needed to unlock the car and put it into the ignition. This is among the primary reasons for a responsible Saab owner to always have a spare key available. The classic metal keys are simple to duplicate, but the real problem is that the electronic portion of a key-fob must be matched to a particular car to allow the key to function.

Transponders A transponder, also known as an electronic chip, is a small electronic chip that is embedded in the key-fob. It transmits an individual coded message. It is a part of the immobilizer that prevents thieves from using stolen car key to start the vehicle. The transponder signals that the key emits are picked up by the receiver near the ignition. The receiver decodes serial numbers of the transmission. If the serial number matches, the car will begin. Most cars manufactured in the last two decades utilize transponder keys. They are also used on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft by an encoded signal, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). Some airplanes are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders which transmit identifying codes and altitude information to ATC. They also provide systems to avoid collisions. The metal parts of a typical Saab key are easy to duplicate, however the microchip which communicates with the immobilizer is hard to duplicate. It is essential to secure these keys if you own one.

Immobilizers Immobilizers provide an additional layer of protection against hotwiring. They are designed to stop the engine from starting until the transponder is on the proper key fob. In addition to that the majority of vehicles with immobilizers will also have a warning symbol on the instrument cluster that shows the key isn't in. If you lose your keyfob you'll need to go to an auto dealer to remove it and purchase a new one. These systems are built on encryption of the data that flows between the transponder as well as the car's system. However, recent research has revealed that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to break. This means that they can easily be bypassed by hackers who can detect the messages that travel back and back on the CAN bus. These systems are more sophisticated than traditional immobilizers which use one fixed code. Newer versions use a system that changes or rolls codes to ensure that the systems are secure. Hackers can still crack these codes and use keys to start your car. To overcome this issue, the DST80 has an extended code that makes it more difficult to guess. Researchers were also able break it. It's therefore important to keep your key fob in your pocket even when you're not using it.
