Remotes Modern Saab vehicles don't use keys made of metal to secure their cars. Instead, they use an immobilizer system that is based on the recognition of a particular chip inside every key. This is why a certain kind of key is required to unlock the car and put it into the ignition. It is for this reason that an Saab owner should always carry a spare. The traditional metal keys are simple to copy, but the real problem is that the electronic portion of a key-fob has to be connected to a specific car to allow the key to function. This is done within the car's computer modules, which are called CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics).

Transponders A transponder can be described as an electronic chip in a key fob which emits a unique signal. It's part of an immobilizer that stops thieves from using stolen keys to start your car. Transponder signals are detected by a receiver near the ignition that interprets the serial number from the transmission. If the number matches the car will start. The majority of cars built during the past two decades use transponder keys. These are also used in airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft through the use of a coded signal known as IFF (Identification Friends or Foe). Certain aircraft have transponders in mode C or S which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have systems to avoid collisions. The metal components of a standard Saab key are easy to duplicate, however the microchip that connects to the immobilizer is difficult to copy. It is essential to ensure the security of these keys in the event that you own one. Every Saab owner must have two keys working. You will have to pay a considerable amount of money when you lose your sole key. You'll have to purchase an electronic module for your computer, a second key, and program the vehicle 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 starting until the transponder is on the correct key fob. Most cars with immobilizers also display a warning icon in the instrument cluster to signal that the key isn't inside. If you lose your keyfob, you'll need to visit an auto dealer to remove it and obtain a replacement one. These systems are founded on encryption of data that is transmitted between the transponder and the car's systems. Recent studies have revealed, however, that these encryption sequences can be cracked by computers. This means that they can easily be bypassed by hackers who are able to detect the messages that travel back and back and forth on the CAN bus. These systems are more advanced than conventional immobilizers that use an unchanging code. Modern models have a system which rolls or changes codes to ensure that the systems are secure. G28 Car Keys with these codes is that hackers can still find ways to crack the code and use a key to start your car. To solve this problem, the DST80 has a longer code to make it more difficult to guess. Researchers were also able break it.
