The dealer uses the Tech-2 tool to carry out this process. It is a simple process however you'll need mechanical skills to install the key. It is recommended to leave this to professionals. The first step is to take the emergency key from the case. This can be done by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the slot that is located in the middle of the key fob. After a short amount of work the key will split open. Remotes The newest Saab cars don't use traditional metal keys for their security. Instead, they employ an immobilizer system that is built around recognition and a unique chip embedded into each key. That is why the car only starts when a particular type of key (called a “key-fob”) is used to unlock it and insert it in the ignition. This is one of the primary reasons for a wise Saab owner to always have a spare key on hand. The classic metal keys can be copied easily but the issue is that the electronic part of a key fob needs to be matched with a specific vehicle in order to function. This is accomplished through the computer modules of the car, known as CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE.

Transponders A transponder can be described as an electronic chip in a key fob which emits a unique signal. It's part of the immobilizer, which prevents thieves from using a stolen car key to start the car. The transponder signals from the keys are picked up by the receiver near the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers that are generated by the transmission. If the number is in line the car's serial number, it starts. Transponder keys can be found for the majority of automobiles manufactured in the last two decades. They are also used in aircrafts. Air traffic control utilizes them to identify friendly aircraft through the use of a coded signal called IFF (Identification Friends or Foe). Certain aircraft are equipped transponders in mode C or S that transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have systems to avoid collisions. The metal components of a standard Saab key are simple to duplicate, however the microchip that connects to the immobilizer is difficult to copy. It is crucial to protect these keys in the event that you own one. Every Saab owner should have two working keys. If you lose just one that you have, it will cost a lot to replace it. You'll need a new computer module as well as the cost of a second key and programming to convince the car you aren't trying to steal it. Immobilizers Immobilizers are an additional layer of protection against hotwiring. They are designed to stop the engine from starting until the transponder is in the correct key fob. The majority of cars equipped with immobilizers display a warning indicator in the instrument cluster to signal that the key isn't in the. If you lose your keyfob you'll need to go to a dealer to deactivate it and purchase a new one. These systems are based on the encryption of data between the transponder systems and the car. Recent research has revealed that these encryption sequences can be accessed by computers. Hackers could bypass them by analyzing the messages that are transferred back and forth across the CAN bus. These systems are much more advanced than conventional immobilizers, which use an unchanging code. Modern versions have a system that alters or rolls codes to increase the security of the system. Hackers can still hack these codes and use keys to open your vehicle. To solve this problem, the DST80 has a longer code to make it harder to figure out. Sadly researchers were able crack this as well. It is essential to keep your keyfob in your pocket even when you're not using it.
