The 03-11 SAAB owners face a unique problem with their car keys. These keys aren't robust and tend to break down quite easily. A lot of people don't even have an extra key, which poses a major safety risk in the event of an emergency or accident.
If you're looking to add an additional key, it will cost you about $400 at the dealer. You'll need a new key, transponder, and to have the current key programmed. The dealer will use a Tech-2 tool to carry out this procedure. It's an easy process, but you'll need some mechanical skills to add the key. This is why it's best to leave the task to professionals. The first step is taking the emergency key from its case. This can be accomplished by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot in the middle of the key fob. After a few minutes of work you will be able to split the key.
Remotes
The new Saab cars don't use traditional keys made from metal for security. Instead, they use an immobilizer system that is based on the recognition of a particular chip that is embedded in every key. This is why a particular type of key is required to unlock the car and put it into the ignition. This is one of the primary reasons for a wise
Saab owner to always keep a spare key handy.
The traditional metal keys can be copied easily, but the real issue is that the electronic component of a key-fob needs to be connected 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. If you lose your sole working key and you lose it, it will cost the dealer a substantial amount to replace these modules and program the new key.
A locksmith near you can change the EEPROM in your car's computer and make you a new key, which can save you 50 percent or more than a dealership will charge! We suggest that you contact us as soon as you can in the event that you lose your key. This will help you avoid the high cost of the dealership.
Transponders
A transponder, or electronic chip, is a tiny electronic chip that is embedded in the key-fob. It transmits a unique coded message. It's a component of the immobilizer to prevent thieves from using a stolen vehicle key to open the door. The transponder signals are detected by a receiver near the ignition, which decodes the serial number from the transmission. If the serial number matches, the car starts. Most cars built in the last two decades use transponder keys.
They are also used on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft through a coded signal, IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe). Certain aircrafts have mode C or mode S transponders which transmit the identifying codes and altitude to ATC. They also offer collision avoidance systems.
The metal parts of a typical
saab key fob key are easy to duplicate, however the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer is difficult to duplicate. It is crucial to protect these keys when you own one.
Every Saab owner must have two keys working. You'll be required to pay a substantial amount of money if you lose your only key. You'll need an electronic module for your computer or a spare key and program the car to convince it you're not attempting to take it.
Immobilizers
Immobilizers add another layer of protection to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They're designed to prevent the engine from running unless the transponder is located on the correct key fob. In addition many cars that have immobilizers are equipped with a warning symbol on the instrument cluster that shows the key isn't in. If you have lost your key fob, you'll have to visit an authorized dealer to get it removed from the system and obtain the

These systems are based on encryption of the data that goes between the transponder and car's system. Recent studies have shown that encryption sequences are able to be cracked by computers. Hackers could bypass them by reading the messages that are transmitted back and forth over the CAN bus.
These systems are far more advanced than conventional immobilizers which use an unchanging code. Newer versions use a system that rolls or changes codes to increase the security of the system. The issue with these is that hackers can still find ways to break the code, and then use the key to start your car. In an effort to solve this problem the DST80 was designed with a longer sequence in order to make it more difficult to figure out. Unfortunately, researchers were able to solve this problem as well. It is essential to keep your keyfob in your pocket even when you're not in use.
