If you're planning to purchase an extra key the cost will be around $400 at the dealer. You'll need a new key, a transponder and to have the existing key programmed. The dealer will use a Tech-2 tool to perform this process. It's an easy process, but you'll need some mechanical skills to install the key. This is why it's best to leave the task 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 located in the middle of the key fob.

Remotes

The modern Saab automobiles do not use traditional metal keys for their security. Rather they have an immobilizer system based upon the recognition of a unique chip built into each key. That is why the car will only start when a certain type of key (called"key-fob" or "key-fob") is used to unlock it, and then insert 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 are easily copied, but the real issue is that the electronic part of a key fob needs to be matched to a specific vehicle in order for it to work. This is accomplished through the computer modules of the car, which are called CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE. If you lose your sole functioning key and it costs the dealer a lot of money to replace these modules as well as to program the new key.

Transponders

A transponder or electronic chip, is an electronic chip that is embedded in the key-fob. It sends an individual coded message. It's part of the immobilizer to prevent thieves using a stolen car key to open the door. The transponder signals from the key are picked up by the receiver that is located near the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers of the transmission. If the number matches the vehicle's registration number, it's a good sign that the car is ready to. Transponder keys are found in all cars produced in the past two decades.

They are also used on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft using an encoded signal called IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircraft are equipped transponders in modes C or S which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also offer collision avoidance systems.

The metal components of a standard saab 93 key fob key are simple to duplicate, however the microchip that is connected to the immobilizer is difficult to duplicate. If you have one of these, it's essential to protect it.

Everyone with a saab 9-3 replacement key must have at a minimum two keys that work for the car. If you lose just one and you lose it, it will cost a lot to replace it. You'll need a new, special computer module as well as the cost of a second key as well as programming to convince the car that you aren't trying to take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers provide another layer of security to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They're designed to prevent the engine from running unless the transponder is in the correct key fob. The majority of cars equipped with immobilizers display a warning symbol in the instrument cluster to indicate that the key is not inside. If you lose your keyfob, you will need to visit an auto dealer to remove it and then purchase a new one.

These systems are built around encryption of information that is sent between the transponder and the car's systems. However, recent research has shown that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to hack. This means that they can easily be snuffed out by hackers who can detect the messages that travel back and forward on the CAN bus.

These systems are far more sophisticated than conventional immobilizers, which use one fixed code. The latest models use a technology that rolls or changes codes to increase the security of the system. The issue with these is that hackers are still able to discover ways to break the code, and then use a key to start your car. To solve this problem the DST80 was designed with a longer sequence that would make it more difficult to deduce. Unfortunately, researchers were able to get around this. As such, it's important to keep your key fob in your pocket when you're not using it.
