Remotes

Modern saab 9-3 key replacement vehicles don't use keys made of metal to secure their cars. Instead, they use an immobilizer system that is built on recognition and a unique chip that is embedded in every key. This is the reason why the car only starts 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 the reason that a Saab owner should always carry an extra.

The traditional metal keys are easy to copy however the problem is that the electronic part of a key-fob has to be matched with a specific car in order for the key to work.

A transponder, also known as a electronic chip, is a small electronic chip that is placed inside the key fob. It transmits a unique coded message. It is a part of the immobilizer system to prevent thieves from using stolen keys to start your car. Transponder signals are picked up by a receiver near the ignition that determines the serial number from the transmission. If the number matches, the car starts. Most cars built in the last two decades utilize transponder keys.

They are also used in airplanes. Air traffic control uses them to identify friendly aircraft with the use of a coded signal called IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). Some airplanes are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders which transmit identifying codes as well as altitude information to ATC. They also support collision avoidance systems.

The metal components of a typical saab 93 key fob key are simple to duplicate, but the microchip which communicates with the immobilizer is hard to copy. If you have one of these, it is very important to keep it safe.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers add another layer of protection against hotwiring. They prevent the engine from starting unless the transponder in the key fob is valid.

These systems are much superior to the traditional immobilizers which use an unchanging code. Modern versions have a system that alters or rolls codes to ensure that the systems are secure. The problem with these codes is that hackers can still find ways to hack the code and then use the key to start your car. To solve this problem, the DST80 has an extended code that makes it harder to figure out. Sadly researchers were able to solve this problem as well.
