Saab Car Key Replacement Most drivers will eventually need to replace their Saab keys. Saabs require special keys with chips that can identify them. If you lose one of these and your car doesn't start, it won't unless you have the other. But you can save lots of money by getting it yourself instead of paying a dealer. Keys Having your car keys stolen or lost could be extremely unpleasant and stressful, especially if you only have one key working. Thankfully, this problem is easily solved with the help of a professional locksmith. If you're in need of an SAAB key replacement, you can count on AutoLocks LTD to complete the task quickly and efficiently. We offer our services for 75 percent less than dealers. The 03-11 SAAB owners have a unique problem with their car keys. These keys aren't very durable and tend to break quickly. Many people don't even own a spare key, which poses a major safety risk in the situation of an emergency or accident. You'll have to pay about $400 to the dealer to purchase an additional key. You'll have to purchase the new key and transponder, plus having the old one programmed to the car. The dealer will use a Tech-2 tool to complete this process. It's a straightforward process however, you'll need mechanical skills to install the key. It's best to leave this to professionals. The first step is removing the emergency key from its case. This can be done by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot in the middle of the key fob. After a few minutes of work the key should split open. Remotes Modern Saab automobiles do not have keys made of steel to secure their cars. Instead, they utilize an immobilizer that works on the recognition of a specific chip inside every key. That is why the car starts when a certain type of key (called”key-fob” or “key-fob”) is used to unlock it and insert it into the ignition. This is the reason that a Saab owner should always carry a spare. The classic metal keys are easy to duplicate however the issue is that the electronic component of a key-fob has to be matched to a specific car in order for the key to work. This is done in the car's computer components, which are called CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics). The dealer will charge an amount to replace the modules and program a new one in case you lose only one key. A locksmith near you can change the EEPROM of the car's computer to give you a new key, thereby saving you up to 50 percent or more than dealerships charge! G28 Car Keys recommend that you contact us as soon as possible should you lose your key. This will allow you to save money by not having to pay a dealership. Transponders A transponder or electronic chip, is a small electronic chip that is incorporated in the key-fob. It transmits an individual coded message. It's part of an immobilizer system that stops thieves from using a stolen key to start your vehicle. The transponder signals from the keys are picked up by the receiver close to the ignition. The receiver decodes serial numbers that are generated by the transmission. If the number is in line the car's serial number, it starts. Most cars manufactured in the last two decades use transponder keys. They are also utilized on airplanes. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft by a coded signal, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). Certain aircraft are equipped transponders in modes C or S that transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also include systems for collision avoidance. The metal components on a standard Saab Key are simple to duplicate. However the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer may be difficult to duplicate. If you have one of these, it's very important to keep it safe. Anyone who owns a Saab should have at least two keys that are functional for the car. You will have to pay a considerable amount of money if you lose your only key. You'll need an extra computer module and a second key and program the vehicle to convince it that you are not trying to take it. Immobilizers Immobilizers are a further layer of security to stop thieves from hotwiring your car. They stop the engine from being started unless the transponder in the key fob matches. Additionally the majority of cars equipped with immobilizers will also have an alert symbol in the instrument cluster that shows the key isn't inside. If you lose your keyfob, you'll have to visit a dealer to disable it and get a new one. These systems are based on encryption of the data that flows between the transponder as well as the car's system. Recent studies have revealed that these encryption sequences can be broken by computers. Consequently, they can easily be manipulated by hackers who can read the messages that are sent back and forward on the CAN bus. They are more advanced than conventional immobilizers, which rely on an unchanging code. The latest models have an option of changing or rolling codes to make them more secure. The problem with these codes is that hackers can still find ways to crack the code and then use a key to start your vehicle. To fix this issue the DST80 has a longer code to make it more difficult to determine. Researchers also managed to get it to work. As such, it's important to always keep your key fob with you when you're not using it.
