Saab Car Key replacement saab 9-3 key

Most drivers will eventually have to replace their Saab keys. Like other vehicles, Saabs need special keys which have a chip to 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 cash by buying it yourself instead of paying the dealer.

Keys

The loss of your car keys or lost is extremely stressful and inconvenient especially if you have one working key. Fortunately, this issue can be easily solved by a professional locksmith. AutoLocks Ltd can repair your SAAB keys quickly and effectively. We offer our services for 75 per cent less than the dealer.

The 03-11 SAAB owners have a distinct issue with their car keys. These key fobs tend to break easily and aren't very durable. A lot of people don't have an extra one, which could be a safety risk in an emergency.

If you're looking to add an additional key for your car, it will cost around $400 from the dealer. You'll need a brand new key, transponder, and to have the current key programmed. This process is done with a special tool called a Tech-2 which dealers own. It's an easy process however you'll need 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 its case. This can be done by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot located in the middle of the key fob. After a bit of work, the key will split open.

Remotes

The modern Saab cars do not use traditional keys made of metal for security. Instead, they employ an immobilizer system that is built on recognition and a unique chip embedded in each key. This is why the car can only start when a certain type of key (called a "key-fob") is used to unlock it and insert it in the ignition. It is for this reason that a Saab owner should always carry a spare.

The classic metal keys can be copied easily, but the real issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob must be connected to a specific vehicle in order for it to work. This is done through the computer modules of the car, referred to as CIM (Column Integration Modul) or TWICE. The dealer will charge you much to replace the modules and then program a brand new one in case you lose only one key.

A local locksmith can reprogram the EEPROM of your car's computer, and give you a new key, thereby saving you 50% or more than what dealers charge! If you lose your sole key, it's vital that you contact us immediately to ensure we are able to avoid the costly fees that a dealer would ask for.

Transponders

A transponder is a chip inside a key-fob which sends out a unique coded signal. It is a 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 close to the ignition. This receiver decodes the serial numbers of the transmission. If the numbers match the car's number, it will start. Transponder keys can be found in most cars manufactured in the past two decades.

They are also used on airplanes. Air traffic control utilizes these to identify friendly aircraft by using an encoded signal known as IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircraft have transponders in the mode C or S which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have collision avoidance systems.

The metal components of a standard Saab key are easy to duplicate, but the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer is difficult to duplicate. If you own one of these, it is vital to ensure its security.

Everyone with a Saab must have at minimum two keys that function for the car. If you lose just one, it will cost you lots of money to replace it. You'll need a brand new, special computer module plus the costs of a second key as well as programming to convince the car you aren't trying to take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers provide another layer of security to stop thieves from hotwiring your car. They're designed to prevent the engine from running unless the transponder is on the correct key fob. The majority of vehicles with immobilizers display a warning symbol in the instrument cluster to signal that the key isn't inside. If you have lost your key fob, you'll need to take it to an authorized dealer to get it deactivated and receive the replacement.

These systems rely on the encryption of data between the transponder system and the car. However, recent studies have discovered that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to break. They can also be bypassed by hackers who are able to read the messages that are sent back and back and forth on the CAN bus.

These systems are far superior to the traditional immobilizers, which use a fixed code. Newer versions use a system that alters or rolls codes to increase the security of the system. The problem with these codes is that hackers are still able to find ways to break the code and use the key to start your car. To overcome this issue, the DST80 has a longer code to make it more difficult to determine. Researchers also managed to solve it. It is essential to keep your keyfob in your pocket even when you're not in use.
