The classic metal keys are easy to copy but the issue is that the electronic component of a key-fob must be matched with a specific vehicle in order for it to function.

Transponders A transponder, also known as an electronic chip, is a tiny electronic chip that is placed in the key-fob. It sends an unique coded message. It is part of the immobilizer system that stops thieves from using a stolen key to start your car. The transponder signals are received by a detector close to the ignition, which decodes the serial number of the transmission. If the numbers match the car's serial number, it starts. The majority of cars built in the past two decades use transponder keys. These are also used in aircrafts. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft by using an encoded signal called IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircraft are equipped with transponders operating in mode C or S which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have systems for collision avoidance. The metal parts of a typical Saab key are simple to duplicate, but the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer is hard to duplicate.

You'll need to pay a lot of money in the event that you lose your primary key. It will require a new, special computer module, as well as the cost of a new key and programming to convince the car you aren't trying to take it. Immobilizers Immobilizers offer an additional layer of protection against hotwiring. They're designed to prevent the engine from running unless the transponder is in the correct key fob. Most cars with immobilizers also display a warning symbol in the instrument cluster, indicating that the key isn't inside. If you lose your keyfob you will need to visit a dealer to disable it and obtain a replacement one. These systems are based on the encryption of information between the transponder system and the vehicle. However, recent studies have shown that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to crack. This means that they can easily be snuffed out by hackers who can read the messages that are sent back and back on the CAN bus. These systems are much higher-tech than the standard immobilizers that use a fixed code. Newer versions use a system that changes or rolls codes to increase the security of the system. The issue with these versions is that hackers are still able to find ways to crack the code and use keys to start your vehicle. In an effort to solve this problem the DST80 was designed with a more lengthy sequence to make it more difficult to deduce. saab key were also able to crack it. It's important that you always keep your keyfob with you even when you're not in use.
