This can be done by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot in the middle of the key fob. After a little work, you will be able of splitting the key.

Remotes

Modern Saab vehicles don't use keys made of metal to lock their cars. Instead, they use an immobilizer that is based on the recognition and a unique chip inside each key. This is the reason why the car starts when a specific type of key (called a "key-fob") is used to unlock it, and then insert it into the ignition. This is one of the main reasons for a wise Saab owner to always have a spare key on hand.

The classic keys made of metal are easy to duplicate however the problem is that the electronic portion of a key fob needs to be matched to a specific car in order for the key to function. This process is carried out within the car's computer modules and are referred to as CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics). The dealer will charge a lot to replace the modules and to program a new one in case you lose only one key.

Transponders

A transponder is a chip inside a key-fob which sends out a unique coded signal. It is a part of the immobilizer system that stops thieves from using a stolen key to start your vehicle. The transponder signal from the key are picked up by the receiver close to the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers of the transmission. If the number is in line, the car will start. Most cars manufactured in the last two decades utilize transponder keys.

They are also utilized in aircrafts. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft through an encoded signal, IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped mode C or mode S transponders that transmit identifying codes as well as altitude information to ATC. They also provide collision avoidance systems.

The metal components of a typical Saab key are simple to duplicate, however the microchip that communicates with the immobilizer is difficult to duplicate. If you own one of these, it's very important to protect it.

Every person who owns a Saab must have at minimum two keys that are functional for their car. If you lose only one and you lose it, it will cost an enormous amount to replace it. You will need to buy a computer module that is specifically designed for this, a second key, and program the vehicle to convince it that you're not attempting to take it.

Immobilizers

Immobilizers are a further security measure to prevent thieves from hotwiring your car. They are designed to stop the engine from running unless the transponder is on the correct key fob. Additionally the majority of vehicles that have immobilizers are equipped with a warning symbol on the instrument cluster, which indicates the key isn't inside. If you lose your keyfob, you'll need to go to an authorized dealer to deactivate it and get a new one.

These systems are founded on encryption of data that is transmitted between the transponder as well as the car's system. Recent studies have shown that encryption sequences can be cracked by computers. Hackers are able to bypass them by analyzing the messages that are transmitted back and forth over the CAN bus.

They are more advanced than conventional immobilizers which use an unchanging code. The latest models come with the ability to change or rolling codes to make them more secure. Hackers are still able to crack these codes and use keys to start your car. To address this issue, the DST80 has a longer code to make it more difficult to determine. Researchers also managed to break it. As such, it's important to always keep your key fob in your pocket even when you're not using it.
