How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key The Saab 9-3 is an excellent car that offers a lot of driver appeal. It offers good visibility and an impressive performance engine. It also has a high safety rating. However, it is crucial to make sure that you have two keys working for your car. If G28 lose just one key, it could be very expensive to add an additional one. How to replace the ignition Key in a Saab9-3 You must replace your car keys in case it isn't turning. This guide will walk you through how to do it on the Saab 9-3. You will need to replace the key, get an additional reprogrammable cell and then purchase a new casing for your key-fob. Modern Saab models make use of a transponder instead of a key made of metal to unlock the car and then start it. The reprogrammable batteries in the key-fob get worn out, and eventually aren't able to hold any charge. This is particularly the case if you use the same key for the same lock. A professional locksmith can replace the battery quickly. You can also do it yourself if you have the right tools and a bit of patience. The first step involves separating the key-fob. This is accomplished by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the slot located in middle of the case. The plastic is thin and can easily be damaged. Once the case is open and the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining the lower portion of the previous key with the transponder and banana on the new key. This will ensure the new key is properly paired to your CIM and can make a big difference when replacing the sole key on your Saab 9-3. How to replace the ignition Key in a Saab 900 If you don't have two keys, you will need to remove the dashboard and steering wheel to gain access to the ignition. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable. After the battery has been disconnected, it is possible to remove the trim and dashboard pieces around the steering wheel. Once the dash is removed, you can put a screwdriver through the opening in the back of the ignition switch and take it out. The ignition cylinder is equipped with a key lock that could prevent the vehicle from starting if you don't have the key in it. If the ignition switch on your 900 isn't working properly, check to see if the key is in the lock or is stuck inside the barrel. It is also important to rotate your keys and keep them clean to prevent breaking. Saab cars differ from other cars in the sense that they don't utilize traditional metal keys. The car instead recognizes the electronic signals coming from the key fob using an specialized microchip inside. If you lose just one key fob that is working, your dealer will charge you the cost of replacing your computer module (also known as the CIM). We can reprogram the EEPROM on your existing computer and make it accept new keys without having to replace it. You'll save more than 50% on the dealer's cost! This is the SAAB Key PROGRAM.

How to Replace the Ignition Key in the Saab9-5 The metal component of a classic Saab key is easy to duplicate, and it's also not much of an impediment against theft of vehicles. The real protection comes from the electronic part in the key-fob, which has a chip inside that recognizes your car when it's inserted into your ignition switch. Saab has relied on the technology of this anti-theft device for more than 10 years. It's not quite as effective as a door lock but it does make stealing your car much more difficult. Every Saab owner must keep a spare Saab key in their car. Most new Saabs come with two keys at the factory, but you can purchase additional keys at an agent using a handheld computer referred to as a Tech-2. The cost can be under $400 for the transmitter+transponder (different than the metal key blade/shell that opens the doors and turns the ignition cylinder). The only exception to this is NG 9-3 vehicles, which come with modern, more advanced features that require a separate key-fob, and utilize a different process. The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module on those cars if the keys are lost. They'll charge you a high price for the process. We can reprogram your computer's EEPROM to accept new keys without replacing expensive modules.
