How to Replace a Saab 93 Key Fob All cars should have a remote or transmitter that can lock or unlock your vehicle. The batteries in these devices could be faulty. If you are thinking of buying a Saab 93 and don't have two keys, you can get one for about $400.

It is a good idea, as soon as you can, to buy a spare one. It will cost less than replacing the entire vehicle should you lose it. It is also crucial to rotate your keys regularly so one does not get all the wear and tear and also to keep them clean. If you have lost your only key, you'll need to replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) module along with a new key and a unique program to convince the car you're not attempting to steal it. These modules can cost upwards of $400 to replace and are only available by mail order. Most locksmiths and dealers are unable to complete the task within the same day. The good news is, the majority of modern Saab vehicles can have a second key added to the system. This is possible without having to replace the original computer. The dealer will need to use a special handheld computer known as a Tech-2 to insert the second key and program it into the vehicle. There are garages that may also be able to do this but the procedure is more complex. They must reprogram the EEPROM in your car's computer to accept the new key. Key Fobs Replacement Saab owners who have lost their last key or had it stolen require the replacement as soon as they can. The steps to get an additional working Saab 9-3 fob requires the services department at the dealer and could cost hundreds of dollars, which includes the purchase of a new key as well as a TWICE module, which is central electronic theft warning. The process is less expensive in the event that you have an extra. The new key must be connected to the original TWICE Module. G28 Car Keys used key will not work. However a genuine OEM replacement can be purchased from the dealer for a fraction of what it will cost. It is easy to remove the case from a new SAAB Key Fob. You can use a flathead screwdriver to break open the case, but be careful not to damage the electronics inside. After you have removed the electronics and battery then you can replace the case with the shell of the original key fob. Place the two pieces in a line and gently press them in so that they click in the right place. After everything is in place then you can resynchronize your new fob.

Keys to Replace Ignition If your car's ignition key doesn't engage in the ignition, or it doesn't turn on when you press the starter button, first make sure the transmission is in Park. This will stop the car from rolling in the event that the lock in your transmission fails or when your manual transmission goes into gear. In most cases, it's the electronics in the key fob which determines how the car recognizes the key once it's put into the ignition. The key made of metal is easy to duplicate, however it is the electronic part of the key fob that makes the car recognize keys. Making an additional key for a Saab car requires a specific transmitter along with a transponder with it and some kind of special programming for the car to convince the computer it is not trying to steal the vehicle. Locksmiths are not able perform this. It's only possible through a dealer or a handheld computer called Tech2. If you already have a working key fob, adding another should not cost more than $200. The other cost is the actual manufacturing of the metal key, if you need it. A majority of dealers can make this, however it may take several weeks to receive the part and the car programmed. Replacement Remotes The Saab 9-3 cabin has been designed with the driver in mind. It includes logical layouts aswell in a tactile experience. The dashboard of the Saab 9-3 is designed to arc around the driver. It also features a turbo vacuum gauge that provides a unique touch. Leather-wrapped steering wheels feature audio, cruise control, and phone controls. A single cupholder is placed on the console that is between the front and back seats, while knobs for dual-zone climate control as well as the Bose audio system are set up in a way that is logical. The touch-screen display is distracting while driving. In terms of power, the 9-3 is a reliable performer. The base low pressure turbo model takes approximately 8 seconds to reach a speed of 60 mph, while the more powerful Viggen can do it in only 6.9 second. The key to the Turbo X's success is its excellent handling. Despite its nose-heavy 60/40 front-to-rear weight distribution the Turbo X feels agile and composed on two-lane highways. Fuel economy is the main disadvantage to this car's remarkable performance. It's rated at 27 mpg city and 35 mpg on the highway with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The Turbo X special edition with more power will be available for 2008 only. The model comes with a unique rear seat that folds flat onto the floor, which adds to the cargo capacity. It also features a unique rear spoiler, and an aggressive bumper.
