How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key The Saab 9-3 has an impressive variety of appeal to drivers. It has excellent visibility and an efficient engine. It has a high safety rating. It is essential to have two keys that work for your vehicle. It could be costly to replace a key if you lose it. How to Replace the Ignition Key in a Saab9-3 You'll need to replace the car key when it doesn't turn. This guide will guide you through the steps to do it on the Saab 9-3. You'll need a replacement key with a reprogrammable battery and a new key-fob cover. The most modern Saab models use a transponder instead of a metal key to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start. The reprogrammable batteries inside the key-fob will eventually wear out, and they will not be able to hold charge. This is especially when you keep using the same key in the same lock. The good thing is that the battery can be replaced easily by an experienced locksmith. You can also do it yourself if you have the appropriate tools and a bit of patience. The first step is taking the key-fob out. Insert flatheads into the slot that is in the middle of your case. The plastic is very thin and it is susceptible to being damaged. After the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining the lower part of the old key with a transponder and banana. This will ensure that the new key is properly mated to your CIM and can be a major difference when replacing the sole key of your Saab 9-3. How do I replace the ignition Key on a Saab 900 If you do not have two keys, you will need to remove the steering wheel and dashboard in order to access the ignition. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. Once the battery is disconnected, you can take off the dashboard and trim pieces around the steering wheel. Once the dash has been removed, you can place a screwdriver in the opening behind the ignition switch. The ignition cylinder has an ignition lock that can prevent the car from starting if a key isn't in it. If your 900's ignition switch isn't working, look at the key to see whether it's in the lock or is stuck in the barrel of the ignition. You should also rotate your keys and keep them clean to prevent being bent. Saab cars differ from other vehicles in that they don't have traditional metal keys. Instead, the car can recognize the key fob's electric signals through a special chip in it. If you have lost your only working key fob the dealer will charge you top dollar for replacing your computer module (known as the CIM). We can reprogram the EEPROM on your existing computer and make it accept new keys without having to replace it. This will save you over 50% of the cost the dealer charges! We call it the SAAB KEY PROGRAM. Find out saab 93 key fob about it here! How to Replace the Ignition Key in the Saab9-5 The metal part of the classic Saab keys is simple to duplicate and doesn't present a major threat to vehicle theft. The real protection is the electronic component in the key-fob, which has a chip inside which recognizes your car once it's put into the ignition switch. Saab's anti-theft system has relied upon this technology for more than a decade. It's not as secure as a physical lock on the door however it makes the process of stealing your vehicle harder. That's why every Saab owner should always keep an extra key on hand. Most new Saabs come with two keys right from the factory. However, you can add more at an agent using a handheld computer, called 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 is NG 9-3 cars, which have more modern and advanced features that require a separate key-fob to work through a different process. The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module in those cars if the keys are lost, and they'll charge you top dollar for doing it. However, we can reprogram the EEPROM on your computer and prepare it to accept new keys, and not replace the expensive modules. How to Replace the Ignition Key in a Saab XC90 If your SAAB 9-3 key fob is having trouble turning the barrel of the lock It could be the time to replace it. Fortunately, the process is quite simple and doesn't require you to visit an agent. Instead you can complete the process yourself at home by using some basic tools. It is first necessary to prepare the new keys. Before you begin, ensure that the anti-theft feature is disabled by placing blocks on your rear wheels, and then adjusting the handbrake. Then, you can insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position that activates the accessories, but it does not start the engine. Repeat this process five times, and then leave the key in the on position. You'll need to purchase a new case for your key fob. These are available at most auto parts stores and are typically inexpensive. Depending on the model, you could even get them without any electronic components. To open the case simply push the screwdriver with a flathead into the slot in the middle. The case should split easily, and when you've done that, you'll have access to the internal electronics. Use a flathead screwdriver, which will gently pry open the electronic components.
