How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key The Saab 9-3 is an excellent car that provides a lot of driver appeal. It has a powerful engine and good visibility. It also has a top safety rating. However, it's important to make sure that you have at the very least two keys that are working for your car. It can be expensive to replace a key if you lose it. How to replace the ignition Key on the Saab 9-3 If your car key won't engage in the ignition and you want to replace it, you'll need to replace it. This guide will guide you through the steps to do it on a Saab 9-3. You'll need a new key, a new reprogrammable battery and a brand new key-fob cover. Modern Saab models make use of a transponder instead of a key made of metal to unlock the car and start it. The issue with this is that the reprogrammable battery in the key-fob can wear out and lose charge anymore. This is particularly applicable if you are using the same key for the same lock. The good news is that it can be replaced easily by a professional locksmith. If you have the right tools, and a little patience you can do it yourself. The first step is to remove the key-fob out. Insert an open-ended head into the slot that is in the middle of your case. The plastic is thin and it is susceptible to being damaged. Once the case is opened then you can prepare the new key by combining the lower portion of the previous key with the banana and transponder on the new key. This will ensure that the new key is linked to the CIM properly, which could make a big difference when replacing the only key for your Saab 9-3. How do you replace the ignition Key on a Saab 900 If you don't have two keys you'll need to take off the dashboard and steering wheel for access to the ignition. Start by disconnecting your negative battery cable. Once the battery is disconnected, it is possible to remove all the trim pieces as well as dashboard pieces that surround the steering wheel. Once the dash is removed, you can insert a screwdriver into the hole on the back of the ignition switch and pull it out. The ignition cylinder comes with a key lock, which can stop the vehicle from starting if it doesn't have the key inside it. If the ignition switch of your 900 isn't working, check the key to see whether it's inside the lock or stuck in the ignition barrel. It is also important to rotate your keys and keep them clean to prevent being bent. Saab cars differ from other cars because they do not use traditional keys made of metal. Instead, the car recognizes the electronic signals from the key fob through a special chip embedded in it. If you have lost your only working key fob, the dealer will charge you top dollar for the replacement of your computer module (known as the CIM). But we can reprogram your existing computer's EEPROM to prepare it to accept new keys without replacing it. This can save you over 50% of the price the dealer charges! We call it the SAAB Key PROGRAM. Find out saab replacement key ! How do you replace the ignition Key in a Saab9-5 The metal part of classic Saab keys is easy to copy and doesn't present a major threat to theft of vehicles. The real protection is the electronic component inside the key-fob. It has a chip inside which recognizes your car once it is inserted into the ignition switch. Saab's anti-theft system has relied upon this technology for more than a decade. It's not as efficient as a door lock but it does make stealing your car a lot harder. This is why every Saab owner should always keep a spare key on hand. Most new Saabs come with two keys from the factory, but you can upgrade them at an authorized dealer using a handheld computer known as Tech-2. 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 the NG 9-3 cars, that have more modern, more advanced features that require the use of a key-fob. If you lose all keys, the dealer will replace your CIM or TWICE modules, and charge you the cost of replacement. We can reprogram your computer's EEPROM to accept new keys without replacing expensive modules. How to replace the ignition Key in the Saab XC90 It's probably time to replace your SAAB key fob if it is experiencing difficulty turning the barrel of your lock. The process is fairly simple and you don't even need to visit a dealer. Instead, you can do it yourself at home using some basic tools. First, you'll need to make the new keys. Before starting, make sure that the anti-theft feature is disabled by placing blocks on your rear wheels and engaging the handbrake. Then, you can insert the key into the ignition and switch it to the on position which activates the accessories, but it doesn't start the engine. Repeat this 5 times, and then leave the key on the "on" position. You'll then need to purchase an additional case for your key fob. You can find them at any auto parts store and they're generally quite affordable. Depending on the model, you could even buy them without electronics. To open the case simply push the screwdriver with a flathead into the slot in the middle. Once you split the case, you'll be able to access all the internal electronics. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry out the electronic components.
