How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key The Saab 9-3 is an excellent car that offers a lot of appeal for drivers. It has good visibility and an efficient engine. It has a very high safety rating. However, it's important to ensure that you have at minimum two keys that are working for your car. It could be costly to replace a key if you lose it. How to Replace the Ignition Key on the Saab 9-3 You'll need to replace the car key when it doesn't turn. This guide will walk you through how to do it on a Saab 9-3. You'll need a replacement key and a new battery that can be reprogrammed, and a new key-fob case. Most modern Saab models use a transponder instead of a metal key to unlock the car and begin it. The issue with this is that the reprogrammable batteries in the key-fob can wear out and not hold a charge anymore. This is especially relevant if you continue to use the same key for the same lock. A professional locksmith can change the battery with ease. If you've got the right tools, and a little patience you can do it yourself. The first step is separating the key-fob. Insert an open-ended head into the slot that is in the middle of your case. It is essential to work slowly, since the plastic is extremely thin and easily damaged. After the case has been opened, you can create the new key by combining the lower part of old key with transponder and banana. This will ensure that the new key is connected to the CIM correctly, which could make a huge difference when replacing the primary 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 will have to take off the steering wheel and dashboard to gain access to the ignition. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. After the battery has been disconnected, you can take off all the trim pieces as well as dashboard pieces that surround the steering wheel. After the dashboard has been removed, you can insert an opening with a screwdriver behind the ignition switch. The ignition cylinder is equipped with a key lock that can stop the car from starting if the key isn't inside it. If your 900's ignition switch isn't working, look at the key to see whether it's in the lock or stuck in the barrel of ignition. It is also recommended to rotate your keys and keep them clean to avoid being bent. Saab cars differ from other cars in that they don't have traditional metal keys. Instead, the car detects the key fob's electric signals through a special chip embedded in it. If you have lost your only working key fob the dealer will charge the highest dollar for the replacement of your computer module (known as the CIM). We can reprogram the EEPROM on your existing computer and make it accept new keys, without the need to replace it. This will save you over 50% of the cost the dealer charges! This is the SAAB KEY PROGRAM. Find out more information about it here! How to Replace the Ignition Key on a Saab 9-5 The metal portion of a traditional Saab key is easy to copy, and is also not a major obstacle against vehicle theft. The electronic portion of the key fob has a chip that recognizes the car when the key is put in the ignition switch. Saab has relied on the technology of this anti-theft system for over 10 years. It's not quite as effective as a physical door lock however it makes stealing your car much more difficult. Every Saab owner needs to keep a spare Saab key in their vehicle. The majority of new Saabs are delivered with two keys. However, they are also available for purchase at an dealer by using a handheld device known 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 rule is the NG 9-3 vehicles with more modern, more advanced features that require a key-fob. The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module in these vehicles if all keys have been lost, and charge you a high price for the process. However, we can reprogram your EEPROM in your existing computer and make it accept new keys, without replacing the expensive modules.
