You have to replace your car key when it doesn't turn. This guide will explain how to replace the ignition key on the replacement saab key 9-3. You'll need to replace the key, purchase a new reprogrammable cell, and purchase a new case for your key-fob.

The most modern saab car key replacement models employ a transponder instead of a key made of metal to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start. The issue with this is that the reprogrammable battery in the key-fob will eventually wear out and not hold a charge any longer. This is particularly relevant if you use the same key for the lock you have.

A professional locksmith can replace the battery with ease. If you've got the right tools, and a little patience, you can do it yourself. The first step is to take the key-fob from its case. This is accomplished by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the slot located in middle of the case. The plastic is very thin and can easily be damaged.

When the case is opened and the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining the lower portion of the old key with the transponder and banana on the new key. This will ensure the new key is properly paired to your CIM and could make a big difference when replacing the sole key of your Saab 9-3.

The metal component of a classic Saab key is simple to copy, and is also not much of a deterrent against theft of vehicles. The electronic part of the key-fob comes with an electronic chip that detects the car when the key is inserted in the ignition switch.

Saab has relied on the technology of this anti-theft device for over a decade. It's not as effective as a physical lock for your door but it does make stealing your car more difficult. Every Saab owner should keep an extra Saab key in their car.

The majority of new Saabs come with two keys. However, they can be added at the dealer's expense using a handheld device 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 to this is the NG 9-3 vehicles which are more modern and more advanced features that require a key-fob.

If you lose all keys, the dealer will replace your CIM or TWICE modules and charge you an extra fee. But we can reprogram the EEPROM on your computer and make it accept new keys without replacing the expensive modules.

To open up the case, put a flathead screwdriver in the slot that is in the middle and gently work it. The case should break easily and, once you have it, you'll be able to gain access to the internal electronics. To get rid of the electronics, use a small flathead screwdriver and attempt to pull them out in a gentle manner.
