Keys lost or stolen

The key to your car is just as easy to make copies of now as it was twenty years ago. The only difference is that modern keys are equipped with an electronic chip in them. These chips provide a good amount of protection from theft and key copying. However, this does not mean that you'll never lose your key.

If you do lose your keys, don't panic! Check the places you usually keep your keys. You might find them in your pockets for your jacket, pants or even on the ground near your front door. If you still can't find your keys, contact a locksmith who will visit your vehicle and assist you in locating them.

Lockouts

Saab owners are advised to carry a spare key, because it's easier to replace a lost or stolen one. If you lose only one key, it's an issue since it's expensive to add one and requires the dealer to install and program a brand new TWICE module (Column Integration Module in earlier cars) and a brand new key that is OEM (not from Amazon or eBay).

If you're experiencing issues with your remote control keys not locking or unlocking your car, examine the causes for a variety of possible reasons. The most common cause is the battery of the coin that is dead in the key fob, but it can be caused by damaged buttons as well as water damage, signal interference, and receiver module issues.

If you've done these checks but the issue persists it is possible to fix it yourself by changing the code in the key. This is done by changing (in reverse Hex) the number count to zero in the ECU. To do this, you have to get access to the case of your car key fob. The best way to do this is by removing the emergency key from the fob. Once you have done this, you can use a flathead screwdriver to open the case and expose the battery. Do not pour or drop liquids into the fob, since this could harm the electronic components.

The key also needs a transmitter/transponder chip that needs to be matched with the car's computer module in order to work. This can only be done at an authorized dealer, using the special tool known as Tech-2 Tech-2 or another similar type of software.
