How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key

The Saab 9-3 is an excellent car that provides a lot of appeal for drivers. It has excellent visibility and an efficient engine. It also has a great safety rating.

However, it's important to ensure that you have at the very least two keys that work for your vehicle. If you lose one key, it can be expensive to replace it with the new one.

How to replace the ignition Key on the Saab 9-3

If your car's keys won't turn in the ignition you must replace it. This guide will show how to replace the ignition key on a Saab 9-3. You will need a replacement key as well as a reprogrammable battery as well as a new key-fob cover.

In contrast to older models, the majority of modern Saab cars have an electronic transponder inside the key-fob instead of a physical key made of metal to unlock and start the car. The reprogrammable batteries in the key-fob eventually become worn out and aren't able to hold any charge. This is particularly the case if you use the same key for the same lock.

A professional locksmith can replace the battery with ease. You can also do it yourself if you have the appropriate tools and a bit of patience. The first step is separating the key-fob. This is accomplished by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the slot located in middle of the case. The plastic is thin and it is susceptible to being damaged.

Once the case is opened and you are able to prepare the new key by combining the lower section of the key that was used previously with the banana and transponder on the new key. This will ensure that the new key is linked to the CIM correctly, which could make a huge difference when replacing the only key for your Saab 9-3.

If you don't have two keys you'll need to remove the dashboard and steering wheel to get to the ignition. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. After the battery has been disconnected, it is possible to remove all the trim pieces and dashboard pieces that surround the steering wheel. Once the dashboard is removed, you can insert screws into the hole behind the ignition switch.

The ignition cylinder comes with a lock for keys that could prevent the vehicle from starting if you don't have the key in it. If the ignition switch on your 900 isn't functioning correctly, make sure to check if the key is in the lock or stuck inside the ignition barrel. It's also a good idea to rotate your keys regularly and clean them regularly so that one doesn't get bent.

Saab cars differ from other cars because they don't use traditional metal keys. Instead, the car recognizes electronic signals coming from the key fob by using an specialized microchip inside.

If you only lose one working key fob, your dealer will charge you an additional fee to replace your computer module (also called the CIM). We can reprogram the EEPROM on your existing computer and allow it to accept new keys without having to replace it. This can save you more than 50% of the cost the dealer charges! We call it the SAAB KEY PROGRAM. Learn more about it here!

How to Replace the Ignition Key on a Saab 9-5

The metal component of a traditional Saab key is easy to copy, and it's not much of an impediment against vehicle theft. The real security comes from the electronic part in the key-fob, which contains a chip that detects the car when it's inserted into your ignition switch.

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

The majority of new Saabs come with two keys, but they are also available for purchase at the dealer's expense using a handheld device referred to 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 NG 9-3 vehicles, that have more modern, more advanced features that require an ignition key.

The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module in those cars if keys have been lost, and charge you a premium for the process. We can reprogram your computer's EEPROM to accept new keys, without replacing expensive modules.


How do you replace the ignition Key in the Saab XC90

It may be time to replace your SAAB key fob if you're experiencing issues turning the lock barrel. It's a simple process and you don't need to go to a dealership. You can complete the process at home with just a few basic tools.

First, you'll need to prepare the keys for your new car. Before you begin, ensure that the anti-theft system has been disabled by placing blocks on your rear wheels, and then adjusting the handbrake. Next, put the key in the ignition and switch it to the on position which activates the accessories but does not start the engine. Repeat this procedure 5 times, and then keep the key in the "on" position.

Next, you'll need to purchase a new case for your key fob. You can find these at any auto parts shop, and they're usually quite affordable. They can be purchased with or without electronics, depending on the model.

To open the case you need to gently push the flathead screwdriver into the slot in the middle. After you've separated the case, you'll be able to access all the internal electronics. To get rid of the electronics, use a small flathead screwdriver and try to pry them out gently.
