How to Replace a Saab 93 Key Fob Every car must be equipped with a key fob and a remote or transmitter that can lock and unlock your vehicle. The batteries contained in these devices are able to last for and they can also go bad. saab car keys can add a second key on a Saab 93 for about $400 if you don't already have two. This requires purchasing a brand new TWICE module from a dealer and installing it with an exclusive hand-held computer known as a Tech2. Key Replacement Many used Saabs come with only one key. It is a good idea as soon as possible, to buy a spare key. This will be less expensive than replacing the entire vehicle in case you lose it. It is essential to rotate the keys to avoid wear and wear and tear. If you have lost your only key, you'll have to replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) module and a new one and special programming to convince the car you are not trying to steal it. The replacement of these modules can be more than $400 and the components are shipped out, which means it's not a job that can be completed in a single day for the majority of locksmiths or dealers. The good news is that a majority of modern Saab automobiles can be equipped with an additional key that can be added to the system, without replacing the original computer in the vehicle. The dealer will have to use a specific handheld computer known as a Tech-2 to add the second key and then program it into the vehicle. Some independent garages are able to do this, however the process is more complicated and they need to reprogramme the EEPROM in your car's current computer to allow it to accept the new key. Replacement key fobs Saab owners whose previous key was stolen or lost require replacement as soon as they can. The steps needed to obtain a second working Saab 9-3 key fob require the dealer's service department. This could cost hundreds of dollars, not including the cost of a brand new key, a new TWICE module (theft warning with integrated central electronics), and reprogramming to convince the vehicle that the new key is not stolen. If you have a spare key however, the process is much less costly. The new key has to be matched to the original TWICE Module. A second-hand one is not compatible. However an authentic OEM replacement is available from a dealer at just a fraction of what it costs. The process of obtaining the case for a brand new SAAB key fob is fairly simple. You can use a flathead screwdriver open the case, but be careful not to damage the electronic components inside. After removing the battery and electronics then you can replace the case with the shell of the original key fob. Make sure that you align the two pieces and then gently press them in place so that they click into the right position. Once everything is fitted, you can resynchronize the new fob. It is important to know that installing a key can be more complicated than replacing an emergency key. The dealer will have to use a special tool known as the Tech-2. Keys for replacement ignition If the car's key won't engage in the ignition, or doesn't begin when you press the starter button, first check that the transmission is in Park. This will stop the car from rolling in the event that the lock on your transmission fails or if your manual transmission pops into gear. In most cases, it's the electronics inside the key fob that control how the car recognises the key once it's put into the ignition. The key made of metal is easy to duplicate, but it is the electronic component of the key fob which makes the car recognize the keys. Making an additional key for the Saab car requires a special transmitter, a transponder that goes with it and a type of programming specific to the car to convince the computer that it is not trying to steal the vehicle. This is not something that a locksmith can do, it needs to be done by a dealer or through a handheld computer that is called a Tech2. The good news is that if you have one working key fob the cost of purchasing another should be less than $200 or at least. The other cost is the actual fabrication of the metal key should you require it. Many dealers can do the same thing, however it may take some time to get the part and the car programmed. Replacement Remotes The cabin of the Saab 9-3 is designed with the driver in mind. It features logical layouts as well in a tactile experience. The dashboard wraps around the driver and includes an exciting turbo vacuum gauge to add an original touch to its instrumentation. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has audio, cruise control and phone controls. A single cupholder is located on the console between the front seats, while knobs for dual-zone climate control as well as the Bose audio system are placed well. The touch-screen display could be distracting while driving. The 9-3 is an excellent performer when it comes to power. Its base low pressure turbo model takes around 8 seconds to reach speeds of 60 mph. However, the more powerful Viggen is able to do it in only 6.9 second. One key to the TurboX's success is outstanding handling. Despite its weight distribution of 60/40 front-to-back, the Turbo X is agile and well-balanced on two-lane highways. The economy of the fuel is the only negative aspect of this car's dynamic. It's estimated to get 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. A special edition Turbo X version with more power is available but only for 2008. This model comes with a unique rear-seat that folds into the floor to maximize the space for cargo. It also has a unique rear spoiler, and a more aggressive bumper.
