Why Is Saab Key Fob So Famous?
How to Replace a Saab 93 Key Fob
All cars must come with an electronic remote that can unlock or lock your vehicle. The batteries that are in these devices have a life span and can eventually go bad.

If you have lost your only key you will need to replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) module along with a new key and a special program to convince the car that you're not attempting to steal it. These modules can cost more than $400 to replace and are only available by mail order. Most locksmiths and dealers are unable to complete the task within the same day.
The good news is, most modern Saab vehicles can have a secondary key that can be added to the system. This is possible without having to replace the original computer. The dealer will utilize a handheld computer known as Tech-2 to program the second key into the vehicle. Some independent garages are able do this, however the process is more complex and they need to reprogramme the EEPROM in your car's current computer to allow it to accept the new key.
Key Fobs for Replacement
Saab owners who's last key was lost or stolen will have to replace it in the earliest time possible. The steps needed to obtain a second working Saab 9-3 key fob require the dealer's service department and could cost hundreds of dollars, which includes the cost of a brand new key, a brand new TWICE module (theft alert integrated central electronics) and reprogramming it to convince the vehicle that the second key is not stolen.
If you have a spare key the process is much less costly. The new key has to be paired with the original TWICE module and a pre-owned one is unlikely to work in this scenario, however an authentic OEM replacement is typically obtained from a dealer at only a fraction of the price.

In the majority of cases the issue lies in the electronics inside the key fob that control how the car will recognize the key after it has been in the ignition cylinder. The key made of metal is simple to copy but it is the electronic component of the key fob that makes the car recognize keys.
This is not something that a locksmith can do. It must be handled by a dealer, or a special handheld computer known as Tech2. This is not something that a locksmith can do, it has to be done by a dealer or an electronic handheld computer called a Tech2.
G28CarKeys is that if you have one working key fob, the cost of adding another one should be under $200 or as much.

Replacement Remotes
The Saab's 9-3 cabin is designed with the driver in mind. It offers logical layouts as well as a tactile feel. The dashboard of the Saab 9-3 is designed to arc around the driver and has an air-tight gauge that provides a unique touch. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has audio, cruise control, and phone controls.
The console in between the seats has one cupholder and the knobs for the Bose audio and dual-zone climate controls are arranged well. A touch-screen display can be used to combine music and navigation functions, however the system can be distracting while driving.
The 9-3 is an excellent performer in terms power. Its base low pressure turbo model takes about 8 seconds to reach speeds of 60 mph, while the more powerful Viggen can reach that speed in only 6.9 second.
The handling of this car is a key factor in its success. Despite its nose-heavy 60/40 front-to-rear weight distribution the Turbo X feels agile and well-balanced on two-lane highways.
The economy of the fuel is the only negative aspect of this car's dynamic. The turbocharged 2.0-liter motor is able to get about 27 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. The Turbo X special edition with more power will be available in 2008 only. This model comes with an exclusive rear seat that can be folded flat to maximize the space for cargo. It also has a unique rear spoiler, as well as a more aggressive bumper.
