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 real protection comes from the electronic part of the key-fob, which has a chip inside that recognizes your car when it's inserted into your ignition switch.

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

The majority of new Saabs are delivered with two keys, however they can be purchased from an agent using a handheld device known 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 is the NG 9-3 cars, that have modern, more advanced features that require a separate key-fob, and use a different method of operation.

The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module on those cars if keys are lost, and they'll charge you a premium for doing it. We can reprogram your computer's EEPROM to accept new keys without having to replace expensive modules.

It may be time to replace your SAAB key fob if it is having difficulty turning the lock barrel. It's a simple process and you don't even need to go to a dealership. Instead, you can do it yourself at home with some basic tools.

First, you'll need to prepare the keys for your new car. Before you start, disable the anti-theft system by placing blocks underneath the rear wheels and activating your handbrake. Insert the key into the ignition, and then turn it to the "on" position. This will activate the accessories but it will not start the engine. Repeat this process 5 times, then turn off the key in the "on" position.

You'll then have to buy an additional case for your key fob. You can find these at any auto parts store and they're typically very affordable. You can buy them without electronics depending on the model.

To open up the case, insert a flathead screwdriver in the slot in the middle. Gently work it. The case should break easily, and when you've got it open, you'll get access to the internal electronics. To remove the electronics, employ a small screwdriver, and try to pry them out in a gentle manner.
