How to Replace a Saab 93 Key Fob All cars should have a remote/transmitter that can lock or unlock your vehicle. The batteries in these devices could be faulty. If you are thinking of buying a Saab 93 and don't have two keys, you could add one for around $400. This requires purchasing a brand new TWICE module at the dealer and installing it using a special hand-held computer called a Tech2. Replacement Keys Many pre-owned Saabs come with only one key. It is a good idea, as soon as you can, to purchase a spare key. This will be cheaper than replacing the entire vehicle should you lose it. It is essential to rotate the keys in order to reduce wear and wear and tear. If you lose your keys, you will need an entirely new key and a special programming to convince your car that you aren't trying to steal it. The replacement of these modules can cost over $400 and the components are ordered via mail which means it's not a same-day job for the majority of locksmiths, or even dealers. The positive side is that many modern Saab automobiles can be equipped with an additional key that can be added to the system without having to replace the original computer within the vehicle. The dealer will utilize a handheld computer known as Tech-2 to program the second key into the vehicle. Some independent garages can do this, but the process is more complex and they must reprogramme the EEPROM of your car's computer so that it can accept the new key. Replacement key fobs for keys Saab owners who's last key was stolen or lost need to replace it immediately. The steps needed to obtain a new working Saab 9-3 key fob are handled by the dealer's service department and can cost hundreds of dollars, which includes the price of a new key, a new TWICE module (theft warning central electronics integrated) and reprogramming it to convince your car that the extra key is not stolen. If you have a spare key, it is less costly. The new key must be matched to the original TWICE Module. A used key is not compatible. However a genuine OEM replacement is available from the dealer at only a fraction of the price it will cost. The process of obtaining the case for a brand new SAAB key fob is simple. You can make use of a flathead screwdriver pry the case open, but be careful not to harm the electronics inside. After you have removed the electronics and battery you can then replace the case with the shell of the original key fob. Make sure that you align the two pieces and gently press them together and allow them to click into the proper position. When the new fob is installed you can resynchronize it. It's worth noting that adding a new key is more complicated than simply replacing the emergency key, and requires dealer assistance using a specific tool called the Tech-2. Keys for replacement ignition If your car's key won't engage in the ignition, or it doesn't turn on when you press the starter button, first make sure the transmission is in Park. This will stop the car from rolling in the event that the lock on your transmission fails, or when your manual transmission goes into gear. In most instances, it's the electronic components on the key fob, which determines how the car recognizes the key once it's inserted into the ignition. G28 is fairly easy to duplicate, but the electronic part that is in the key fob what makes the car recognize the key. The addition of a second key to the Saab car requires a specific transmitter along with a transponder along with it, and some sort of special programming for the car to convince the computer it is not trying to steal the vehicle. Locksmiths are not able to accomplish this. This is only possible through a dealer, or a handheld computer called Tech2. The good news is that, if you already have one key fob that is working, the cost of acquiring another should be no more than $200 or at least. The other cost is the actual production of the metal key, if you need it. A majority of dealers also make this happen, but it can take several weeks to get both the key and car programmed. Replacement Remotes The Saab 9-3 cabin has been designed with the driver in mind. It has logical layouts aswell in a tactile experience. Its dashboard arcs around the driver, featuring a fun turbo gauge that adds an unique look to its instrumentation. The steering wheels made of leather feature audio, cruise control and phone controls. The console between the seats has only one cupholder, while the knobs for the Bose audio and dual-zone climate controls are laid out according to logic. The touch-screen display is distracting when driving. In terms of power the 9-3 is a reliable performer. Its base low-pressure turbo model takes about 8 seconds to reach 60mph, while the more powerful Viggen can reach 60 mph in just 6.9 seconds. One of the keys to the Turbo X's popularity is its outstanding handling. Despite its nose-heavy 60/40 front-to-rear weight distribution the Turbo X feels agile and balanced on two-lane highways. Fuel economy is the main disadvantage to this car's remarkable dynamic. It's rated at 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg highway when using the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. A special edition Turbo X version with more power is available, but only for 2008. This model includes a unique rear seat that folds flat into the floor, which adds to the cargo capacity. It also comes with a distinctive rear spoiler, as well as a more aggressive bumper.
