Saab Key Replacement Having your car keys stolen or lost can be extremely frustrating. It's easy and inexpensive to replace a car key if you have an additional key.

Modern keys are equipped with an electronic chip. The chips provide a large deal of protection against key theft and copying. However, this does not mean that you will never lose your key. If you do lose your keys, don't panic! The first thing you need to do is check the places where you usually store your keys.

Lockouts Saab owners are advised to carry a spare key, because it is simpler to replace a lost or stolen one. If you lose your primary key, it's an issue because it's costly to add one and requires the dealer to install and program a new TWICE module (Column Integration Module for earlier vehicles) and a brand new key that is OEM (not from Amazon or eBay). If you're experiencing issues with your remote control keys not locking or unlocking your car, examine the causes for a variety of possible reasons. The most common reason is a dead battery in the key fob, however it could be caused by worn-out buttons as well as water damage or receiver module issues. If you've tried these steps but the issue persists you can attempt to solve the issue yourself by changing the code in the key. This is done by changing (in reverse Hex) the number count to zero in the ECU. To do this you need access to the case of your car key fob. This can be accomplished by removing the emergency key from the fob. Then, you can use a flathead to remove the fob's case and expose the battery.

Every Saab since 1995 is required to have an immobilizer system in the vehicle, which makes it nearly impossible to steal your car without a unique key. A transponder is required to be included in the key to turn on the car and unlock doors. The key also needs a transmitter/transponder chip that needs to be matched with the car's computer module in order to work. This can only be accomplished by dealers using a tool known as Tech-2 or other similar software. If your key has been damaged in your ignition or lock, it's vital that you don't try to extract it by yourself, since this may damage the lock and cause other issues. If you attempt to force a broken key out typically results in the breaking of the steel key blade or lock mechanism itself. This can become much more expensive than having a key replacement made by a licensed locksmith. Replacement Saab owners from 1994 onwards are advised to keep two working keys for their car.

The dealer will have to replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) in accordance with the model, as well as the key itself. Additionally, lost saab keys will need to be programmed to work with the new module. The key that is claimed to be new from the aftermarket is usually not properly initialized, and will not program correctly when you are in need of one.
