The rechargeable batteries contained in the key-fob will eventually wear out, and they can't hold any charge. This is particularly applicable if you are using the same key for the same lock.

A professional locksmith can change the battery quite easily. If you have the right tools and patience you can do it yourself. The first step is to take the key-fob out.

The metal part of classic Saab keys is simple to copy and does not pose a significant threat to theft of vehicles. The electronic component of the key-fob has a chip that can recognize the car when the key is inserted into the ignition switch.

Saab's anti-theft device has been relying on this technology for more than 10 years. It's not as effective as an actual lock on the door but it makes the act of stealing your car harder. That's why every Saab owner should always have an extra key available.

The majority of new Saabs are delivered with two keys, but they can be added at an dealer by 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 to this rule is the NG 9-3 cars, which have more modern, newer features that require a key-fob.

The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module in these cars if all keys are lost, and they'll cost you top dollar for doing it. However, we can reprogram the EEPROM on your computer and prepare it to accept new keys, and not replace the expensive modules.

To open the case, insert a flathead screwdriver in the slot that is in the middle, and gently work it. Once you split the case, you will be able to access all the internal electronics. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pull out the electronics.
