Saab Key Replacement It can be extremely frustrating to lose keys to your car stolen. If you have an extra key, attaching a new key to your car is comparatively inexpensive and easy. You'll need to take out the electronic component of your old key fob and then program it to your vehicle using a saab Tech 2 device. There will be a cost for putting off this process. Keys lost or stolen It is as easy as ever to copy the key onto your vehicle just like it was 20 years ago. The only difference is that modern keys are equipped with an electronic chip inside them. These chips provide a good amount of protection against theft and key copying. However, this doesn't mean that you will never lose your key. If The Keylab do lose your keys, don't panic! The first thing you should examine the areas where you usually store your keys. You might find them in your pockets of your jacket, pants or even lying on the ground next to your front door. If you still can't find your keys, you should contact a locksmith to visit your vehicle and assist you in finding them. If all your keys are lost the dealer will repair your car's computer (SAAB CIM or SAAB Twice) in order to create your a new key. This is expensive and could take a few days to complete. We can reprogram the EEPROM of your computer and save you money. The ignition key on the 03-11 SAAB isn't very durable. They tend to become sticky, and the buttons may be removed from time to time. If you're down to one working ignition key, you should make copies as quickly as you can, to avoid any inconveniences. Lockouts Saab owners should have an extra key since it's much simpler to replace keys that are lost or stolen. If you lose your primary key, it's an issue as it's quite costly to add one and requires a dealer to install and program a brand new TWICE module (Column Integration Module on older cars) and also a brand-new key that is OEM (not from Amazon or eBay). If you're having issues with your remote control keys not locking or unlocking your car, you need to look for a variety of possible causes. The most frequent cause is an empty battery on the key fob but it can be caused by damaged buttons or water damage, signal interference and issues with the receiver module. If you've looked them up but the issue persists, you can try to solve it yourself by reprogramming the key. This is done by changing (in inverse Hex) the number count to zero in the ECU. To accomplish this, you will need to get access to the case of your car key fob. The most efficient method to accomplish this is to remove the emergency key from the fob. Then, you can employ a flathead to lift the fob's case to expose the battery. Don't pour or drop liquids into the fob, as this can cause damage to electronic components. Broken Keys Car keys being stolen or lost is a painful experience, particularly if you don't have an extra. Luckily, you can minimize the stress by having replacement keys made by an experienced auto locksmith in Bishopthorpe. No matter if you're in the middle of nowhere or just a few miles away we can supply you with a fresh set of electronic chip keys in no time. Every Saab since 1995 is required to have an immobilizer in the vehicle, which makes it almost impossible to take your car away without a key. The key requires a transponder that is embedded in it to turn on the engine and open your 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 done by dealers using a specific tool known as Tech-2 or a similar program. If you find that your key has been broken in your ignition lock, it's important that you don't try to extract it by yourself, since this could damage the lock and cause further issues. If you attempt to force a key or lock that is broken out, it typically breaks the steel blade of the key or the mechanism of the lock. This could be more expensive than having a key replacement done by a licensed locksmith. Replacement Owners of Saab cars from about 1994 and beyond are advised to have at least two working keys for their vehicle. Replacing just one key can be costly and complex. The dealer must replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics), depending on the model, as well as the key itself; plus it will have to be programmed to work with the new module. Keys purchased from aftermarket sellers are usually not properly initialized and not program correctly when you require them. It is not uncommon for the battery in the key fob to wear out after a few years of usage, particularly when it is used frequently for locking and unlocking the car. The replacement of the battery on all SAAB 9-3 models is simple and does not require any special tools. A mobile SAAB locksmith will usually be able to do this for 75% less than what a dealer would charge for the same service. Locksmiths don't have to replace the car's computers and can re-program the existing EEPROM in order to accept the new keys. This could save you a significant amount of cash as a new computer for your car is expensive. This is the reason it makes sense to call a mobile SAAB locksmith whenever you require an extra key fob to your vehicle.
