The Saab 9-3 is a great car that offers a lot of driver appeal. It has a powerful engine as well as good visibility. It has a very high safety rating. 
 
It is crucial to have two keys that are compatible for your vehicle. It can be costly to replace a key in the event that you lose it. 
 
How to replace the ignition Key on the Saab 9-3 
 
You have to replace your car keys in case it isn’t turning. This guide will show you how to replace the ignition key on the Saab 9-3. You’ll have to replace the key, buy an additional reprogrammable cell and then purchase a new casing for your key-fob. 
 
Contrary to earlier models, modern Saab vehicles use transponders in the key-fob instead physical key made of metal to unlock and start the car. The rechargeable batteries contained in the key-fob inevitably expire, and they will not be able to hold charge. This is particularly applicable if you are using the same key for the lock you have. 
 
A professional locksmith can replace the battery with ease. You can also do it yourself if have the right tools and a bit of patience. The first step is taking the key-fob apart. Insert flatheads into the slot in the middle of your case. You must work slowly, since the plastic is very thin and can easily be damaged. 
 
Once the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining lower part of the key from earlier with the transponder and banana. This will ensure that the new key is properly connected to your CIM and could be a major difference when replacing the sole key for your Saab 9-3.

If you don’t have two keys you’ll need to take off the steering wheel and dashboard to get to the ignition. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. After the battery has been disconnected, you can remove all the trim pieces and dashboard pieces that surround the steering wheel. Once the dash has been removed, you can put a screwdriver into the hole on the back of the ignition switch and take it out. 
 
The ignition barrel has the key lock, which can stop the vehicle from starting if the key isn’t in it. If the ignition switch on your 900 doesn’t work properly, check to see whether the key is in the lock or stuck inside the ignition barrel. It’s also a good idea to rotate your keys regularly and clean them regularly to ensure that they don’t get bent. 
 
Saab cars differ from other cars in the sense that they don’t utilize traditional keys made of metal. Instead, the car is able to recognize electrical signals that come from the key fob using the use of a special microchip. 
 
If you lose your only working key fob, the dealer will charge the highest dollar to replace the computer module (known as the CIM). We can reprogram the EEPROM of your computer to make it accept new keys without having to replace it. This can save you more than 50% of what the dealer charges! This is the SAAB KEY PROGRAM.

The metal part of classic Saab keys is simple to duplicate and doesn’t pose a significant threat to vehicle theft. The real security is the electronic component that’s in the key fob, which has a chip inside that recognizes your car when it is inserted into the ignition switch. 
 
Saab has relied on the technology of this anti-theft device for over a decade. It’s not as effective as a physical lock on the door however it makes the act of stealing your car more difficult. Every Saab owner must keep a spare Saab key in their vehicle. 
 
The majority of new Saabs come with two keys from the factory, however you can purchase additional keys at an authorized dealer using a handheld computer, called 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 NG 9-3 cars, that have more modern and advanced features that require a separate key-fob to use a different method of operation. 
 
The dealer will replace the CIM or TWICE module in those cars if keys are lost, and charge you a premium for this. However, we can reprogram your EEPROM on your computer and make it accept new keys, and not replace the expensive modules. 
 
How do I replace the ignition Key on the Saab XC90 
 
It’s possible to replace your SAAB key fob if you are experiencing issues turning the barrel of the lock. The procedure is quite simple and you don’t need to visit a dealer. You can do it at home using just a few simple tools. 
 
It is first necessary to prepare the keys for your new car. Before you begin, disable the anti-theft by placing blocks under your rear wheels, and then releasing your handbrake. Insert the key in the ignition and turn the key to the “on” position. This will activate the accessories, but it will not start the engine. Repeat this five times and leave the key in the on position. 
 
The next step is to find a new case for your old key fob. They can be found at a variety of auto parts stores and are generally quite affordable. You can buy them without electronics depending on the model. 
 
To open the case simply push the screwdriver with a flathead into the slot in the middle. The case should split easily, and when you have it, you’ll be able to gain access to the internal electronics. To take the electronics out, employ a small screwdriver and try to pry them out with a gentle force.
