You need to replace the car key when it doesn't turn. This guide will show how to replace the ignition key on a Saab 9-3. You'll need a new key with a reprogrammable battery and a new key-fob case.

Modern Saab models employ a transponder instead of a metal key to unlock the vehicle and allow it to start. The reprogrammable batteries that are in the key-fob eventually wear out, and they will not be able to hold charge. This is especially relevant if you use the same key for the same lock.

The good news is that the battery can be replaced easily by an experienced locksmith. You can also do it yourself if you have the proper tools and a bit of patience. The first step is to disassemble the key-fob from its case. Insert a flathead into the slot in the middle of your case. The plastic is brittle, and easily damaged.

After the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining lower part of the old key with transponder and banana. This will ensure that the new key is linked to the CIM correctly, which can make a big difference when replacing the primary key for your Saab 9-3.

The metal part of a traditional Saab key is simple to copy, and it's also not much of a deterrent against vehicle theft. The real security comes from the electronic part in the key-fob, which contains a chip that detects the car when it's inserted into your ignition switch.

Saab has relied on the technology of this anti-theft device for over 10 years. It's not as secure as a physical lock on the door however it makes the theft of your car much more difficult. This is why every Saab owner should always keep an extra key available.

The majority of new Saabs come with two keys at the factory. However, you can purchase additional keys at a dealer through a special handheld computer referred to 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 is for NG 9-3 cars, which have modernized, more modern features that require a separate key-fob to use a different method of operation.

If you lose all keys and the dealer replaces your CIM or TWICE modules and charge a premium for it. However, we can reprogram your EEPROM on your computer to accept new keys, and not replace the expensive modules.

It could be time to replace your SAAB key fob if it is having trouble turning the barrel of the lock. The procedure is quite simple and you don't need to go to a dealership. Instead you can complete the process yourself at home with only a few tools.

First, you'll need to prepare the new key. Before you begin, disable the anti-theft system by placing blocks under your rear wheels, and then releasing your handbrake. Place the key in the ignition and turn the key to the "on" position. This will activate the accessories, but will not start the engine. Repeat this five times, then turn off the key in the "on" position.

To open the case, gently push the flathead screwdriver into the slot in the middle. Once you split the case, you will have access to all of the internal electronics. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently remove the electronic components.
