This is done by purchasing a new TWICE module at the dealer and installing it with the hand-held computer that is called a Tech2. Keys Replacement Many pre-owned Saabs come with only one key. It is a good idea as soon as possible, to buy a spare one. It will cost less than replacing the entire vehicle should you lose it. It is also essential to rotate your keys on a regular basis so that they don't get all the wear and tear and also to keep them clean. If you lose your sole key you will need to replace the CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) module together with a new key and special programming to convince the car that you're not trying to steal it. These modules can cost up to $400 to replace and are only available through mail or by phone. Most locksmiths and dealers are unable to complete the task on the same day. The good news is, the majority of modern Saab vehicles can have a secondary key that can be added to the system. This is possible without having to replace the original computer. The dealer will have to use a special handheld computer known as Tech-2 Tech-2 to add the second key and program it into the vehicle. There are garages that may also be able to do this however the process is more complicated and they will have to reprogram your existing car's EEPROM to accept the new key. Key fobs replacement Saab owners whose last key was lost or stolen will need to replace it immediately. The steps to get a new working Saab 9-3 key fob requires the dealer's service department. It could cost hundreds of dollars, which includes the cost of a replacement key, a new TWICE module (theft warning with integrated central electronics), and reprogramming to convince the vehicle that the second key is not stolen. If you have a spare key, it is less costly. The new key has to be connected to the original TWICE Module. The Key Lab -hand one will not work. However an authentic OEM replacement is available from a dealer for less than what it costs. Making the case for a new SAAB key fob is fairly simple. Utilize a flathead to pry open the case, but be careful to avoid damaging the electronic components inside. After removing the electronics and battery then you can place a new case into the shell of the old fob. Align the two pieces and then gently press them together to allow them to click into the right place. Once the new fob has been installed you can resynchronize it. Be aware that the process of adding a key is more complicated than replacing an emergency key. The dealer will have to use a specific tool called the Tech-2. Keys to the ignition replacement If your car's ignition key doesn't start when you turn it on or it doesn't turn on when you press the starter button, first make sure the transmission is in Park. This will stop your car from rolling if the lock on your transmission fails or if your manual transmission slams into gear. In most instances, it's the electronic components in the key fob that regulates the way that the car recognizes the key once it's placed into the ignition. The key made of steel is easy to copy but it is the electronic component of the key fob that helps the car recognize the keys. This is not something a locksmith can do. It has to be done by a dealer or through a special handheld computer known as a Tech2. Locksmiths aren't able to accomplish this. It can only be done through a dealer, or a handheld computer known as Tech2. The good news is that if you already have one working key fob the cost of adding another one should be less than $200 or more. The other expense is the actual production of the key made of metal, in the event you require it. A majority of dealers also do this, however it may take several weeks to get both the car and the part programmed. Replacement Remotes The Saab 9-3's cabin is built from the driver's point of view outward and features logical layouts as well as the feel of the controls. Its dashboard arcs around the driver and includes a fun turbo gauge that gives a unique touch to its instrumentation. Leather-wrapped steering wheels come with audio, cruise control and phone controls. A single cupholder can be found on the console that is between the front seats. The knobs for dual-zone climate control as well as the Bose audio system are placed according to logic. The touch screen display can be distracting when driving. In terms of power the 9-3 is a reliable performer. Its turbo model with low pressure takes about 8 seconds to reach 60 mph while the more powerful Viggen can do so in just 6.9 seconds. One of the key factors in the TurboX's success is excellent handling. Despite its heavy nose and 60/40 front-to-rear weight distribution the Turbo X feels agile and balanced on two-lane highways. The economy of the fuel is the only disadvantage to this car's remarkable performance. The turbocharged 2.0-liter motor gets about 27 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. A special edition Turbo X version with more power is available, but only for 2008. The model has a unique rear seat that folds flat to make more space for cargo. It also has a unique rear spoiler, and a more aggressive bumper.
