  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I last posted about losing my key and having to use a cim reprogramming service. It worked for being able to unlock and lock my door but wouldn’t release my steering wheel lock because I tried removing the steering column lock while trying to remove my steering wheel. I eventually found my...
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I have a 2003 9-3 se and 2 key fobs, one of them is brand new from eSaab and programmed to the car. The buttons on both of the fobs do not do anything when pressed, and I tried pressing unlock 5 times. Brand new batteries on both. The actual key will unlock from the door and start the car just...

  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi I have a 2005 9-3 Arc convertible and I need a second key made since I just have one and it's starting to come apart. I live in central NJ and would like to know if anyone has done this in the past and if I should be looking for someone that deals specifically with Saab vehicles. I did find...
  5. Tech II Workshop
    Hey all, Please help me on this. So my existing (working) key on my 2006 9-3 aero was intermittently not being recognized by the car, I cleaned the ISM contacts and went out and bought 2 more used ism's plus a new ism circuit board trying to isolate the issue to no avail. I took the key...
  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Greetings My 2005 9-3 2.0T Arc 135,000mi has a "Steering Lock Malfunction Make a Safe Stop Contact a Saab Dealer" message. I bought the car recently as a project car and I was really hoping to get it fixed up a little cheaper than its currently going. I'm getting close to spending too...
  7. 9-5 Workshop
    Took my car to have the shifter slider replaced. We do not have a Saab mechanic in town. They had trouble getting her back together. When I brought her home, I could not turn her all the way off. The radio remained on (punched it off) and the door gonged when I opened it. I could not lock...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I don't have the comfort package open/close feature. As I understand it, I'd need a completely different ECU to enable it. Has anyone added this feature aftermarket? For clarity, I'm referring mostly to activating the convertible top using the aux button on the key fob.
  9. 9-5 Workshop
    First, I am new here so be gentle. I have a 2004 95 wagon that my buddy gave me with only one key. The remote doesn't work at all. Battery tested good, but still no go. I took a close look at the contacts and circuit and don't see any breaks. I went to the local lock smith and asked it he could...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So I turn to the forum for another Fix. I have a 2006 saab 9-3 aero V6. So basically my car sat (2-3 weeks) for a little while, while I was waiting for a repair part to come in (12847287 and 12588555) after they cracked while changing out the ignition coils and spark plugs. After that I tried...
  11. 9-5 Workshop
    I recently purchased my 2006 Saab 9-5 2.3t From a dealership in Ohio. I have been driving it fine for a while, then one day about a week after changing the Key Battery (key+fob single unit) the error "Key Not Accepted, Contact Service" Error message pops up 95% of the time on the SID. I can...

  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi there, first off let me say that I did as much googling and searching of the forum as I could, but either the thread didn't exactly fit my situation, or I had no clue what I was reading. Sorry if this is a redundant thread. Anyway, I got a 04 9-3 Linear in January. It came with one key fob...
  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Guys, can you please check out my video on YouTube and tell me what could be causing this to take place? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk8xR2lVPlw This first started happening three weeks ago, my keys were in horrible condition. I dished out $124.00 for two brand new key FOBS with new...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I went out to dinner with my gf, key/fob was working great - locked my doors, set the alarm and went inside....Came out after a delicious dinner and the keyless no longer worked. I've had no software updates and the car battery is good. I have replaced the keyless remote battery and it still...
  17. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I just brought a 2005 9-3 and I really like it. I have questions about the key fob. My key fob is original and the rubber body has broken down. I want to replace the key fob and buy a second since I have just the single key. It appears that there are two ways to go. Buy an original key fob...
  18. 9000 Workshop
    My car didn't come with a key fob and the radio was cut out, and I heard that this might cause it to have starting troubles. Is this true? Can I use newer Saab fobs (all in ones like for the 9-3), or only the teardrop kind?
  19. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    The magnet on the key fob circuit board is broken. Otherwise, it's in one piece and the key can remotely lock and unlock the car fully. Of course, the car won't start because the ignition is dependent on the magnet. Is there another way to turn the ignition?
