  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Who are we currently using to clone a key in the States? My one working key is weak and sometimes say "key not accepted" and I have an old one from the original TWICE. Who can I send the two keys to and have them paired? no one in town will do it.
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Bit of a tale, but hoping someone can help me find the correct path with this issue. I “inherited” a wonderful 2008 9-3 Turbo X from my ex bf. (Hence the name ;)) He used to cherish this car, but since we moved to Europe a few years ago it has been naturally degrading as it sits while I’m...

    So, after 3 frustrating months checking every existing thread and trying about every sensible solution, we're really hoping someone here might be able to shed any light on this issue, either resolving it or explaining how to just completely remove the alarm system altogether. Here goes: 1...

    Hello, I cannot turn the key in the ignition switch beyond the "Lock" position in my Saab 9-3 SE Coupe, I-gen, 2001, manual transmission, European version. I found instructions on the forums on how to remove the ignition switch cylinder for cleaning, but for that you have to have the key in the...
  9. Tech II Workshop
    I am sure this has been covered tonnes of times but there is so much confusing info about it. What I want to do is Programe new keys and start looking at modify setting and ECU etc so basically everything from diagnostics to programing. My Car is a SAAB 9-3 1.9 TD 120Bhp Estate 2009. I read...

    Sandy Automotive in OKC made 2 replacement keys for my Saab 2011 9-3 Convertible. They were fast, reasonably priced, and super nice. Give them a call if you need a replacement key! The housing on my original key crumbled (??) and no one else in OKC could create a new key for me until I found...

    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...

    Hey all you Saab ninjas! My name is Joe Herring - I live in Port Orchard, WA (USA) and I've got an issue that to my understanding, requires a tech II to get my 1999 Saab 9-5 back on the road. During my foolish attempt to make multiple keys, I tried to install the transponder from my ONLY working...
  14. 9000 Workshop
    I've recently acquired a 1987 Saab 9000 Turbo. The distributor in the car is blown so we didn't bother turning the key when we looked at it. Once we dropped it off at home, I tried to at least get the engine to turn over, but when I put the key in, it wouldn't move at all. I jiggled the...
  15. Tech II Workshop
    I have a 2004 9-3 convertible with 130k miles. I've had this car for a few months and haven't had any sort of issues until yesterday. For some reason, the horn will sound 2-3 little chirps and the trunk will unlatch or vise versa. I cannot seem to figure out why this is happening. The only way I...

    Recently had to smash my rear window to gain access to my car. Here's the story... Locked the car, went to work and came out after my shift to find the remote didn't unlock the car, close range or far, angles etc so i got a new battery for it from the shop and still nothing. Took out the metal...

    I spent some time looking at various discussions about keyfob issues but I feel my situation is a bit unique in that, amongst some other things, the actual key inside the keyfob doesn't unlock the door. If this is not unusual and covered in another thread, please feel free to point me in the...
  18. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello, My car wouldn't unlock on the electronic key fob. I followed the advice elsewhere on this forum and used the key on the hidden keyhole on the right hand side of the hatchback lid, crawled over the back seat and opened the car manually. I was expecting the car battery to be flat ... but...
  19. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hopefully this is ok to put here, I was personally in a situation needing Saab keys a couple years ago and dealer is outrageous. If anyone needs a key for 03-09 at least you can ship me CIM module and I can flash in a new key for $200 (negotiable), with me supplying the "gummy" remote head key...

    Hello I have a 2004 saab 9-3 aero. I'm having issues locking the doors. The car used to lock and unlock with the remote but now it doesn't.
