security

I have a Tech II clone and GlobalTis. All I have every seen is security level 3. I see other posts that people have security level 1. I can't tell which one is better. Anyone know: what security levels exist? what each allows or disallows? how to get a better or worse level? I...

Hi All, Just wondering if someone can give me a hand. My clones RS232 has failed out before I could get a BIN file with security access for my 03 9-3SS. I replaced the MAX232 chip to no avail. (I will be looking to try the FTDI USB mod next) If I uploaded a .BIN after requesting security...

Right now , for no apparent reason , my 2000 9-5 2.3t wagon will stutter before starting. On trying ignition , the cluster light panel appears WEAK (no life in those lights ) and then after some , "throat cleansing noise" - it will eventually muster up power to start. Few days ago , it just sat...

it looks like this maybe SID2 related but precisely what part is causing this, is what I am trying to understand . Ok here is a bit of history. Initially Siren use to come on , every-time I tried to use the remote. So disconnected the Siren. After that , for a few months , remote worked...

And the list of my woes with this SAAB just goes on....Just a week ago , I stuck a big glass of soda on the cup-holder. Being less than half filled , I thought it would stay. Hit the brakes on a hair pin bend and the holder just turned on 90 deg like a fighter jet doing an acrobat, soda on the...

I tried to explain a few months ago my problem, but I failed miserably. Now I received a working 1999 SAAB 93 2.0t. The base model. The problem I am having is the keys unlock the doors and all that jazz, but I can't start the car without pressing the unlock button on the FOB with my keys in the...

Hello all you Saab lovers. I just bought a 1993 SAAB 900 for my kid. BUT we seem to keep having issues with the factory alarm. The battery (new) keeps dying and this time we can't start the car due to the security system. Any hints? Can we simply disable the security system? We think it's...

Hi, I recently got a 2006 9-3 2.0T, just a few days ago though the remote entry started acting weird. I heard the alarm go off in the morning, and since then it's been not really unlocking with the remote. Sometimes after driving for 15 minutes+ it will let me use the remote, but after a few...

I have a 1999 Saab 9-5 4cyl manual (one of the first -June '98) and this site has been great. I've fixed my AC drains, the SID, Trunk Release, Driver's side heater box blend valve and both front windows based on posts here. Thanks to those who provide details and pics, I've saved likely...

Hi, New to the thread with a unique problem.( i searched but found nothing on this) My 2004 9-5 aero automatic with 70K kms does not always start when the outside temperature is 26 C or higher(80 F) I love the car but this problem is driving me (my wife) crazy. We have put in a new battery...
