Yes so ive read. Ill be ordering a used one. Are all 03-10 cims and keys compatible or do I need one from an 07?
For the CIM , I think it goes 03-04 and then 05+. Keys, as long as theyre blank , work with any year. But to start just get a used cim with a matching key .

like this would be perfect, from an 07 too..

Hey all, long time Saab owner here and need some Tech II help in AZ. Northern AZ to be exact. 2005 9-3 Aero has put me through the wringer with cim issue! Sent message to fellow in Phoenix so will see. In the meantime without reading 50 pages of Tech II clone post where would be the most reliable place to buy a clone? I would like to have one so can help others if they need it. Thanks all

I sent you a msg back with my phone number

hey guys, I am in Bay Area California (south bay), and need some help re-programming an ECU, ok to pay...

I have a 2005 9-3 Arc convertible. The ECU died and I've bought a used one with the same serie number on ebay from a trusted seller. The car runs, but the engine light come up (knock sensor is not detected). I won't pass the smog test with that. The ebay seller said it needs to be programmed to fit my car model... but my current mechanic says he doesn't have the software/tool to do that.

If anyone have the tools, knowledge and willing to do it, please let me know. (I cannot send DM yet).
if it already been married it needs to be SPSd.
