Replacement Keys

All Saab cars come with two keys when they are brand new. However, if you've lost one, or just want to make an additional key, we can assist with that too. We offer a quick and affordable replacement of keys to cars on any Saab model. Our rates start at $120, which is a lot lower than what the dealership charges.

Our technicians can easily add another Saab Key to the vehicle. Our locksmiths can reprogram the immobilizer so that it will accept the new key. This is a crucial step since Saab's anti theft system will prevent the car from being started when it detects a non-authorized key in the ignition. If you don't have the correct program, your car will not start and it will not be able to open the doors.

If you have only one key that functions this process is a bit more complex. It involves the dealer service technician replacing the computer module (called a CIM or Twice unit) and then having the key programmed to it. It could take a couple of days, but is usually less expensive than the price of the dealer.

If you lose all keys, you will need a replacement fob and an additional key for your door lock for the driver. The key fob will have the unique code for the key, which means a specialist can program it to work with your car. We can also RE-PROGRAM your car's EEPROM to accept a new key without having to change the computer. This is a great alternative to the dealer's expense, which could be as high as PS1000.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys that are a combination of "transmitter" and "responder" and are used to deter auto-theft by transmitting an unique radio signal to the immobilizer system of the car when inserted into the ignition. This signal is activated when keys are within the range of the vehicle and is unique to that vehicle. It also contains the microchip that contains a digital serial number, making it very difficult for thieves to duplicate your keys or use stolen keys.

The chips cannot be read by scanners, which is why you'll have to contact an locksmith to replace your transponder-key if you've lost it. The procedure of programming a transponder keys requires specialized tools that an typical locksmith does not have. In some cases, the chip must be replaced however this is more complex and time-consuming than simply creating a new key with the regular keyblade.

The advantage of a transponder is that it adds an additional layer of security. It also helps protect your vehicle from being stolen. This is because they are more difficult to duplicate than regular remote keys, and can only be copied using scanners that are specifically designed for working with this kind of key. Furthermore, they integrate with the majority of car immobilizers, which can make it impossible for a thief to wire the vehicle and then drive away.

Keyless Entry Remotes

Many vehicles have keyless entry systems, which allow drivers to unlock their vehicle without having to insert a car key. Typically, this is done by using a door-mounted keyboard, a key fob (or "keychain remote"), or a wirelessly-enabled handheld computer device that is able to communicate with the car's systems. These devices can also be used to lock and unlock the vehicle and turn on the ignition, or switch on the car's lights.

Keyless entry relies on the transmitter in the fob communicating with the receiver in the vehicle by way of a unique code. As a result, it is crucial to have your fob programmed if you get new keys made or you need to replace a battery in your current fob, or lose your fob key.

It's important to be careful when buying a replacement key fob online, as some sellers will not require you for proof of ownership and could send you a wrong key or even a blank shell. You can avoid these issues by having your key fob reprogrammed by a certified automotive dealer or locksmith.

Car Key Replacement

Saab, a Swedish automaker, is well-known for its unique and sharp Scandinavian style. Their cars are well-made and unique, but they are susceptible to mechanical problems that can cause problems for owners. One example of this is a worn key fob, which can be expensive to replace at the dealer. However, there are some steps that owners can take to reduce the cost and time needed for replacing their keys.

First, owners should replace the battery on their fob. This is an easy and affordable procedure that anyone can undertake. The key fob contains an internal microprocessor which allows it to communicate with the vehicle and its battery will be damaged over time. A replacement battery will restore the functionality of your key fob and increase its lifespan by a number of years.

Another step that can be completed at home is to take out the battery and the electronics from the old key fob. This is a straightforward procedure that requires only the use of a small flathead driver. When making the key fob again, it is essential to place all the pieces back in their original positions. The immobilizer chip should be in the correct place otherwise the key will not function.

Last but not least, owners should purchase a spare key made by locksmiths. They will save money and have a backup key in the event that their car is stolen.
