We provide a quick and affordable replacement service for keys to cars of any Saab model. Our prices start at $120, which is considerably less than what the dealership charges.
Our technicians are able to add the second Saab Key to the vehicle. Our locksmiths can modify the immobilizer to ensure that it can accept the new key. This is an essential step because Saab's anti-theft system will stop the car from starting when it detects an unauthorised key in its ignition. If you don't have the correct programming, your car won't turn on and will be unable to unlock the doors.
If you have only one key that is working it is a bit more complicated. The technician at the dealer replaces the computer module that is in use, also known as a CIM unit or Twice unit, and then programs the key to it. It could take a few days, but it's typically cheaper than the price offered by the dealer.
If all keys are lost, you'll need a replacement key fob and an additional key for the driver's door lock. The key fob contains the unique code of the key, which means that an expert can program it to your vehicle. We can also REPROGRAM your car's EEPROM chip to make it accept a new, working key without having to replace the computer. This is a great alternative to the dealer costs that can be up to PS1000.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (which are a combination of the words "transmitter" and "responder") are used to stop auto theft by transmitting a specific radio signal to the immobilizer of the car when inserted into the ignition. The signal is activated when the key is within reach of the car and is unique to the vehicle. It also contains microchips that have a digital serial number, which makes it difficult for thieves to duplicate your keys or to use stolen keys.
The chips cannot be read by scanners, so you'll need to call a locksmith to replace your transponder keys if you've lost it. The typical locksmith for cars doesn't have the tools necessary to program a transponder. In some cases the chip might also need to be replaced, however this can be more time-consuming, and a lot more complicated than making a key using a standard blade.
TheKeyLab of a transponder key is that it adds an extra layer of security and can help protect your vehicle from being stolen. This is due to the fact that they are more difficult to copy than regular remote keys and can only be copied using an instrument that is specifically designed to work with this type of key. They also work with a majority of vehicles' immobilizers, which makes it difficult for thieves hot-wiring the vehicle to steal the vehicle.
Keyless Entry Remotes
Many cars come with keyless entry systems which permit the driver to unlock the car without having to insert a key. Typically, this is done using a door-mounted keypad, a key fob (or "keychain remote"), or a handheld computing device that is able to communicate with the vehicle's system. These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, turn off the ignition, and activate the lighting of the vehicle.
The keyless entry system relies on the transmitter in the fob and receiver in the car to exchange a special code that's unique to each vehicle. As a result, it is crucial to have your fob reprogrammed when you get new keys made, need to replace a battery in your existing fob or lose your key fob.
It is important to be cautious when buying a replacement key fob online because some sellers will not require you for proof of ownership and could ship the wrong key or even a blank shell. You can avoid these problems by getting your key fob reprogrammed by a reputable locksmith for vehicles or dealership.

Saab is a Swedish automobile manufacturer best known for their quirky and sharp Scandinavian design. Saab's cars are well-constructed and unique, but they are susceptible to mechanical problems that can cause problems for owners. One of these issues is a worn-out key fob, and it can be expensive to replace at the dealer. There are steps homeowners can take to cut down on costs and time required to replace their keys.
The first step is to replace the battery in their fob. Anyone can complete this task, which is simple and cost-effective.

A new battery can bring back functionality to the key fob, and could even prolong its life by several years.
Another step that is done at home is removing the battery and electronics from the old key fob. This is a simple process, and all it requires is a small screwdriver. When reassembling the key fob, it is essential to put all pieces back into their original positions. The immobilizer chip must be in the correct place otherwise the key will not function.
Last but not least, owners should purchase an extra key created by a locksmith. They'll save money and also have a spare key in case their car is stolen.
