Replacement Keys
All Saab cars come with two keys when they are brand new. We can also help when you've lost a key or need to replace it with another. We offer a quick and affordable replacement of keys for cars on any Saab model. Our prices start at $120, which is a lot lower than the dealership charges.
Our technicians can easily add a second Saab Key to the vehicle. Our locksmiths are able to change the immobilizer's programming so that it can accept the new key. This is an essential step because Saab utilizes an anti-theft device to prevent the vehicle from starting when it detects an unauthorised key in the ignition. The car won't turn on if it is not programmed correctly. It is also unable to unlock the doors.
If you only have one key that works it is a bit more difficult. It involves the dealer service technician replacing the computer module (called a CIM or Twice unit) and then having the key programmed to it. This will take several days, but it's generally cheaper than the price of the dealer.
If you lose all keys, you will require a replacement fob and an additional key for your door lock for the driver. The key fob will contain the unique code for the key, which means that a specialist can program it to your vehicle. We can also RE-PROGRAM your car's EEPROM to accept new keys without having to replace the computer. This is a great alternative to the dealer's charge, which can be as high as PS1000.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (which are composed of "transmitter" and "responder") are used to stop auto theft by transmitting a specific radio signal to the immobilizer of the car when they are inserted into ignition. The signal is activated when the key is within the range of the vehicle, and only works with the specific car. It also comes with an electronic serial code, making it very difficult for criminals or duplicates to steal your car keys.
These chips are designed to not be read by a scanner, which is why you'll have to visit an expert locksmith for transponder key replacement when you lose yours. The typical locksmith for cars does not have the equipment needed to program the transponder. In some cases the chip needs to be replaced as well, but this is more complex and time-consuming than simply making the new key using a standard keyblade.
The benefit of a transponder is that it adds an additional layer of security and can help to prevent your car from being stolen. This is due to the fact that they are more difficult to duplicate than regular remote keys, and can only be copied using scanners that are specifically designed in working with this type of key. In addition, they work with the majority of automobile immobilizer systems, which makes it difficult for thieves to connect a hot wire to the vehicle and then drive away.
Keyless Entry Remotes
Many cars come with keyless entry systems that allow owners to unlock their vehicle without the need to insert keys to the car. Typically, this is done using a door-mounted keypad, the key fob (or "keychain remote") or a wirelessly-enabled handheld computer device that communicates with the car's security system. These devices can also be used to lock and unlock the vehicle, turn on the ignition, or activate the vehicle's lighting.
The keyless entry system is based on the transmitter within the fob as well as the receiver inside the car to communicate using a special code that's unique to every vehicle. Due to this, it is essential to have your fob reprogrammed whenever you receive new keys or need to replace a battery in your fob, or lose your fob's key.
Be cautious when ordering a replacement for your key fob online as certain sellers won't ask you for proof of ownership, and they may send the wrong key or even an empty shell. You can avoid these issues by getting your key fob reprogrammed by a reputable locksmith for vehicles or dealer.
