The cost of adding an additional key to a car at a dealer could be as low as PS1500 and can be as long as 10 days. Transponder key Transponder keys are keys for cars that include an electronic chip inside the key fob. The chips utilize radio signals to communicate with your vehicle's immobilizer. They are designed to deter theft by making it difficult for thieves to start the car. Transponder keys can be used to track the vehicle that was stolen. This is because the immobilizer will transmit the car's GPS once the key is inserted in it. Many new cars come with a transponder key which is a great anti-theft option. However, older models may not have them. You can still purchase a transponder from an auto dealer if your vehicle does not have one. The cost of a new transponder is typically cheaper than the traditional “blade” key. You can purchase keys via the internet or from an auto dealer.

Batteries in these remotes can end up dying over time. It is important to change them frequently and it's not a big task to do so. All you need is a small flathead screwdriver and a bit of patience. Insert the screwdriver into the slot that is in the middle of the case and then gently open it. Once the case is split open, you can access the electronic components within. The space-bar and shift key have a copper wire underneath that connects the pressure pad with the electronics. The wire on the keys can block the vehicle from being able to recognize it. The wire also serves to connect the key to the ignition, so make sure the wire is removed prior to replacing the key. Remote key The SAAB 9-3 03-11 is among the most beautiful vehicles available. However it can be difficult to operate. The key fob can be a bit fragile and the buttons can become stuck. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: replace the key case by yourself.

When removing the electronic components, it is important to remove them with care. They could easily get damaged.

In order to add a second one, you'll need a computer module (often known as the CIM), a new key, and specialized programming to convince the car you're not trying to steal it. Most locksmiths will not do this because it is too expensive. You can do it yourself, when you're resourceful and fortunate enough to find the right components at a reasonable price.

You'll require a screwdriver for this, so be sure you have one. After you have removed the emergency key, use a flathead to break the case. This will give you full access to the battery, so you can change it. Reassemble the keyfob once you have installed the new battery. Be sure to align the pieces correctly and remember to include the limiters, which hold the battery in place. When you're done, can insert the key into the ignition to resynchronize the car. It's now time to go! This is a great way to save money while keeping your vehicle safe. Make sure the battery you purchase is exactly the same as the original, and that it has a brand new, compatible label. The key won't function properly if the battery isn't the same type as the original.
