Key Replacement

All Saab cars come with two keys when they are brand new. However, if you have lost one or if you simply want to get an extra key, we can help with that too. We offer a quick and cost-effective service to replace keys for cars on any Saab model. Our prices start at $120, which is a lot lower than the dealership charges.

Making an additional Saab key to a vehicle is an easy job for our technicians. Our locksmiths can reprogram the immobilizer to accept the new key. This is a must step, since Saab has an anti-theft system to stop the vehicle from starting when it detects a different key in the ignition. If you don't have the correct program, your car will not start and will be unable to unlock the doors.

If you only have one key that works the procedure is a bit more difficult. It involves an expert from the dealer service department replacing the computer module (called a CIM or Twice unit) and then programming the key to it. It could take a couple of days, however, it is typically cheaper than the dealer's price.

If all keys are lost, you'll require an alternative key fob as well as an additional key for the door's driver's lock. The key fob will include the key's unique code so a specialist could program it to work with your car. We can also re-program your existing car computer EEPROM to accept an additional key without having to change the computer itself. This is an excellent alternative to the dealer's cost that can range from PS1000 to PS1000.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are a mix of "transmitter" & "responder" and are used to prevent theft by sending a unique radio signal to the immobilizer system of the vehicle when inserted in the ignition. This signal is activated only when the key is within reach of the car and is unique to that vehicle. It also has the chip with a digital serial number, making it very difficult for thieves or duplicates to access the keys to your car.

These chips are designed so that they can't be read by a scanner and that's why you'll need an expert locksmith for replacement of the transponder key when you lose yours. The process of programming a transponder key requires special tools that an typical locksmith does not have. In some instances the chip needs to be replaced as well, but this is more complicated and time-consuming than simply making a new key with a regular keyblade.

Transponder keys can be an extra layer to security and protect your vehicle 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 with scanners that are specifically designed in working with this kind of key. Additionally, they are compatible with the majority of automobile immobilizers, which can make it difficult for a burglar to hot wire the vehicle and drive away.

Keyless Entry Remotes

Many cars today come with keyless entry systems which allow drivers to unlock the car without having to insert a key. Typically, this is accomplished with a door-mounted keypad the key fob (or "keychain remote") or a wirelessly-enabled handheld computer device that connects to the car's security system. These devices can be used to lock or unlock the car, switch on the ignition, and turn on the lighting of the vehicle.

The keyless entry system depends on the transmitter inside the fob and receiver in the car to transmit a specific code that is unique to every vehicle. The Keylab is essential to have your fob reprogrammed if you require new keys, need to replace the battery on the current fob, or if you have lost your fob's key.

It's important to be careful when purchasing a replacement key fob online as some sellers won't ask you for proof of ownership and could send the wrong key or even a blank shell. You can avoid these issues by having your key fob reprogrammed by a reputable locksmith for vehicles or dealer.

Car Key Replacement

Saab, a Swedish automaker, is known for its unique and sharp Scandinavian style. Their cars are well-made and unique, but they are prone to mechanical problems that can cause problems for owners. One example of this is a worn-out key fob, which can be expensive to replace at the dealer. However, there are actions that homeowners can take to cut down on the expense and time required for replacing their keys.

The first step is to replace the battery on their fob. Anyone can do this simple and inexpensive task. The key fob contains an embedded microprocessor that enables it to communicate with the vehicle, and its battery can be damaged over time. A replacement battery can restore functionality to the key fob and could even prolong its life by just a few years.

You can do this at home. Remove the battery and electronics from the keyfob that was previously used. This is a very simple procedure that only requires the use of a small flathead driver. When rebuilding the key fob, it is crucial to put all the pieces back in their original position. The immobilizer chip needs to be in the proper position or else the key will not work.

Then, the owners should purchase an additional key made by a locksmith. They will save money and have a backup key in case their car is stolen.
