    With chinese tech2s available and various very sketchy garages working on SAABs since some "official" SAAB garage may not be found nowhere nearby, this is a very good information. Check it after every work done on the car. It also works with the old generation of 93 and 95.

If the computer does not have a serial port you have to get a suitable serial to USB adapter. Good info here www.tech2wiki.com/doku.php

    Hi Cyd, I’ll need to buy 2 extra complete keys but the blades keys that comes along with the fob are most of the times with bad design so the handle leaves a gap between the fob and the blade when assembled plus a bit o play so the blade jiggles when you shake the fob, and they’re made of hard plastic, not rubber coated as my keys. Do you know where I can source the oem fob with good rubber handle blade keys ? The rubber of my blades is starting to deteriorate and I’d like to replace them. Thank you

    Hi Cyclone, FYI, regarding the heat protection of the ECU. A kit is supplied here in Aus that does the job well, (and has some vibration protection too) I had it fitted to my 2006 by John at JB Prestige in Melbourne. Seems a good product. I found another Saab-ie has posted about it, and I attach the link.
