Service scenarios
Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't. Save yourself time and shipping cost before ordering.
This service fixes:
- ✓All Saab keys lost — need a fresh key
- ✓Replacement CIM module needs to be virginized + paired
- ✓Add a spare key (CIM removal still required for security)
- ✓Existing key no longer recognized
This service won't fix:
- ✗Pre-2003 Saab models (no CIM module)
- ✗Mechanical ignition lock failure (we program electronics, not mechanicals)
- ✗TWICE module faults on older 9-5 (different system)
Shipping Instructions
These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.
You pay shipping to us. We cover return shipping back to you. Most CIM modules pop out with the steering wheel down and a few screws — call us first if you are unsure.
