Remote Control, Programming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The remote control for the car must be programmed (coded) for that particular car.
When the car is delivered, 2 already programmed remote controls are supplied. It is possible to have another 2 remote controls (4 in all) for the car. Programming is performed with the diagnostics instrument.
The number of pre-programmed remote controls can be checked by pressing the TAILGATE button on the remote control when the ignition key is in the ON position. SID will normally display 2 REMOTE KEY for 5 seconds. The number of key transponders is also displayed, e.g. 2 TRANSPDR.
