Add keys

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before "Add" keys:

Figure 20: CIM, ECM and three keys with a common master key code, illustrated in green. Two of the keys are new and therefore do not have the master key code but all of the keys have different individual key codes.

During "Add" keys:

All keys that shall be used must be on hand when programming starts. The first key programmed must  be one of the keys that "belongs" to the CIM that was fitted.

After "Add" keys:

Figure 21: The illustration shows the same CIM, ECM and keys as in  Fig 1 . The two new keys are now programmed with the same master key code.
