Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Key

In this video tutorial, learn how to pair the key on the Saab 9-3 if you have replaced it with a new one. In the initial stages of the video, we will see the replacement of the key shell and battery; then we will reach the point of pairing our new key to the vehicle. Therefore, by extracting the mechanical key, manually open the vehicle as shown in the video; then reinsert the key into the remote and insert it into the ignition barrel, turning it to the "on" position. At this point, switch off and remove the key, ensuring it has been paired!
