Remote Control, Programming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Saab 9-5. 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.
On delivery of the car, 2 ready-programmed remote control units are supplied. 2 further remote controls (total 4) can also be obtained with the car. They are programmed using the diagnostic tool.
The number of programmed remote controls can be controlled by pressing the TAILGATE button on the remote control when the ignition switch in the ON position. The SID will normally display 2 REMOTE KEY for 5 seconds. The number of key transponders is also shown, e.g. 2 TRANSPDR.
