The Remote Key Fob Replacement for Saab models 9-3 and 9-5, spanning production years from 2003 to 2011, has garnered a mixed reception among users, though the overall sentiment leans positive. Customers, particularly those with technical backgrounds, such as automotive technicians, have found the fob to function reliably once the necessary programming is completed. The ease of programming, assuming the user has access to the required diagnostic tools—a GM Tech 2 scan tool with Saab security software—and at least one existing key, has been highlighted as a significant advantage. However, the product isn't without its challenges. Some users encountered difficulties, particularly those who were unable to use the fob through a programmer due to prior programming issues, indicating the need for awareness that this isn't a plug-and-play solution. In addition, users have reported discrepancies in battery specifications—which initially hindered functionality before users replaced the battery with the correct type—and issues with the laser cutting process, which necessitates a visit to a locksmith. Despite these operational hurdles, many Saab enthusiasts appreciate the cost-effectiveness of the replacement fob compared to purchasing an original part, even if it comes with a caveat of requiring extra effort for proper function. The overall recommendation seems to be that if you have the proper tools and at least one functioning original key, the key fob serves as a great backup solution that performs well. **
