You will need a replacement key with a reprogrammable battery and a new key-fob case. Unlike older models, most modern Saab cars have a transponder on the key-fob rather than a physical metal key to unlock and start the car. The issue with this is that the reprogrammable battery in the key-fob will eventually wear out and lose charge for long. This is especially the case if you use the same key in the same lock. The good news is that it can be replaced fairly easily by an experienced locksmith. You can also do it yourself if you have the right tools and a bit of patience. The first step is separating the key-fob. This is done by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot located in the middle of the case. It is important to work slowly, since the plastic is very thin and can easily be damaged. After the case has been opened and the case is opened, you can make the new key by combining the lower half of the key that was used previously with the transponder and banana on the new key.
