The good news is that most modern Saab automobiles can have an additional key that can be added to the system without having to replace the original computer inside the vehicle. The dealer will make use of a handheld computer called Tech-2 to program the second key into the vehicle. There are garages that may also be able to do this but the procedure is more complicated and they must reprogram the EEPROM of your car's computer so it will accept the new key.
