Remote Control, Audio - Stereo

All Saab 9-3 with anti-theft alarm fitted from the factory are equipped with remote control. On delivery, 2 remote controls are supplied with each car. It is used to operate the central locking system, as back-up for immobilization and for arming/disarming of the anti-theft alarm.

When retrofitting an anti-theft alarm, another 2 remote controls are needed. Remote control can also be retrofitted on cars without anti-theft alarm.

There are three models of remote control with different frequencies and ranges.

The remote control is also available integrated in the key. However, only variants with a separate key are shown in this technical description.

The signal from the remote control is a fixed identification code (each remote control has its own code) and a "rolling code which is changed each time a button is pressed.
