Hi,I need to reset my saab key since my husband replaced the battery. Can I reset the key myself? I'd like to reset my saab key myself.

Just to add to this one you can try standing next to the car and holding down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for at least 5 seconds or more and see if the horn honks if it does it reset. Let me know what happens. You may need to do this more than once.

This can can help as well
