This is a Contemporary, Complicated and Very Well Documented Multi-Part Video about defeating the infamous Saab 9-3 Ignition Key Immobilizer vs. The Permanent Push-Button Starter Solution that is only One Day Old as of Saturday, February 1st, 2025.
By using a Tech 2 Program via the VXDIAG NANO Device in order to read the BXXX Error Code(s), the familiar VOP (Video Original Poster) takes actions to side-step these Saab Security Anti-Theft Fun House using Ivan’s “Neo's Matrix Moves with Spock's Vulcan Nerve Pinch” via his work using the Tech 2 Emulator and Printed Out Diagrams for his Security Circuit De-Bunking.
Follow “Crazy Ivan” (The Man From PHAD) Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics while traveling "Straight through “Falken’s Maze” in order to build this Permanent Solution into a Beautiful 2004 Saab 9-3 Turbo as a Daily Driver Beater (as an otherwise Excellent Vehicle) prepared for a College Bound Kid as a Gift from his Dad:
Part 1:
"Open The POD BAY DOORS, Please HAL..."
"I'm Sorry Dave...I'm Afraid Can't DO THAT..."
"Alright HAL.. I'll go in through the Emergency AIR-Lock..."
"Without Your Space Helmet, Dave...and Your Saab Key"
You're Going to Find That Rather Difficult..."
'"Yeah... Big Boy...BUT I HAVE A "GYMKO" TECH 2..." :>)
Part 2: Tech 2 Heavy Lifting Stuff...
PS… Besides knowing that the hidden PW was probably “Joshua”… Ivan may have needed the “Saab” Specific PCMCIA Tech 2 SW Program Module as well in order to accomplish this task. More reasons for SAAB 9-3 Owners to Come and Join us ALL ...Right HERE ...at GMT Nation!

This is "One Hum (mer) Dinger" (Pun Much Intended) of a Tech 2 Owner's Performance Overview... (Nice Looking Hummer, Dude...)
PS... Jesus Palomino, Guys... I should have mentioned this YEARS Ago!
The Chinese Assembly Workers who put the Tech 2 Kits together will --=NEVER=-- GET TO use the Tech 2s... EVER... So they have NO IDEA just how uncomfortable these Grips can be WHEN THEY INSTALLED THEM BACK-ASSWARDS AT THE FACTORY... With the Velcro Hooks Side ripping at the outside of the holding hand...
Taken as a Snap-Shot from the above Video...
The SOFT Leatherette Sides of these Straps belong on the INSIDE... so just Un-Stick the Straps and invert them and you will find they are MUCH EZR to Adjust with the Short Strap Segments on the OUTSIDE and ever so much more comfortable on the INSIDES. :>)
