Prior to the invention of the keyless remote transmitter, one unlocked car doors with a key. As of 2010, most automakers equip their vehicles with keyless remote systems to lock or unlock doors. Some remotes have a panic button, that when pressed blows the horn intermittently. Some remotes even feature a remote starting button. That feature allows you to start your vehicle while you are in another location. Since remotes are programmed to a particular vehicle, replacement remotes must be programmed also. Certain makes of vehicles allow the owner to accomplish this.

2. Turn the key from the "Lock" to the "Run" position and leave it there at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds. Turn the key to the "LOCK" position and take it from the ignition switch.
3. Insert the second previously coded key into the ignition switch within ten seconds of removing the first one. Turn the key from the "Lock" to the "Run" position and leave it there at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds. Turn the key to the "Lock" position and take it from the ignition switch.

Saab Remote Transmitter
6. Locate the remote transmitter code, which is labeled on the package the transmitter came in or on the circuit board inside the transmitter. To open the transmitter to get the code, insert the edge of a coin in the slot at the bottom of the transmitter and twist it to separate the two halves. Retrieve the code and press the two halves back together.
7. Close all doors and lift gate. Open the driver's door. Sit in the driver's seat and close the door firmly. Within 45 seconds, open and close the driver's door, then insert the key into the ignition and cycle it from the "Off" position to the "On" position ten times within 15 seconds. Listen for the electronic tone, which lasts 30 seconds and informs you that the programming mode has started.
8. Open and close the driver's door within 15 seconds of hearing the confirmation tone. Press the lock button on the transmitter the same number of times as the first digit in the code. Do this while the confirmation tone is still sounding. Push the unlock button on the transmitter within five seconds after entering the first digit. Listen for the electronic tone again.
9. Enter the remaining digits in the transmitter code in the same fashion. Enter all digit's a second time, as a confirmation, when the electronic tone sounds again.
10. Listen for an electronic tone lasting one second after entering the transmitter code digits two times. This indicates the transmitter has been programmed successfully.
