Remote Control, Audio - Stereo

Remote Control:

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.







Function
Point the remote control towards the car. When a button is pressed, the remote control sends a control signal which is received by the remote control receiver unit. The range is approx. 8 meters.
The signal from the remote control is a fixed identification code (each remote control has its own code) and a "rolling code" which changed each time a button is pressed.

Control buttons on the remote control
LOCK Used to lock the car with the central locking and arm the anti-theft alarm.
UNLOCK Used to unlock the car with the central locking and disarm the anti-theft alarm.
BOOT Used to unlock the luggage compartment only and LID/TAILGATE disarm the tailgate.

Transport
The remote control does not function when the car is being transported.

Security
The number of codes received per second which are sent by the remote control is limited to 10 to prevent code grabbing.
