TWICE unit key programming
Replacement keys and transponders programmed to your TWICE module and returned by post.
Send the TWICE unit from the car you wish to start.
TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics) is beneath the left-hand front seat on suitable older Saab models. We programme original or compatible replacement transponders to the original TWICE unit from the car you wish to start and return the matched keys and unit ready to refit.
We can also cut a key to a supplied key code or suitable lock sent with the module.
This applies where we have the original TWICE unit from the car you wish to start and have made the matched keys or transponders to it.
TWICE removal information
The TWICE module is located under the carpet, beneath the left-hand front seat, and can be accessed from the rear of the seat. Access varies with model and equipment. These are general reference steps for a competent technician; follow the exact Saab workshop instructions for your car.
- Prepare the vehicle using the Saab safety procedure for seats, electrics and SRS. Remove the seat mounting fasteners and, where necessary, the seat, safely managing its electrical connectors.
- Release the left-hand door sill trim and lift the carpet around the seat mounting area, taking care of wiring and trim.
- Where fitted, remove the fastener from the ventilation duct and lift the duct sufficiently to access the TWICE mounting points.
- Release the TWICE mounting fasteners and unlock the wiring connector. Lift out the module without pulling on its wiring.
- Protect the module from impact, static discharge and moisture. Post it to our address with your return address and telephone number so we can contact you for payment.

Seat-mounted side airbags, pretensioners, seat-memory wiring and other electronics may be present. Incorrect seat removal or electrical disconnection may cause serious injury or damage. Follow Saab's model-specific instructions, disconnect the battery as directed, and allow at least 30 minutes before working around SRS components. Never probe or short airbag connectors. Waiting alone does not make an unsafe procedure safe. Have a qualified technician remove the unit if unsure. SAABKEYS cannot accept responsibility for incorrect removal or handling.
