What the job needs

- Online / server access: required — OBD tool subscription.
- On-board (no tool) sequence: not available — CIM IMMO requires OBD tool with Saab 9-3 II menu — no published on-board add key procedure for this CIM-controlled platform.
- On site: engine off · 12V battery support needed · Clear IMMO DTCs.
- Bring: Photo ID + vehicle registration.

Notes & cautions
- Blade split spans two profiles across this chassis generation: 2003-2007 and 2010-2011 = WT47T (4-track); 2008-2009 = HU100 (2-track). Verify year before ordering key blank.
- CIM (Column Integration Module) is the IMMO controller on this platform, not a separate BCM. Tool must navigate Saab CIM menu, not generic GM PK3+ menu.
- NA-market 9-3 II runs 433.92 MHz (confirmed esaabparts OES) — do NOT assume 315 MHz.
- Blade split by year: 2003-2007 and 2010-2011 = WT47T (4-track); 2008-2009 = HU100 (2-track). Verify year before ordering blank.
- CIM (Column Integration Module) is IMMO controller — AKL clears all CIM key registrations.
- AKL erases all registered keys — bring minimum 2 new LTQSAAM433TX key blanks.
Lockout
Door pick / decode: Lishi WT47T (CCW).
