SAAB – 9-3, 9-5 | Remote Case & Blade (VX5 Blade, big head) is a replacement key part designed specifically for certain SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 models. This remote case and blade assembly serves as the outer housing and mechanical key blade unit for your vehicle’s remote key, which is crucial for locking, unlocking, and starting the car when integrated with the vehicle’s immobilizer system.

The component’s design includes the VX5 blade type with a larger head, which can be important for compatibility with specific SAAB key systems. When considering this part, it is essential to compare the shape and head size of your old key blade to ensure this VX5 style matches your vehicle’s remote key needs.

Matching the SKU BB-290238 and verifying the key blade type on your existing remote ensures you select the correct replacement.

Helpful product answers
Is this remote case and blade compatible with all SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 models?

Can I replace just the blade or the remote case separately?

After fitting the new remote case and blade, you may need to visit an authorised locksmith or SAAB dealership to have the remote programmed to your vehicle. Our Trade Partners can guide you on local programming options.
