Key fob only works panic button on my 05 saab 9-3t no door or trunk lock and key wont turn ignition after battery disconnect please help

Try this and please let me know it it works for you. A pro mechanic told me a week ago that I am talking rubbish, but I got this FROM a pro mechanic and it has worked for many members here.
Resetting a Vehicle Anti-Theft System after Battery Disconnect
This is how you reset an anti theft system if you have the anti-theft light on, or your car is cranking, but you have no spark.

Doing a full reset of the anti-theft system.

Disconnect both battery leads for at least two hours.
Hold the negative and positive leads together for 5 minutes to fully discharge any residual power in capacitors.
Put the key in the ignition, but not turned on or Fob close to steering wheel. VERY IMPORTANT!
Connect the positive lead.
Connect the negative lead in one swift movement.
Wait 15 minutes for the system to fully reset.

How to get check engine light off on a 1995 Saab 900S?

Pull the battery cables off and let them sit off for about 30secs. If the code comes back on after the battery is disconnected than that means you have a hard code and will have to have the car scanned and reset. There are two kinds of codes, hard and soft, hard codes need to be scanned and reset soft codes are simple issues that by disconnecting the battery the codes will go away.

When I switch on the radio?cd player in my Saab 900 the screen says "Code 1". What do I do to fix this ?

could be the anti-theft device in the radio. it requires you to put the 4 digit code in to "unlock" the radio for use. This number should have been given to you by the seller -otherwise can be obtained by a previous SAAB dealer. This can happen when the battery is disconnected for a period of time

Check all battery connections, the ground stap from motor to body connection, battery ground to motor and body and battery to starter connections. It could be bad starter also

Code -ECM

I see - I guess I didn't quite follow what you said. I have a friend at work who is a "Saab guy" and I'll ask him for you how to do this. Soon as we talk, I'll post up the information if he can give it to me.

Codes

What you probably have to do is enter a security code to unlock the radio - it's an anti-theft idea done by Saab, that Audi and BMW and others also do, to try and make it harder to re-sell stolen radios.

Go to the dealer with photo ID, the title to the car, and your registration - that way you prove who you are and that you own the car, and they can look up the code for you. They may charge you up to an hour's labor for this. Make sure they give you the code though, and don't just have a technician put it in. If you don't get the code from them, you'll have to pay them the next time too.

I have had this problem more than a few times. First you need to connect the negative cable last and when you do, try to connect it fast. For some reason if the connection sparks it doesn't seem to work that well. Second when you do connect it, go right into the vehicle and put the ignition key to the on position. Press the power button and the Code In should appear.
I don't know if you have the CD changer in the back although I have had problems with that too: Sometimes It dose not work properly after a reconnection. What I have done is unplug the CD changer cord from the changer until it works. For some reason its a pain in the ****, but if you keep at it it should turn on. Just remember that you have to have the radio on when your doing it.
