There's an antenna for the transponder receiver built into the key surround on the 9-5, it could have had a knock or be faulty.

On the 9-5 if the transponder stops working and you get a key not accepted message then you can override it by pushing the unlock button on the key remote with the ignition turned to on and it should let you start the car.

3what is fob to p ress 5 times what is the fob

Key fob is the Smart Key with 3 buttons and no external key for 9-3 from 2003 on.

It does have a blade-type key inside to use to open door in case of remote - central locking system not working.

My immobilizer does not recognise my key fob

Put key in ignition.
Press unlock button on key fob.
Immobilizer should now recognize it, if it was original fob but car or fob battery was changed or is now low.

Saabs are particular about batteries that are otherwise good, but just below 12 volts.

How to bypass the anti theft system 2003 saab 9-3

Not easy. Are all the key fobs giving you the same problem?

If so, they are not be recognized by the Immobilizer. Either need to be paired again (GM dealers have the tool but charge a lot, shop around) or you need new immobilizer and paired key fobs.
