The process is as follows...
1) buy cut/used key/fob on ebay - this is actually a two piece item consisting of the metal key blade and the fob chip.
2) take used key to dealer and have new "key" cut (ships from Saab) inform them that you already have the fob part.
3) when the new key arrives they snap the old "key" out of the old fob, snap the new cut key into the fob and program the fob to the car.
the idea is to get the used fob (buttons/chip) on ebay and not have to order a new one from the dealer for $200.
They will still charge you an arm and a leg for the key though; if they are particularly nasty they will charge you $30 to press four keys on a keyboard to retreive your "key code" using your vin # (this is necessary to program the new fob)....
