Replaced front and rear de-laminated badges with gleaming new ones, then received an email letting me know I can have the front fitted for free, (great, nice to know when I've just paid for replacements).
Then replaced fin antenna for a nice new one....
 Not to bad a job once you've got past the "look dear it really wont take to much longer" and "I know I said it would only take ten minutes but I keep getting bloody interrupted by someone asking how much longer I'll be" stage of things.
Looks a lot better now, although I'm not convinced that the new fin wont leak

I think receiver is located under the centre console, to the rear, behind the vents. DIY fix if competent.

The fault may not be with the key fob. Sounds like it could be the cars remote receiver starting to play up.

Second hand unit arrived today. Fitted to car and airbag light on dash has gone out, and system all working fine. Result. It seems that if the replacement needs to be from a vehicle of the same year and model. If not then it can be reprogramed using the Saab TIS software.

The guy I have looking at it was a Saab Tech for 15 years. He seems confident that a second hand unit is fine as long as the part code matches. At £40 its worth a go. Although I will post results just to clarify.

Thanks for the reply. All wiring checked and fine so everything is pointing to shot control module. So need to find a replacement >:(l

Have this warning come up on SiD. Started as a intermittent fault but now on all the time. Plugged in to Tech2, and the passenger seat belt is registering as being clicked in when its not. Multi plug under seat checked and all wires appear fine. Any ideas would be helpful.
