The Tool EVERY Saab Enthusiast Should Own! 

I think a MUST for every Saab owner as Saabs are getting old no one wants to service them. Cheap way to drive a great car PROVIDED you can service it yourself.

Great video, very helpful to me as just purchased tech 2 myself. To me a new user of tech 2 everything seamed very daunting. After watching your vid, lots of stuff explained clearly. Thanks, vinny.

Very well done video. I watched the whole thing and don't even have any cars that work with Tech 2. Thanks!

You've explained better than the pros, excellent video well worth watching start to finish

You are my hero, just got the Tech 2 yesterday

special place in the world for people like you! THANK YOU x1000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!

Just picked one of these up myself. Thank you for the informative video! I have a lot to learn

Great information, thanks! I have a Saab, dealing with getting replacement key fobs, Gawd, what a pain, & expensive!

I really appreciate your comments about not getting TIS2000 to work with security access. I have have tried and tried to get it working as well. Based on your advice I'm going to take a shot at GlobalTIS instead. Thanks.

I agree that its essential for any enthusiast. Setting up GlobalTIS can be a little tricky bu there's plenty of help on line, Ive got it setup on an old DELL laptop that has a hardware RS232 port. The main limitation is that it must be a 32 bit windows OS, I used Windows 7 32 bit & and it works a treat as it has better USB and Adobe support. So far I have changed locking options, re-calibrated the spedo for alternative tyre size, reset service interval.

I've been on the fence about buying one of these for about a year now. Cracked software worries me, as does counterfeit electronics from China. I've tried two brands of scanners that claimed to access all Saab systems (ECU, ABS, SRS, etc.)--iCarsoft V200 V2.0 and LAUNCH CR629. Neither lived up to its promise. I can see myself making use of a clone Tech2 owning three Saabs from 1995 - 2001. I just need a confidence boost.

Thank you for this informative video!

very educative video. Thank you. How about SPS for ECU programming, will I need to purchase a subscription?

Thanks for a clear and easy to understand video. I am setting my laptop up now, which is also a Dell 1520 I got from a local computer shop with Win XP SP3 loaded. I downloaded the Foxit Phantom PDF to my other laptop and loaded it on a USB stick. When I installed it onto the Dell, I got "Printer installation failed, please check the print service." Did you see that error, and do you have any advice where to look to fix that? I am very rusty on XP. Thanks.

Good vid, have 8 GM based cars so the 2007++ saabs are the pain to do with the PC like he said.

Liked your video.. I'm checking SAAB videos out just now as I'm not long out my SAAB and while I was on the motorway 20 mins ago I lost all power from my Turbo.. I've actually had this problem before on another SAAB 93. I'm now on my 4th SAAB and can't recommend the SAAB highly enough. Just as well I've got a Hayabusa to get play on until I either fix the SAAB or bite the Bullet and go out and buy a SAAB 95 as I haven't owned one yet.. Think I'm going to look into buying one of those diagnostic gadget.. Great video. And being a SAAB enthusiast you had my respect immediately bro... All the best for 2020

I ordered this from the website you linked, hopefully this is legit and not a scam site! Been needing one of these bad

Gonna find my self a Tech " ;) Great Video.

No need for connecting the cig-power connector if you use ODB2-connector, it powers the tech2, the cigcable is only there if you use some of the other connectors that do not have power in them. Also, 9-3 need security access for nearly everything as you say, but 9-5 only needs it for very few things, like programming keys and swap "big" things like instrument gauge cluster (if I remember correctly, it was years since I did that). A nice thing is that the tech2 can have two different program cards in it at same time and then you can shift between them using the shift button, in mine I have one card for 9-5/9-3, and one for 900/9000, very handy.. I also have a opel card laying around that I can put in if needed.

Awesome to see another YSU penguin!!

what a treat! thanks mate :D

Excellent info video.

Hi! The link for tis200 and globaltis no longer works. Do you have a updated/new one that would work?

What did you mean by connectivity problems for the serial port? As in connecting to the serial port adapter? If so do you have any links for replacement serial port connectors?

Just finished watching Ivan from South Main Auto diagnosis trying to fix a 2006 Saab 9-3 and had to run Tech2Win and run all kind of outdated software for it to work, like Java 6.

I have lost key, only one I had to my 03. Saab 9-3.. can you help me ? Ive seen places that say i can send the cim to them and they program keys to it send it back and you don't need to do anymore programming . It's very expensive... Let me know any thoughts..

Hello! Can tis Global be used on NootBook without Tec2? I have the Software installed and want to use with PassThru?

Great video ... I’m ordering my Tech2 .. my Saab 93 turbo just stated to act really crazy.. shutting off at reds lights .. my husband is a mechanic so he usually figures out the problem but his scanner only diagnosis’s .. now I need to pull the big guns out ... also I have an OEM navigation Radio for over a year that I pulled out of a car at the junkyard looks brand new but can’t unlock

Hey ty to posting your videos question i have 2008 93 2lt i have a ECU with the same # i can swap with out security access

Can this clone or the original do key programming?

Any advice for trying to get security access for a 2011? Friend with a tech2 has zero issues for 03-10 but was unable to do anything for my 2011 93 besides read codes.

My Saab’s a 2004 93. How far could I get without security access?

Thanks for good video!!!

I GOT MINES!!!!!!!!!!! OH YES, IT'S A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!

Hey great video and great info is there a updated link as I can't find any to get tis or global anywhere so I can get security access Cheers rich

Hello, Kindly explain the difference between tis2000 software and the tis2000 dongle. Please, I really don't understand this

Wish I saw this when the video was published, can no longer get the Tech 2 clone, are there other similar quality ones?

Do you have any experience with the vcx "cards" that simulate tech 2 over wifi or plugin to PC? I have seen some reviews, but they don't really seem very knowledgeable, and aren't trying to use them with saabs

Do you need security codes and a Candi for a 2006 9.3 2.0 convertible? My 'Gearbox malfunction/ Limited Performance' came on after car died/shut off at a stop sign. Finally turned over and made it home. My mechanic shop only has a Snap-On Scanner, not specific for Saab codes. I have an Apple/ Mac laptop

Thank you for the video. Very easy to understand. I have a Cadillac BLS 2.0 litre Turbo 2008 model? Will this work as same as the SAAB 93.

Great info

It is my understanding that the 9-5 until 2010 does not need security clearance or a computer(just the tech II). Is this not the case? This would only be for the 9-5, not the 9-3.

Can this program/flash the crankshaft position variation learn???

Can you just buy an ethernet to usb or do you need the serial adapter?

Need ur help....I have no turnsignals no hazards.2005 93 arc vert ..any ideals. Switch. Dice. Fuse..relay

Hi great video any chance you could show how to reset hid headlight mine have gone a bit stupid got one light aimed high and the other low.

Is this on the 9-5 too? Do you have to have the security for them too?

Hello! Thank you for the video. Do you know if this Tech2 clone can have security access to multiple vehicles? Or is one Tech2 clone for one car? I'm trying to do a CIM swap from an '05 9-3 Linear to an '05 9-3 Aero. I used this Tech2 clone (bought it from the link you put in the description) and GlobalTIS to get "security access type 1" for the Aero. I was then able to use the Tech2 clone to remove the Aero's defective CIM (all messages were ok and successful). Then I connected Tech2 to the '05 Linear, tried to remove its CIM, it told me to get security access. I went to the PC, got security access type1 from GlobalTIS, went back to the '05 Linear, and it told me to go get security access AGAIN. I tested that the Tech2 clone remembers the Aero and doesn't ask for security access again after i disconnect from/reconnect to the Aero. But even though GlobalTIS grants security access for additional vehicles (and VIN is correct for each vehicle), the Tech2 clone isn't able to reprogram any other car I tried (i.e. I could not remove the CIM from the '05 9-3 Linear and an '04 9-3 Linear). I also got security access type 1 from TIS 2000 for the '04 Linear, reconnected Tech2 to the '04 Linear, and Tech2 again sent me back to TIS 2000. I know that in all cases the vehicle VIN numbers shown by TIS software were correct. Since the Aero was the first car I used the granted security access on and I had no luck with the subsequent vehicles, all this leads me to believe that my Tech2 clone will only reprogram the first car it gets security access for. Am I missing something? Can I use the same Tech2 clone to remove/add CIMs on multiple SAABs?

So just to clarify will this program a SAAB 93 key fob from original

Hola, puedes explicar cómo utilizar el Keygen para que el global tía funcione?

hallo very good . what about saab after 2013 .. how can we programing ..pleaaaaaas

by any chance can you make a video explaining how to install global TIS im having trouble its so confusing filling out the form and inserting the keygen

Like your videos. I'm debating getting a clone to program a key for my Turbo X that only came with a single FOB. Do you recommend getting one? Did you overcome your security issues?

Hi i see your YSU shirt- im from Y town. Im retired ( in Boardman) just bought a 2002 9/3 se convertible. I want to learn somethings about Tech 2. Are you available to connect outside of U Tube? Thanks

do I need security access every time I use the tech 2 on my car or, once I have security access stored to my VIN am I good to go when I want to use it.

Can he program a memory of saab 93 2.2 tid 2004??

Any advice on getting security access? I can’t get the security key to show up on tis2000 ? I’m having a heck of a time with this! Thank you so much! How did you get Global tis to work?

hello,can you restore files from the google drive bin?Please

Just watched your video, and it's very informative, the questions I have are, why not to use the software that came with your cloned tech2?, mine came with everything including the USB, my only problem was finding an old laptop, I have one with windows 7 home premium, 3gb, 36-bit operating system, can I get the software downloaded on this laptop?

Can i change the driveaway aspect with tech 2..i have s used saab and i have been told its setup for the owner b4 me...i drive away and it cuts out is this an anti theft setting how csn i change this please thsnks

Does the T2 retain the security access once you shut it off and disconnect from the car? I got security access just like you did and on a subsequent hook-up to the car it asked me to get security clearance again???

Just got given a 2006 9-3 with 66k miles, runs and drives great but a few things aren’t right. The spare key won’t start the car (turn ignition) but central locking works from the key?, the infotainment system is blank which is causing a good few issues like no noise for indicators, reverse sensors etc. Would really like to get it sorted with car prices the way they are, be a real shame even to entertain scrapping it.

I need your help I'm stuck at please select the device I'm getting error occurred please help thanks

Estoy en cdmx donde puedo conseguir una computadora para saab 93 2006 2lts turbo! Gracias!

Hello, does anyone have a link to working and verified Tech2? I’m preety scared of ebay or aliexpress clones. Thanks saabist!

Did you get a Tech2 error code of M3148 and E3147 : Security access not possible in TIS 2000??? and thats was why used the Global one? My USB to serial converter work fine out of the box and spare one didnt work.. also the Ethernet cable was bad in the kit.

Thanks for posting. I want to purchase one and one of my main reasons is to turn OFF the damn doors locking when i drive off. it is so annoying pulling up not able to open the doors when dropping off someone or getting out to unhook my trailer etc or open the garage door or anything. UGh... I do not think it is safe if I have an accident to have locked doors my kids cannot get out the car. plus I have 3 saabs and want to do a ton of stuff so this would be useful. I think i have an old xp laptop with a serial port in the loft from 14 years a go will go looking. Thanks again.

Do you have any experience with the Tech2Win setup? I've heard it is a good alternative to the Tech2 setup.

You ain't lying..

For your TIS 200 you will need to copy paste something for it to work

A question on the power supply AC to 12 volt. "What is the amps it puts out or mA output?" and thanks for your "you tube" info its great

Hi I've got a saab 9-3 tiid 2008 auto need of some advice, I'm hoping that someone as had this same problem before so can pin point exactly what i gotta do. So basically i parked my car up turned the ignition off and steering wheel lock malfunction came up on dashboard, the key will not turn to the on position in the barrel now and the steering wheel is locked, the key fob will not do anything when i press it either 😢 tried disconnecting the car battery and changed the fuses still nothing. Had battery tested and it's carrying enough volts. If anyone could shed some light on this i would be so grateful? Thanks in advance. 😊

Do you know if this will work on a 1994 (pre-OBD2) 9000 Aero?

The link for thr scan tool doesnt exist anymore can you put a updated link please.

Hey man thanks for the video. I know you said you haven't messed around with programming keys, but have you seen or heard anything about how easy it would be to do? I lost my keys and now have no working key fob and wanted to fix it myself instead of paying way too much. Thanks!

So once you get access through tis, is it good for your car forever? The only reason I'm asking is because my computer had died and I don't want to have to go through all of that again

Which clone is best?

cyber cyber cyber cyber il y a 19 heures hey, for my SAAB 9-5 2.0 1999, i've replaced the ECU and the TWICE CONTROL UNIT with new keys (all the kit) but my car still doesnt not recocnize the key (Key not accepted)... what can i do for this problem

I like what you're doing here so I subscribed. One question, how can you tell if it's a clone or an original??

I'm told the vcx nano has a virtual tech 2 built in and can do more I believe for like $120

i love my icarsoft VOL V2 for saab and volo dosent need anything more than diagnostic tool

I got that chinese clone and works fine but to add my vin number in to tech 2 I have to use windows xp ? Its there any other way ?

Can you adjust the speedometer? Mine is about 2.5 mph fast and I'd like it to be dead-on if possible. Thanks.

can you pair keys with the clone? I've gotten some mixed answers

Hey weakest of weeks, are you from the Youngstown area?? I noticed your shirt and live 25min from Y-Town. I was wondering if you could do a few keys and ECU for some cash

Another thing I forgot to mention, how can I get my tech2 to work on newer vehicles lets say 2011-2020?

How can one install the software with a newer PC, been having trouble with the tech 2 software

If you Help humanity selfishlessly, God help you. Guaranteed. Best of luck.

I am getting error occurred for security access please help thanks

The "Ethernet" connector is called RJ45, and the R232 is a Dsub-9 (or a RS232).

I live in md and I can never find a good tech so I been using youtube to fix my saab 9-5 thanks for the vid if anyone knows good tech out in MD please comment below thanks

hello.i am thinking about buying a tech 2 clone. can you please help me to choose which one to buy?i find some of them to ebay and they say that it can do only diagnose and nothing else!is it true?thanks

I have access 3 but i didnt show any vin number.,

Apparently, A lot of people are having trouble gaining security access. I installed Win XP 32 bit SP3, on a Dell latitude D630, which has a built-in serial port. I'm giving it one more stab, then jumping to GlobalTIS. Does GlobalTIS require ver 146, for the PCMCIA Saab card? Is the crack included with your download? Is Java required?

Excellent Video, CLEAR and EASY to follow. Thanks... The only thing I want to ask is my SAAB is of yr. 2000 SE 2.0T, will this TECH2 work? Also will a "regular" scanner, say an Actron OBD II Auto Scanner work w/ any SAAB 2000 or later, or it HAS TO BE this TECH2? Just saying... Thank you again for posting. Just SUBSCRIBED...

That chinese "copy/paste" thing really works same as oryginal ?

Hello there, Bought a Tech 2 used with Saab card in it. It has previous owner's VIN recorded on it. I have TIS 2000 on my old Laptop windows XP. I tried SPS and request info. It gives me the existing VIN it doesn't give me selectble choice to continue .,...... to add new my Saab VIN... I'm doing something wrong. Please help. ... 2003 Saab 95. V6 Arc. It says don't use Candy.. Thanks

Great Think, You think its work with Saab 9-5 NG?

it really won't work with Windows 7?

after the battery is completely discharged, the 2006 Cadillac BLS car does not read the key and does not give the opportunity to turn on the ignition. Displays "Pull out key, turn steering wheel. Restart"
