l just purchased a 2006 9-3 saab sedan and whenever l go to unlock the car, it beeps rather loudly, and gets on my nerves

take it to a dealer

Can be turned off using TECH 2 which will be available with your dealer.

Take it to any Saab dealer whenever you want. It is a really quick reprogram. l had it done during my first service because they do not charge for something small like that and l did not want to waste their billable time.

Sure, u can take it to a dealer, or even better, u can take it to a local independent Saab mechanic (aka ''indy''). All they need is the ''Tech 2'' code scanner.

They will do it for half price or better compared to a dealer. My dealer wanted to charge me $120. l laughed at them, & went to M.S.N. Automotive, a Saab specialist, & he charged me $25 or $30, & had me sit in the car with him so that l had all the programming done exactly how l wanted it.

Check out the links below. The first link can tell u where nearby Saab specialist mechanics are, & the second one gives u an idea of what kind of programming u can change with a Tech 2 (it is for a 9-5, but options for the 9-3 should be similar).
