Back and forward range is OK. You can get a new normal sized key (from the 2002 model) cut for your older 9-5 to replace the monstrosity. I've just had to do it for my wife who wanted to put her key on her keyring but still have all the remote control. It's good, but a bit pricey: in addition to paying $160 for the key, I had to pay $50 to a locksmith to cut the key on a computer system. That's a lot for a bloody key. Others have complained about the discs and pads wearing out quickly, so there must be a quality control problem somewhere - they shouldn't wear out that quickly unless you are lead footed or race the car! Mine are both still OK after 55,000Km in my 1998 9-5SE. -- Regards, Peter Wilkins
