The key is laser cut in Sweden Judging from the tooling marks on my keys for my '99 9-5, they are most decidedly *not* laser-cut, but in my case, are cut on a milling machine with at least one chipped flute on the cutter. > I work at a Saab Dealership, I kinda know these > things. Maybe you've been *told* it's laser-cut, but that doesn't make it so. The tooling marks are quite clearly from an end-mill cutter with a 2.5mm diameter. Other than that, yeah, go get another key so it can be programmed to your car, or if you lose it, it gets really expensive. But, the key isn't laser-cut. Dave Hinz
