The remote system used in the 9-5 is pretty sorry, and a search on this board will come up with lots of similar complaints. Many have claimed that if you hold the key up at head level it works better, but it never made any difference for me. Saab claims it's for 'safety' reasons but I don't think many readers here buy that.
When I bought our '02, the marketing materials touted 'over a 1,000 changes made from the 2001 model year'. Well, they should've added improved remotes to the list. It's been an ongoing documented issue that should have been resolved, but still is an issue in the current model year.
I still enjoy our 9-5 despite this foible. As an aside, I went to the Chicago Auto Show last night, and IMHO, the 9-5 still is the most appealing (looks, performance, value, comfort) in its price bracket. You'd have to spend significantly more money to come away with something better.
