You can't just wait for alarm to stop and then drive off. SAABs have a real antitheft system, not just an alarm. Your car is disabled and will require a new alarm brain if you can't get the remote working. Does the LED flash? Replace the batteries in your remote and cross your fingers. Sometimes you have to hold the button down for 30 seconds to resync the systems. If you get in the car, STOP using the remote until you get an extra one programmed for your car. You can find them on eBay for less than half the dealer price. You will have to take it to a dealer for programming. It has been stated on here a hundred times to always have two remotes or don't use the alarm. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before your situation arises. Good luck getting it working, the last quote I heard for a new alarm brain was around $1500.
