Faulty CIM data transfer
Transfer your vehicle's original CIM information to a suitable replacement (donor) unit by post.
Keep your Saab's original vehicle data.
If your Saab CIM is faulty, we can assess whether its vehicle-specific data can be extracted and transferred to a compatible donor CIM. Where the original data is readable and the donor is suitable, we reprogramme the donor unit to match your vehicle.
The original CIM must come from the car you wish to start.
Please send both units, clearly marked ORIGINAL and DONOR as shown below, to our postal address with your full contact details.
Send both units, clearly identified.

Remove the stalk arms before packing. Use separate protective wrapping so the two units cannot damage each other.
How to label the two CIM units
DONOR
The replacement CIM intended for installation. Clearly label it DONOR and keep it separately wrapped.
Important: Do not install or programme the donor yourself before we have agreed the job. A badly damaged original or incompatible donor may prevent successful transfer. We will advise what is possible after assessment.
