What are the difference(s) between the FOB and the TAG devices?

I only had the FOB but as far as I understand, the main difference is that the TAG doesn't have an ability to find your phone at the push of a button. So the FOB is two-way but the TAG is only one-way seeking. I hope that this helps.

Purchased this as a gift but my reserch showed range and battery life was shorter with the tags. Hope this helps

Actually, I returned it because of the number of false positives I got. But to answer your question, the fob goes on your keychain and the tag is used for a purse or such (larger)

The FOB has a button that triggers the alarm on your phone. The TAG does not.

I only own the Fob, but as I understand it, the Fob has a button that when pressed makes the phone beep, or silences the alarm. The tag just beeps when away from the phone and can only be silenced from the phone.

NFC is - by design - short distance. Though it can read "RFID" if you want long range try "active RFID" or "medium range RFID" or "long range RFID"

You have to bring it to a Saab authorized dealer to have it programmed. It is expensive, so if your electronics still work (mine did) but the fob fell apart, you can put the good electronic board inside the bad fob into the new fob. You end up with the new unprogrammed electronics you don't need, however the exterior of the fob is superior in quality and works as well as the original.

For me it worked just great. It was a match for the original FOB. I don't know anything about needing the original radio. I'm really surprised that would be a condition as many people want or need to change their radio. I would think the only requirement is the electronic circuits may need use of the antenna, but not the radio, and that the electronics are still connected to the antenna.

Two fobs.If you have them (fobs) it is very easy to program a new one. If not, you will need to go to a dealer (or locksmith) and have your fobs reprogramed. I was fortunate. One of my fobs was broke but I could still get it to work. Hope you do too.

I have one of each. Not much difference. I set up the yellow one for travel, and the black one for at home.

The numbers should be on the back of the fob if not. I don't think there is to many options so buy one and send back if it doesn't work just be sure to send it back right away or you'll be stuck with it. The company remotes remotes will not help so make sure you know how to program.

I got the fob (six button) from one seller and the transponder keys from another - couldn't find one seller with both. My XLE limited took both 2 new fobs and 5 new transponder keys - finding and following the correct sequence of steps/actions exactly as instructed was the most important thing.

I have not done the programming as in the mean time I have found the second key.My understandign is that the FOB need to be programmed in the car. Your service people mut have a tool for it. When I asked they said it will cost ~60AUD. Brgde George Vaskovics

This is only the CASE to the fob. It uses the internals of an original fob. Two fobs I had broke off the loop for the key chain and these worked perfectly to fit the internal electronics. I changed the battery too. This is only the plastic case not a functional fob.

They aren't GPS tags- the most you could probably do is have it set to trigger an alarm if it was removed from the NFC tag

I didn't have any working fobs either. You set it up doing some different things inside the vehicle and pressing buttons on the fob. Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry, this is for one fob. The #2 in the listing is referring to the memory # on the fob.

The + tag indicates the positive wire and the - tag indicates the negative wire. The wires on the controller with the red sleeves are the + (positive) wires.

I have bought both and both have worked. Not sure of the technical differences.

I'm pretty sure you can program it without a FOB. When I programmed the new FOB, I had to reprogram the old one as well. 30 seconds and you're done.
