Saab: Ignition Kill/Alarm Problems

I have a 9-5 (2001) that won't start...for some reason the ignition kill
is "on" and won't alow me to start the car. The alarm system is "dead"
and won't respond to either key or transponder. (I get a radio lock
message, but not the message saying it doesn't recognize the key)

The Saab roadside assitance said the alarm should reset itself after
about 20 minutes...but that didn't happen....they also said there is a
way to reset the alarm with the key, but they didn't know how....

Dealership told me to bring it in...this means having it towed....Any
other ideas before I do that?

Thanks
