I fucking loooovvveee the out takes lol
can you please upload a video with cd removal pleaseeee>?
Thank you so much. I’m at a car junkyard and needed a new cup holder because mine ccracked. I only watched a minute of your video but I was able to pop off the front panel and unscrew ithe new one out out
I have a question sir. Is it possible to install a custom dvd double in dash into my 2006 saab 9-3 2.0T
but how to remove the cd player,, have ACC, and under that panel i have cd player
I just bought a 2004 SAAB 9-3 convertible. I would like to upgrade the car with a gps and an aftermarket stereo. What items would you recommend? Thanks!
Thanks much for the video as now with saab being bankrupt and no dealers available doing stuff myself is becoming a necessity. I replaced the cup holder in my 2006 Aero 9-3 Convertible. It took me 10x longer than you did as I expected but I did it. I couldn’t disconnect the radio or climate controls but I was able to complete the project without doing that fortunately.
Can I follow the same dash removal procedure to replace the dash lights? Where are they located?
You look educated on saabs. I have a 93T conv. 2006. I have some button/lights blown out on the radio display. Is there a way to replace the bulbs? Do I need to take the radio apart/out? Thanks.
is there a difference with the navigation?
congratulations
I have a 2003 9-5 3.0t with a harmon kardon audio that won’t make sound. The fuse on the head unit was changed and that got it to light up, but the sound still won’t come out, I am thinking that it may be the amplifier but would like to know if there are any other easy tests or fuses to check first. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
wicked awesome
have u got aux working yet?
Thx for the vid .
quick question, I am going to fix my radio, it recently stopped working (it’s a long story) but do I have to waste my time removing the MCC to get to the radio?
I was wondering if there was anyway to put in Aux. I’m a little tired of using the FM converter, as it doesn’t look very good. Thanks.
My boss broke mine thinking it would help him out of my car. This video made replacement of it so easy. Saved me about $150-175 installation.
Is there a way to hook up subs to the stock radio?
where are you from?
No it is slightly different.
Go to this website. Its a well respected Saab dealer that also has a wholesale parts website.

Technically you should have it properly programmed to your specific car. But you can just plug it in and it will work.
Great video, just replaced my ACC climate control panel while watching your video on my iPad. Thanks a ton!!!
Just a question, my amplifier under front passenger seat(Saab 9-3 2005) is all corroded. I’ve found a replacement from a scrap yard but would it need to be installed using TECH-2 or would it be case of simple ‘plug & play’.
Much appreciate if you could help me with your excellent knowledge.
What is the part number for a strong replacement for one of these? Reason i ask is I want to install something like this in a different car all together. Thanks for any info!
Hello where did you get your windshield tools you specifically used? I bought some nylon pry tools set and it does rub the soft touch at the edge.
Also Its not easy at all to get into the seam and I feel like it may break. Are these things that sturdy? In the video you do it with such ease. Any additional tips?
I’m trying to get at the ICM unit so I only need to remove the vents.
I have a 2008 9-3. Is this the same design? Repair technique?
hi there, I have 2003 saab 9-3 arc and I would like to know if i would be able upgrade my stock radio with that of a 2003 93 vector or better ? will the wire harness be the the same ?
the display on my radio has lines running through, seems like the light are burned out and it looks tacky. what do you suggest i do if im not able to do so ?
Anybody has a 9-3 from this generation? I would really like some advice about this car. I mean, I ‘ve noticed that on the display you can see an average fuel consumption but not an instant one. Is it possible to see the instant fuel consumption on this car?
Hey guys great vid tho ive just jammed a cd in the front load pannel any help for removal would be a great help…
Hey How do you take off Pass. door panel on a 2003 Saab 93L 4door with power windows and lock because handle on inside does not work
Thanks
How do you take out the cd player and install Aux cable?? Please help!!
Thank you so much for this video! I couldn’t have done it without you! Huge help!
Awsome Video…took me about 5 minutes to replace, after watching the video!
just replaced the cup holder in about a half hour…thanks good vid
In regards to an aftermarket stereo. You can but of course it looks horrible and may lead to problems. Also it won’t be easy.
Any sports sedan (03′-06′) can easily add a ipod/mp3 player audio aux. jack. It goes into the back of the radio and ends in the center console under the arm rest. It is just a simple cable harness that you run inside the center console.
NOTE: You must go to a dealer to at least program your radio to enable the AUX to be recognized. Or else it will not work.
thanks so much for posting this! Saved me a fortune! It was surprisingly easy, start to finish about 10 mins!
can you put in an after market stereo in a 2004 ?
do you have a video of how to replace the fog lights??
Wow, Andy you make it look so easy. I was worried that I would have to shell out some dough to get my cup holder fixed, but thanks to you I was able to tear into the dash myself. As a bonus it turns out my cup holder was just jammed up. I fixed it, put it back together, and now I am good to go. THANK YOU! Please post more.
Clean work !
i have a saab 9-3 2003 model.i was thinking of putting a pioneer double din stereo.first of all i didnt find any fascial for this model and secondly when i tried to remove the SID unit to see whats going on from behind i had the message on the display that said ”reduced engine power” or something like that.i want to know if its possible to put the stereo in any way?will i have a problem?because someone told me that has an optic cable and its different.thanx in advance
What tools did you use to remove the air vent? Can I just use a credit card?
Thanks for the heads up. I was trying to find cheaper-than-OE bulbs, but that seems like more work than it’s worth. Of course, only the one bulb from 75+ is out, so I can pretend I’m in night mode until I get up to speed. 🙂
Just about. The only differences are quite obvious with the updated radio unit.
Yes, the bulbs are replaceable. They are of course special bulbs that you would have to get from the dealer. I would replace the majority of them because just being in there can cause others to fail. But we have just replaced the bulbs that were out with no issues.
This is very well done! I have a 2007 Saab 9-3 and need to replace the cup holder. Can you tell me if the procedure is the same?
Wow forgot to respond for months. Yes, my 2K 9-5 has bulbs out in the MIU. Is there any way I can take the beast apart and replace dead bulbs without causing issues – or am I stuck getting a new remanuf/refurb cluster?
Thanks!
nice one very good information keep it up
