Saab Bluetooth

Ernie,

I would like to figure that out too. I hope we can figure it out.

I also would like to see how we could enable the "ipod", etc. MP3 player connection.

SaabGuy

See

for directions on enabling the AUX input.

I have scoured the site, no luck finding it.

Can you please provide more info such as where I could find it? In searching "aux", nothing shows up either.

Please advise

SaabGuy

"aux", nothing shows up either.

This is strange, my 9-3 came with an D-Sub Aux input in the center storage area between the seats, It works great. Was this something new for 2005?

Anyway, My quest for Bluetooth continues...

There must be a way!!!!! I doubt that Saab makes a radio just for the US market...

Where did you get your 2005 9-3 SS? Are you in the U.S.?

What model 9-3 SS do you have?

Also, how do you "select" Aux Input

What is D-Sub????

I'm guessing that any dealer can enable/disable the feature through his Tech2.

I also hope that it doesn't require a certain "Infotainment" version, so hopefully any Saab 9-3 SS (Linear, Arc, and Aero, etc. will be fine regardelss of what version of infotainment they have on board.

If you have a < 2005 US model, you a sh#t out of luck. Just buy a bluetooth phone with voice commands and a bluetooth ear piece.

I have a 2003 9-3 SS Linear. I ordered the Aux-In adapter. I hope my tech with his TECH-2 can "add this menu" option.

What happened with the 2005 US model? It seems like they really removed things from it!

I heard that locking gas gaps were removed in 2004+ on the 9-3SS too! What the heck did they do that???

SaabGuy

Where did you order the Aux-In adapter from? Let us know how the installation goes.

Definitely no locking gas cap on my 2004 9-3. What kind of lock is it, keyed fuel door, keyed cap, or one of those kinds with the release button inside the car?

Shane,

I will be installing it this weekend. My guess is that after the installation, the car will need to be connected to a TECH-2 unfortunately to add the "menu" option AUX-IN.

SaabGuy

If the doors are locked then the cap is locked and vice versa.

See:

...includes instructions.

Also found this "Adaptor Harness Handsfree"....

I thought the car had this pre-installed. How does this work? Does this permit connecting a 3rd party mobile/cell phone to the car's audio system? That would be very cool.

Tex,

What does the bluetooth actually do and how do I know it the 2003 U.S. 9-3 SS Linear has Bluetooth or could be equipped with it??

SaabGuy

Yes...the wiring was added for 2005. My 2004 has a plastic covering where the jack _should_ be. There is an add-on kit available for models which lack it

.

Bluetooth allows you to wirelessly connect a bluetooth-enabled cell/mobile phone to the 9-3's audio system. However, BT for the US market Saabs has not been enabled/included.

I have an enquiry in to my service manager to verify that it can't be done.

- tex

Nope...no go on bluetooth (on US models) :-( But the hard-wired option may still be the way to go for connecting in a mobile phone.

Tex, did the dealer give you a reason as to why it was disabled? Or was it a stock response.
