Using a hands-free kit when audio is switched off

Hi all,



I'm considering putting a hands-free mobile phone kit into my 1998 Saab



9-3. However despite lots of googling I couldn't find out whether the output of the car kit gets amplified if the audio system is switched off at the time of the call.

Can someone tell me whether it's necessary to have the radio always switched on to receive incoming calls, or does it power-on automatically when the car kit gives out the mute signal?



Any responses greatly appreciated!

i have had Nokia kits installed in several Saabs - all the ones since the

9-3 worked with the ignition off.

it can be left off on my 03 9-3 (and an earlier 9-3, but i dont remember the vintage)

OK, I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot for your response.

If it doesn't work, I could still connect the already amplified output of the handsfree device directly to one of the speakers. Let's see.

Bye, marco
