Car Forum / Saab Cars / May 20079-3 2000 radio
Just got a second-hand (pre loved!) 2000 9-3. There is no radio code recorded; do I need one or is it all in the radio chip that identifies it to the car? I want to work on the car and need to disconnect the battery. Thanks  SignatureRichard Sutherland-Smith 19 Webb Road, Wanganui 4500, NZ >Just got a second-hand (pre loved!) 2000 9-3.

There should not be a charge for this but you never know. >>Just got a second-hand (pre loved!) 2000 9-3.

Thanks, I have just found that out from another source as well. Our new Wellington dealer is not very well informed yet!

What year did they change? >>> No security codes with the 9-3 radio, it is hard coded to the car >>> security system so you can disconnect the battery without fear.

SignatureRichard Sutherland-Smith 19 Webb Road, Wanganui 4500, NZ >Are you sure about that? What year did they change? The NG900's had radios that required a code to unlock them. With the 9-3 (and 9-5) the radio and CD changers are 'married' to the car security system using the Tech II diagnostic tool the dealers use and don't need a code entering when the battery is removed.
