Car Forum / Saab Cars / September 20072003 9-3 Radio Question (AUX)
I have a 2003 SAAB 9.3 Linear. The radio has an AUX selection. I'm assuming that this is for an external device. I do not have the manual and want to know more about it. Any Info. > I have a 2003 SAAB 9.3 Linear. The radio has an AUX selection. I'm > assuming that this is for an external device. I do not have the manual and > want to know more about it. > > Any Info.

That's correct. In 2003 the aux cable was not included, but can be bought at any SAAB dealership for ~$40. http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=44_45&products_id=227 It's pretty easy to install but requires some fiddling around with the center console to run the cable and pull out the radio to plug it in the back. Oh, the aux cable uses the same input connector that a trunk mount CD Changer would use, so if you already have that option I believe you are out of luck. My '03s both have the in-dash CD changers, so I was OK to add the aux cables.

How do you do this, is there a special tool? Thanks, hc Signaturehttp://www.intercuts.com/weblog/ >>and pull out the radio to plug it in the >>back.

My problem is that there's a CD stuck in the player and I'd love to remove it. I originally misread this posting. Any ideas about removing the CD player and investigating its innards? Is it likely that the entertainment system would need to be "re-coded" after this with a diagnostic tool. I'm being quoted silly money by the local repair shop.

It's not like many other systems where it loses its mind when unpowered. But if you tried to use a different CD player, the player and head unit would need to be re-married to work together. I've never done any work on the in-dash CD changers in my cars as they have never failed, but I'm fairly confident you can take it out and play around with it with no fear of losing any codes.

Thanks a lot Fred. Do you know if I need any special tool for removing the player? Thanks again, Hugh Signaturehttp://www.intercuts.com/weblog/ >>I don't think the system would need recoding.
