Detailed description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The entertainment head unit is mounted in the centre of the dashboard. The head unit receives audio and antenna signals from other units in the system. The signals are transmitted on from the unit's outputs to the speakers of the Premium 70 audio system and by I-bus to the amplifiers of the Premium 150, Prestige 300 and Bose® audio systems.

The entertainment head unit is an FM/AM receiver with PLL double synthesis tuner for precise station setting, preset to various frequency bands depending on the market. The radio receiver has a memory, which makes it possible to retain selected stations even if battery power is lost. The CD player supports the mp3 format.

The hardware is the same for all markets and is controlled by "end of line programming". If the unit is to be replaced, it must be programmed for the relevant market. Security access from TIS is required to "marry" and "divorce" the audio unit from the car.
