Replacing the main unit in the audio system

General

The main unit and CD changer (CDC) in the Saab 9-5 have a new type of theft protection. The main unit and the CD changer are both connected to the I bus. When the main unit and CD changer are installed for the first time, they are married to the vehicle. This is a process that is carried out using Tech 2. During the marriage, the main unit and CD changer identify theft protection information from the car. As from now, the main unit and CD changer will only work in this vehicle. Therefore, the Saab 9-5 does not need a radio code.

This also means that a main unit and CD changer being removed from a Saab 9-5 must be divorced from the vehicle before removal unless it is to be refitted into the same car.

Note

If the main unit or CD changer is DIVORCED, SID shows “RADIO CODE” or “CDC CODE” on activation.

- Main unit

- CD changer, option (4D)

- CD changer, option (5D)

•If the main unit or CD changer is still married to another Saab 9-5, SID will display “RADIO LOCKED” or “CDC LOCKED” on activation. To be able to divorce any of the units with Tech 2, the procedure must be performed in the vehicle to which the unit is married.

Important

The main unit and CD changer must be divorced before being returned for warranty repairs. The supplier cannot divorce them and will charge for all linked units sent to them.
