Replacing the head unit in the audio system

Replacing the head unit in the audio system

General

When the head unit is first installed it is married to the vehicle. This is a process which is carried out using Tech 2. During the marriage the head unit identifies theft protection information from the vehicle. From that moment onwards the head unit will only function in that particular vehicle. It is therefore that no radio code is needed for the Saab 9-5.

This also means that a head unit and 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 head unit is DIVORCED, “NO VIN” is shown on the radio display during activation.

If the head unit is still married to another Saab 9-5, "LOCKED" appears in the radio display upon activation.


See Head unit regarding remova and fitting of the radio head unit.

Important

The unit must be separated before it is returned for repairs under warranty. The supplier cannot do this and will make a charge for all connected units that are sent to them.
