COMPATIBILITY:

• SAAB 9-3 (2007-2011)
• SAAB 9-5 (2006-2010)

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Allows for the installation of an aftermarket radio in vehicles that are equipped with a factory premium / amplified sound system (i.e. Rockford Fosgate, Bose, JBL, etc.)
• Plugs directly into vehicle's harness behind the factory radio
• Provides power and sound signals from the vehicle to the new aftermarket radio through RCA cables (if aftermarket radio does not have RCA outputs, a Line-Out Converter LOC is required)
• Cutting of vehicle's factory wiring and connectors is not necessary
• Function color-coding provided for simple installation
• Includes a separate red wire for the accessory 12-volt switched power. The separate red wire must be run from the aftermarket radio to the vehicle's fuse panel to provide 12-volt switched power.
• This harness is basic and will not retain R.A.P., factory navigation, factory video, factory amplifier, steering wheel controls, or any other factory features. A separate interface is required in order to retain factory features.
• *How will I know if my sound system is factory amplified / premium or not?  
  Even though the factory radio may not look premium, there is a possibility that it is indeed premium; this is a common characteristic of Saab vehicles. The ONLY WAY to be 100% sure is to pull out the factory radio and check the wire chart label.  There will be two charts; one for the 14-pin harness and the other for the 16-pin harness.  If on the 14-pin harness chart, the #6 pin is labeled 'RmtEnable', then you have an amplified / premium sound system and this wire harness WILL work for your vehicle.  Please check our other listings for the non-amplified version of this wire harness if your system is not premium.
