Saab 9-3 - 6gb XTRONS Android Head Unit Install - DAB, Front & Rear Dashcam DVR, Reverse Cam, TPMS 

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with your installation videos, you are a legend!

For those wondering, for an automatic car, you need to use a different manufacturer, for loom etc. The units linked will work but if you have flappy paddles, or use the stick to auto shift, when you change up and down the unit volume will also change. I asked on three videos but no Answer, so I called the distributor, and that's the information from them. Hope that helps those like me that were confused :)

Man this is so handy, Ive wanted to put a screen in ours for ages but this has it all!

Great video, it’s super clear. Will install my reverse camera tomorrow. Cheers

Great video thanks for sharing. Almost gives me the confidence to give it a try myself.

Great video. You confidently know these wonderfully quirky vehicles. Love my 6 speed '07 convertible. Thanks. Cheeky like. ✅

Many thanks 4 this great video.

Awesome video 📹

Good video. I'm going to try and fit a similar unit. Been looking at a Tunez "plug n go" complete package. It's the only kit I can find that is complete. Not sure about the brand but they're sold on Amazon. What can go wrong. Haha. Famous last words. I'm not very electrically minded but you make it look so easy. Cheers.

Great video again! I've got a 2006 pre facelift 93 convertible with the standard radio and CD changer. Can this system be retro fitted?

Great video as always 👍 you should try installing the teyes TPMS I'm thinking to getting one

I think a lot of people on the fence about android units involves a lack of detail on how great the various apps can be from the android store in a car. One example would be the ability to say put plex on it and actually download video using the wifi sitting right outside your house for example. Or maybe connecting up a game controller with an emulator on it.. the offline google maps are something I think is really cool aka no need for a phone.... apps to hit up the OBD feature that might provide useful data... maybe even one that can look up a sensor code right there on the headunit with no need to pull out a phone... things like that. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but I do think a lot of videos fall short on this. There is such great value in the apps from the store.

Thanks for the reviews! Do you have a video that shows the installation of power cabling in a Saab 9-3 to an aftermarket unit? I can't get my head around. I am probably overthinking it. And/or hesitant to screw things up - Help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers very helpful!!

Hello, great videos all along on all the topics.. I have an Xtrons HU installed on my Mitsubishi Montero 2003 and I love it. I have issues with the installation of my cameras and since I have an strange setup I am most likely to ask for help to Tech Support on this. How can I get in contact with someone for technical questions on their Head Units? Thanks for all the information an d Happy New Year!!

22:11 min: I had an Xtrons with the some 3 cables (K1, K2, GND). I switched to an Eonon q03pro with only K1, K2. Do i have to connect the GND of the Can-Bus anywhere else or just leave it?

Odd that the sunroof was rare over there. I have yet to see one in the states without, even the base model NG9-3's. Love seeing the 05 Aero rims on the facelift though! Nice looks.

Make a video of the settings for that player, the reversing camera and its settings! Would be very interested!

between Xtrons Dasaita Joying and IDoing that you have eviewed, which is the unit that you love most and why?

I would like to get this kit for my 9-3 convertible but still like my cds/dvds.... Is there a unit that does GPS Dab Bluetooth and the cameras with dvd?

Do you have a link for a double din mounting kit when having a car with automatic gearbox? Thanks

Hi buddy I have the teyes cc3 on your recommendation however I can't seem to get the external mic to work. Any idea's cheers

I’m having problems getting the reverse cam to work. I’ve followed your instructions but still no signal. Do you need to connect the power line on the lead that runs from the back to the front to anything? I presumed that the connects2 fly wire did the job of switching to aux, by connecting it to back, and no further connection was required? Help!

Hi, thanks for videos very useful and well made. Could you answer the following please. Are there any android head units that can operate both the android system and the original equipment in a car, for example if you prefer the car set nav or bluetooth over the android. Thanks - mick

Did u ever figure out the TPMS issue? I bought IQP92M245 head unit with DVR030S dashcam and TPMS07 tire pressure monitoring but I cannot get them to work. Dashcam is connected to USB and red light is on but no image in DVR app or any other app. Only orange icon with "!" symbol. Same thing with TPMS. Connected to USB and red light flashes for a second when plugging in but all sensors are red in the app with no data connection.

Hi, is it possible to use a powered usb hub if you need more than the number of usb ports provided on the xtrons unit? Cheers Gordon

Hi Stuart. Thanks so much for all the content. I have a 2006 Saab 93 and am looking to get either this unit or, more likely a Joying 7". I have seen many of your installs but they are tending to be on 2008+ cars which have the squared off hole for the radio whereas the 2006 ICM1 is curve shaped on the left hand side to the dash bezel. Do you know of any fitting kits / blanking plates or do the manufacturers supply them durng order if you specify the vehicle ?

Hi,I gave my saab 93 to my dad and bought a nissan navara d40.what would you replace the old satnav/head unit with? Regards Q.

Maybe make a video showing you just driving around using the Android headunit normally. Basically showing off it's features in daily use

Cheers Dude

What would you suggest, i have a 9-3 with nav unit and want a cheap but easy to fit android auto unit

Hi, I purchased an xtrons unit for my 2010 saab 9-3 but the electrician who has to install it for me says it's not possible because my car has an amplifier behind the trunk while the xtrons unit is pre-amplified , can you help me?

Is it easy to install in the Saab 93 mines a 2009 1:8 &i no very little about stuff like this . I do however have a friend who said if a simple plug in &swap he might be able to help thanks .

Hello, I just havet a small question for you, What model is this on Xtrons all versions?

Will that XTRONS camera work with an iDoing head unit? I've been looking all over for a front/rear dash cam that work with Android head units and that's the only one I've seen so far.

Which is the "best" cheap Xtrons unit? I want one for my 2007 Aero. Do I also need to buy DAB dongle as an extra? I want Android Auto.

I have an xtrons unti in my Saab 93 I get an error saying system UI isn't available how do I fix this I have reset it over and over but no luck

So...the update on the TPMS that you were going to do? Can't find it.

Hi, does the connect2 works with automatic transmission saabs, as they mentioned on their web site that it is only for manual trans. saab

Why you didn't use a pass through adapter here?

Does the steering control module only work on car with a manual transmission?

Are there batteries in the tpms units?

there's two usb cables with my head unit. one is 4 pin labelled as mirror link and the second one is 6 pin and no label. what's the difference between them and what should they be used for? both start android auto when I connect my phone to it.

What harness would you suggest for a 2010 9-3x combi with bose, not interested in steering wheel controls.

Great video, how different is it to Install the Eonon Q04Pro FLAGSHIP 7 inch?

Great video, I was wondering if these Xtrons units support factory reversing cameras? And if not is there a canbus adapter that works with these? I really have no faith in EONON and this brand seems solid

I tried installing a camera on a 2007 SAAB yesterday but it wouldn’t work. I followed the instructions on the camera I bought from Amazon but it kept giving me an error message that my light was out. So I simply gave up

did the dashcam on mines and reversing camera, the dashcam sometimes doesnt startup and the headunit reports no device found, apparently fairly common according to the forums, Unplugging and replugging it sorts it temporarily but its a pain, also oted the app only shows km/h ive mailed xtrons to ask about changing it to mph but had no reply

cheeky like!

Could you send a list of extra equipment required for all this to work please.

Did you ever figure out the issue with the TPMS on this XTRONS unit?

i have an xtrons head unit in my saab 9-3. it's getting really slow now. Takes an age to open spotify. And the DAB only works if i am in the town centre, really poor out of town, it won't work when other DAB radios i have had on rental cars works well out of town. I might change it

Does this work on automatics, im hearing no...

Do the parking sensors function after the install?I would imagine its connected with the original stereo,or am I wrong?

I just ordered a teyes cc3. will my existing parking sensors work with the head unit? (Still beep/maybe be displayed on hu?)

I did an install but no sound... Is there a wire that turns on the stock amp?

Please help, my son has a 2007 Saab 9-3 and had someone install a new Sony head unit with Apple Car Play and now his ignition key won’t turn to the off position so he can remove the key! The key stays in either on or auxiliary position which drains his battery! I’m sure the person who installed it just overlooked at didn’t know of a safety switch or the wiring harness was incorrect. Is there anything involved in a head unit replacement that would prevent the key from being able to remove it?

Did you disconnect the battery for the A-pillars to avoid the airbag to deploy?

How did the camera go operating through the glass?

Good information! I don't own a Saab but the info in this video applies to most installations. As for the TPMS, it is possible to install them without taking the tires to a repair shop and it's not as difficult to do on your own as you might think: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yIWUz2UIKdw.html Not mentioned in the video is that if you need help getting the tire to re-seal onto the rim, you can use a ratcheting tiedown strap around the circumference of the tire to squeeze the tire into the bead until it starts to take air effectively, then remove the strap and continue inflating. Also, many cars already come with TPMS though you may not see any front end info unless there's an underinflated tire or a blowout. To see that stock TPMS info on your Android head unit, you can use something like an OBDII dongle and an app like Torque Pro that runs on the Android hardware (dongle + app is well under $50). Or, have a look at the Open Vehicle Monitoring System (OVMS) for TONS of info about your vehicle and the ability to read info remotely or even control the vehicle, such as remote start, climate control and so on. It's really cool! Current support is mainly electric vehicles, but you can read about it here: docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/introduction.html

Maybe TPMS module is self powered meaning - you need to install them on wheel and drive around few miles to be powered on. That is how the original TPMS work too.

Can you still use the Nightpanel function for this headunit?

Hi again, The fakra connector you used in the is video, was it a fakra to SMA and if so could you list where or do you know were I can get one, Thanks, PS: I tried the antenna splitter from your last video and it don't work no signal

This is great. Every 9-3 head unit video you release reduces the cloud of ignorance and uncertainty in my head. I'll probably be getting the 7" T'eyes CC2 Plus for my 2007 9-3 Aero manual, but I've just bought a Maptun leather steering wheel and buying a head unit as well in the same month might cause a ripple in the aura of domestic harmony. Your steering wheel swapping video has been very useful. Is the aftermarket install kit you list here compatible with the T'eyes CC2 plus?

Xtrons 2gb, teyes cc plus or atoto f7? Stuck between these two

hello, how to communicate with the author? I have a Saab 95 NG, I want something for it

For the TPMS, change the Bluetooth access code to 1234. Don't ask me why, but it solved it for me.

Hi ,saab ,i saw you have a very good video ,How can I get in touch with you ?
