I’m so glad you’re doing all of these dashboard videos right now. I just bought a 2006 9-3 for my youngest son Monday, and I gotta replace the cup holder and stuff. It’ll be so much easier now that I know where all the tabs are! I usually don’t discover where the tabs are myself without breaking a couple of them, which as I’m sure you understand is highly irritating 🙂
There's a guy on YT that took an icm3 and was able to fit a modified phone/screen/computer in the original plastic piece and basically got a modern head unit to work in the 03 to 07 9-3.
Auto Autopsy Yeah, he charges for the upgrade or the parts for the upgrade - by the look of things he leaves a number of components in the unit to fool the car. As indicators and rear parking sensor sounds would be otherwise compromised
Congrats on the upgrade. Regarding tech2. The linear radio only has one amp I believe? The ARC radio has two amps, front and rear. Nav radio has all kinds of stuff going on. Seems like a tech2 just programs the BCU and the radio to properly use them? I have never upgraded so I am only regurgitating what I can recall from chat sites. However, if the radio/CD/Aux works good on all speakers, maybe leave it and be happy. The only possible reason to tech2 would be if some aren't working, or CD or aux are not.
great video my Daughter just brought a saab 93 2006 model sedan she loves it she is only 16 but the CD player only makes a clicking noise do you think there could be a cd stuck in it as a cd wont go in it
When You don't program ICM2 or change something in EHU settings by Tech2 there will be two things: button "NXT" on steering wheel will be changing stations from one to six, and stop. Second, radio can remember only six stations. Check it out there, for example I don't have Tech2, so I have bought second EHU from car with ICM2 and replaced it.
@@AutoAutopsy Thanks i will! And your videos helped me decide on saabs because of all their funny quirks and features. 👍 And your content is great im sure it will help me in the future also!
I pulled the head unit out of my saab 2003 9-3 turbo and didn't have the right aftermarket adaptor plug so I left the standard head unit out put the negative back on the battery and it wouldn't start so plugged the stock one back in and it started wtf😑 the computers are very complicated in theses cars now I'm getting a auto electrician to wire the aftermarket one up and deal with the eco issues 😔🤞
@@SaabUnleashed it is since the icm is linked to the car, it won't work without it therefore you have to divorce it before installing it in another car.
Wait a sec. My radio is attached to the top of my CD player and resides behind the cabin air control panel. The radio's control panel, is what you swapped. I think. Maybe kinda sort of. Or different 2005 9-3 configuations?
I'm hoping I can take radio from an 06 arc and put it in my 05 arc without having to use tech 2 as I don't have access to that. It's the identical radio
Have a quick question. I have a 2006 9-3 Aero with the ICM 2 and want to put in ICM3 with color screen. Do you think I would have to divorce the ICM2 and marry the ICM3? Since you did this video just unsure.
Hey! first of i wanna say i love your videos, been watching a lot ever sens i bought my first car, a SAAB 9-3 2003. Got a great price on it but there was some things that needed to be fixed. There is only one thing left, and that is the radio, its dead, now i am planing to do this fix myself as it seems to be fairly easy when watching this video, but i am worried that i am not gonna have the same luck with just sliding in a new radio and boom it works. Would be awesome if u had some time to answer this comment and explain what if anything i need to do other then getting a SAAB radio from the local car dismantling place that sells spare parts, such as SAAB radios :P AND if anyone else knows or can help me out, a big thank u ahead of time.
thanks! should be the same process, as far as I've heard from other comments. Worst case, you will need a tech2 to marry it, for which there's probably someone local who could help you
@@AutoAutopsy 2006 saab 9-3 radio isn't functioning. I've read that this can't be fixed/replaced because of the setup with fiber optic cable. Any truth to this?
I so love the button dash! I don't own a 9-3 but a 9-5 1998 chassies no 3500 of the line in 1997, and I absolutely find it the most eye catching dash of all gen I 9-5's. (Sans the pixel display). And Yes, I doo play cassettes and place calls on my Nokia 8110 banana phone from yore. I Will buy a button dash 9-3 Aero (or a 1.8i 125hp to chock all you on the other side of the pond) and a later 2,8T Cabriolet plus a NG9-5 Aero...will send pics. Hmmm...must build an eight car garage. 1. 1997 (-98) no 3500 Launch 2,3t 9-5 Cayenne red (my baby called Marianne) 2. 2020 Merc E 350de HGV hybrid (called Göran) 3. 2009 Opel Corsa 1.3 EcoFlex diesel Ming Green 4. 2020 Opel Corsa-E Electric 5. There will be a 9-3 button dash SC 6. A NG 9-5 2.8 Turbo 7. And if car gods willing a NEVS 9-3 all electric and a Sonett III V4 8. A Maptuned 9-3 2.8T Convertible Ps. Our wedding ride was Christian von Koenigseggs Saab 9-3 2.8 255hp Cabriolet
It's easier to upgrade a 2002 because there is enough room and to place an aftermarket double-din radio and the cabling is all in the right place, just like a 2007 onwards
Thanks, but nothing, no tool in my extensive array of tools works. Radio has been non-functional for over 2 years and this stupid vent basically cannot be removed at any cost. I've broken many small implements attempting this, now the directional knobs on the vent are broken. Not worth it. Nice try though.
@@AutoAutopsy i beleve the presets are saved on the on the EHU radio unit (the box above the Cd-Shifter). so re-placing the ICM should not effekt the radio stason presets.
Hi I tried this....icm 2 for icm 1 in my 2005 vert. Eml would illuminate every 3 or 4 days....each time I would disconnect battery and it would be OK again for a couple of days. Tech 2 showed cim communication error....hmmmm So I looked it up on here saabworld.net/showthread.php?t=25524 The triangulation of communication between sid...cim...and icm was corrupted by not tech 2 ing the icm 2 echange. Put the old one back in and all is fine again. Allthough I will say the icm 2 worked fine....sid displayed swedish then symbols....then Eml. Just saying.....
@@AutoAutopsy oops my bad Radio played great.....Eml would come on every two or three days. As I've only had the car a few weeks And icm2 was the only thing I changed....I miss diagnosed it as that. Turns out it was the fuel filter starving the engine of fuel..... And what an incredible difference it's made. Who woulda thunk it. So my Appologies. ....and I will now refit icm2. Look forward to the next upload. Thanks for your help
