    Hey all! Hope you enjoy the video. Unfortunately it looks like a new HDMI ribbon did not solve my air vent/signal problem 🤦🏻‍♂️ looks like I’m going to be doing some more troubleshooting before reinstalling. Moral of the story: make sure you cut your air vent!!
  • @nikdelano
    Not gonna lie, I laughed when you dropped the screw for the ICM. Not because you dropped it, but just the silence. I could hear the pain and frustration

    I love your channel!! I was recently gifted my mom’s 2006 Saab 9-3 and you literally have a video for EVERYTHING I want to do with the car. Love it👏🏽
  • Highly appreciate your detailed documentation of each step. This is exactly the best solution for my Saab MY 2006 as I've been looking for for some time. Great job - Thank you so much!

    This is something that I was gonna do with my ICM3. Ended up selling the car before I had the chance to do it! Stewart did such an amazing job at making this look OEM!!

    I did mine about 6 months ago, but with android, I couldn’t get the Bluetooth to connect to my galaxy phone so just used the usb to connect my phone, it works fine and is a great bit of kit. I also cut the section off the air vent so had no problems with the hdmi ribbon. Awesome mod for any older Saab 93. Great and informative video.
  • This is an amazing result. Just to mention whoever tries this on his own never use longer ribbon than the one suggested. Anything more than 20cm creates problem with the signal. Also in most cases you will need a filter between the sound card and the aux to get rid of high pitch noise.

    You have a tendency to upload a video covering exactly what I'm about to do with my 9-3. I literally just bought the components after watching his video. <3
  • @roysolis4004
    Great video I hope he comes out with one for 2008+ There are some vents in the overhead dome light you should run your microphone to and you'll have a full factory look
  • I've got one of these, did go through a state of not connecting but been great apart from that. Snapped my ribbon cable putting it back in, really fragile cables. Stu did the video for the light saab sils, look awesome. He's got a massive backlog now after his post so gonna have to wait. The guy what designs then will do anything you want all custom made.

    Oh nice. I bought an 06 9-3 aero yesterday and have been looking into this. I'm going to do this mod, but I might program the Rasp Pi myself.
  • Hay thanks its nice to see the younger generation appreciate the saab enegening I'm a 50 year old who worked on 900 at European auto works in Vermont for 11 years I have been through it all. I have owned saab for 16 until today a saab 9-3 in the yard yes I have done a valve job on it if I can be of any advice let me know

    I have a 9-3 se convertible with the original stock head unit. I’ve been dying to do an upgrade like this. I’ve seen some people put the original Saab gps unit in the car. Takes a bit of rewiring, but hey! You get that glorious blue and red griffin on start up.
  • @junkman6456
    Nice mod Jake. Suggest first move the headunit in, route the wiring harness, then the acc unit. With 2 fingers up and 2 down you find the perfect space for all the headunit cables. \edit this thin cable names 'flat cable or flat ribbon cable'

    Saab unleashed is awesome got my stereo for my 9-5 he recommended a good one hopefully he makes one for the 08 9-3
