First question that I have, is your radio working or did they not fix that ? So do you have any sound or not ?
The reason I am asking this, I have removed a so called Dension Gateway 500 from the car before I sold it, as the unit was worth 500 euro. This unit acts like a CD changer but in reality has got many more options like connecting Ipods, USB etc. Then I could use the steering wheel controls to control the audio and skip MP3 files etc.
As the Saab does have an optic loop, basically fiber optic bus that needs to be closed otherwise the audio does not work. As I removed the Dension gateway (from the right, behind the glove box on the right side of the dashboard… you will need to remove some torx screws) I left the Optic cable on the vehicle as I was not sure I was going to sell it so I was able to put the Dension back in as needed.
So If your audio is not working… closing the fiber optic bus will help you…. One of the ways todo that would be to put a new gateway in… or buy mine (I have it on an auction site for 250 euro at the moment) Another way is to buy a loopback adapter and put that on.

If you remove the glove box (dashboard… right side…) you will find an orange optic cable there that used to be connected to my Dension Gateway 500.
http://www.dension.com/sites/default/fi ... guide1.pdf all you would have todo is to connect either a device to it … or connect the in/out with an adapter…
It is also possible todo that behind the radio I think… The ICM is in tact and working !

Eu: "So...let's see if I got it right this time...I attached a picture. The blue line marks the place where the loopback connector goes. Am I right?"
> Correct ! Or the easiest way is to shortcut the optic cable just below where the Dension is… there is a plug there on the orange cable… light will come from one end and should go in at the other… then the bus will work.

Eu: "OK...so, the shortcut can be done with the connectors that are now in the car or I must buy the loopback connector that you sent me in a previos mail. "
> I do not think you can shortcut the bus without adapters, but it might be possible to do so at the back of the ICM, I have never had a look there but I suppose that is where the cable is connect so it might be possible to shortcut there… Anything that is able to connect the two fiber optic cables will work… other car brands like BMW and Mercedes use the same sort of cable I think.
Dispozitivul introdus a functionat impreuna cu celelalte. Pe grila este un suport de la brodit (
www.brodit.se) care alimenteaza un GPS. Celalalt este un kit handsfree bluetooth prin care razpunzi la telefon, vorbesti la un microfon localizat undeva langa oglinda retrovizoare si auzi conversatia in boxele masinii. Dispozitivul in sine functioneaza dar nu se aude nimic in boxe. De fapt, la momentul de fata, nu exista nici un fel de sunet in masina...nici macar clikurile semnalizatoarelor.
