Hello,

does anyone know if I can install Saab 93 CD player to Saab 900 NG 1997?
I know that Saab 900 NG has Clarion and Saab 93 - Pioneer CD player.
Will SID show information?

Thank you.

I don't think anyone's ever tried that. The basic functionality should work, but since the data bus is completely different in the 9-3, the display and speed-dependent volume probably won't work, and the steering wheel controls definitely wouldn't work since the NG900 never had those. You'd also have a black radio in your grey dashboard, and you'd be stuck with a cassette deck, although a C-Bus changer could be connected.

You have to have a CD changer, and you have to hack into the CD changer cable. The radio won't switch to CD mode unless a CD changer is connected. The other option is the tape input hack, which involves some soldering and taking apart your radio. Search the BB for "tape input hack" or "CD cable hack" and you should find more information on those.
