Mobile Phone fitting

[Steve Read]

Does anyone know how easy it is to fit a Saab mobile phone holder. I know it does not damage the facia and I wonder if the connections are staight forward and how much they cost (ball park) and are they different fro fitti g to a 99 model as opposed to a 2000 onwards?


Thanks

had mine done for me - a few things though
1. the plastic binnacle fits without damaging the dashboard - but it does screw into the car below the carpet - cost £40ish

2. in order for the phone to fully integrate with the car's audio system you'll need a wiring loom extension - be carefull earlier 9-5s have one loon - later 9-5s share one with the 9-3! cost £35ish

3. when you use the loom the phone automatically cuts out the stereo, you don't need speakers and - allegedly- you don't need a microphone as there's already one built into the head unit - this is not reccomended as it's designed for lefthand drive cars! I have a separate mike fitted and it works well.

4. My fitter told me that the Saab has a built in phone aerial - THIS IS NOT TRUE - you need an external aerial.


Overall I would say that this is the best in-car phone kit that I have used

If I can help any more then let me know :lol: :lol:
