  1. Audio, Video, Navigation & Security
    so I was all set to replace the antenna mast on my '06 9-3 vert, together with the amplifier, which some kid destroyed when they broke my antenna. I went at the nut which holds the rectangular black plastic housing through which the antenna mount on the amplifier slides, into which the mast...

    So I picked up a 06 93 convertible. After a few key repairs everything is working great but the FM radio reception. The antenna was a little crooked so I stuck my hand up under the lid to straighten it out and realized the antenna isn't to anything..lol (see photo). Appear someone cut it off...

    I had the issue where turning on the rear window heating caused interference on the radio. I removed the suppression filter connecting the window antenna element to the chassis, and out of curiosity I tested the radio (without replacing the filter). Turns out the reception is great now - no...
  4. C900 Workshop
    Has anyone found suitable non-motorised 'whip' or similar style radio (am fm) antennas that can replace original (or aftermarket) motorised antennas on either sedan or hatchback c900's. Way back when (over 10 years ago) I found a whip type antenna to suit hatchbacks but have never looked into...

  7. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    My radio reception has gotten kind of bad over the past few months. This is on my 04 vert. So I decided to try replacing the antenna mast which is supposed to just screw on or off. I ordered a replacement not OEM as they are backordered. So it came today and I tried to unscrew the old one and...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi - I read quite a few posts, but not of them match up to quite fix my problem. 2005 9-3 Linear Sedan Radio was working fine, and I added an aux input via an FM modulator. When all was put together, the antenna seemed to quit working - nothing but static with modulator on or off. The...

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a problem I have been having! I have had my 2004 Saab 9-3 for about a year now and I have always had issues with radio reception. It is the original radio, no aftermarket parts. My cd player is jammed and this saab has no aux cord plug in...

    Call me crazy but I can't fit the brass base of my new power antenna mast into the threaded brass housing that is attached to the car. I can get the silver antenna sheath to fit into the threaded brass housing, but I can't fit the very base of the antenna (the part with the brass circle around)...
  11. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So, I just bought a 2005 Saab 9-3 and I am in love, however I want to add an FM modulator, but I can not figure out how to access the antenna port on the radio to make the connection. I have also notice that there is some static on the radio, I believe there may be a loss connection from the...

    Morning guys, Just got myself a 2003 9-5 Aero manual with a good spec (115k), got a few little bits that need doing, got a Haynes with it but not much use for what I need! :( Can anyone shed any light on these things for me? Rear washer not working, pump goes, last owner says there's a 1way...
  13. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    My front and rear windshield trim/molding has been dry rotting and I want to replace it. Is it just a trim or is it the actual molding? Any recommendations on where I can get it and how difficult it is to DIY? The second item is the antenna cover, it blew off on the interstate, the white piece...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    Hiiii, I just bought an '03 9-5 turbo 2.3 and while ive fixed up the insides, I'm still doing cosmetic stuff. The plastic cover of my antenna is absolutely destroyed/ugly and I want to replace it, But instead with a replica shark fin (that's not form-fitting). Ya know, sort of a play on the...
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    If you drive a Viggen and you have the original antenna, like me, you are probably embarrassed by it. It's flaking apart, the gasket and antenna are just terrible. A few months ago I looked up the parts, antenna 5262480 and base 5122460, thinking I would replace it. I was shocked to find out...

    Hey all, Kinda new to the forum, I have a 06 CV and I noticed the other day that my entire FM antenna was missing (mast and base). I listen to XM so I have no idea when it was ripped off. All that is left is the bolt that holds it to the tonneau cover. I have scoured google and the...

    trying to install a Dice universal integration RDS kit to connect ipod to radio. It works by connecting to the antenna which is typically on the back of a car radio. However, with SAAB it is no where to be found. Not on back of radio, not in trunk, not in passenger side c-pillar as the...
