The main unit and CD changer (CDC) on the Saab 9-3 are equipped with a new type of theft protection. The main unit and CD changer are both connected to the I bus. When the main unit and CD changer are first installed, they are married to the vehicle. This is a process which is performed by means of Tech 2. During the marriage the main unit and CD changer identify the theft protection information from the vehicle. From this moment in time the main unit and CD changer will only work in this particular vehicle. Consequently, no radio code is needed in the Saab 9-3.

This also means that if the main unit and CD changer are removed from a Saab 9-3 and are not to be refitted in the same vehicle, they must be divorced from the vehicle before being removed.


Note

• If the main unit or CD changer are DIVORCED, the SID displays “RADIO CODE” or “CDC CODE” respectively when activated. See ,

• If the main unit or CD changer are still married to another Saab 9-3, the SID displays “RADIO LOCKED” or “CDC LOCKED” respectively when activated. Divorcing either of the units by means of Tech 2 must be done with the unit installed in the vehicle it is married to. See ,




Important

The main unit and CD changer must be divorced before they are returned for repair under warranty. The suppliers cannot divorce them and will invoice for all units linked together that are sent to them.
