Dummy aerial


Cars affected

Saab 9-3 M01 from VIN 12046130.

Background

The cars are prepared for installation of a mobile telephone. There are two levels of preparation:


Telephone preparation (TEL 0) with dummy aerial fitted to the roof

Hand-free preparation (TEL 1) with telephone aerial fitted to the roof


The aerial and the dummy have the exact same appearance.

If the car owner later wishes to fit his car with hands-free equipment, you can easily check to see if the car is equipped with an aerial or a dummy.

Procedure


To identify whether the car is equipped for "TEL 0" or "TEL 1", use a torch to shine through the microphone grille. A black microphone is visible behind the grille in a "TEL 1" car. There is a white cover behind the grille in a "TEL 0" car.

The following accessories are required to retrofit hands-free equipment:

Adapter network, mobile telephone connection (400 129 078)

Mobile telephone aerial (see EPC/EAC)
