ACCORDING T THE INSTRUCTIONS I GO FROM MITCHELL I NEED A TECH 2 PROGRAMER. WHERE CAN I BUY OR BORROW ONE
hey just replacing a sid unit in a [9-5] does not require u to remove radio & then for u to be needing a radio coded to vehicle ,r u replacing the radio unit with a new ,because for a 9-5 the radios r married to a vehicle for life unless u diverse it from that vehicle ,[I J S] .
I bought the car used. The SID was broken so I could not see any of the messages. Once I repaired that I could see that it was asking for a radio code. Maybe, the previous owner replaced the unit. I know radios are married to the car and it should not need to be married again if it is the same unit. But, I don't have the whole history since I bought it like that.
well then u will need to take the vehicle to your nearest saab service dealer to have them perform the ceremony wear a jacket & tie LOL ,anyway that is your only option taking the car to dealer .good luck .
