I bought a 2009 Saab 9-7x a few years ago, so as you can guess, the DVD is hopelessly outdated. Thanks for the info!
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
You are a true ❤️SAAB Genius 👍👍👍
Thanks for info😊
Wow, I am really surprised that there is someone like you who work really hard and as professional and have excellent knowledge and at the end just got a few subscribers! You deserve millions subscribers. Man is there any way to donate for you? I want to improve your effort and for enthusiasm in your upcoming videos
Thank you for your enthusiasm and kind words!! I love helping others out and sharing knowledge, so it's always refreshing to hear positive feedback! If you would like to donate I do have a paypal: grrepasky@student.ysu.edu Any donations are much appreciated and will be used for future Saab projects! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Thanks for your video, it's really helpful and informative. Now you really need to add rear OEM backup camera and front if you want also Apple car play or screen mirroring to make your vehicle too modern. Let me know if you need the required tools information.
Thank you! I would love to add a back up camera but I'm stumped on activating it on the Saabs nav unit. Are you referring to the navtool unit? Not sure I can justify spending that much for those features though. www.navtool.com/saab-saab-9-3-2007-2012-hdmi-interface.aspx
@@WeakestofWeeks Sorry for late response, I was traveling, but yep, from that site you can get what you need to make sure that your NAV isn't outdated
I look forward to watching video how to update software and install rear camera in Sat Nav unit. Do You think it is possible to watch dvd video on this unit after update?
What Saturn VUE part number, or year am I searching, for the nav control board? I'm considering getting a Saab 2 DIN nav display for my 07 Saab 9-3 2.0T, and would like to have a somewhat updated map. Thanks for the cool video!
How did you get rid of GPS logo with a redline there, mine is showing exactly the same and it is placing me at a random place on the map
Update for all you guys trying this. I did the exact same thing, my Saturn unit happened to come with the updated disk in the video but I still get intermittent DVD map read error but I did get it to work briefly. There's a link in one of these videos for the aliexpress unit which should work. I accidentally damaged the ribbon cable that goes from the bottom to the DVD board and swapped that as well so now my unit at least works. Some things to note: Night Panel will not work anymore and it looks like I am unable to set time. Everytime I try and set the clock, it reverts back to 12:00. I did some brief reading and it may be a result of not having the GPS antenna but I won't know for sure until it arrives. Perhaps one of you can chime in? Also, if you're looking to keep the stock look but just want bluetooth, there is a BlueLogic device which takes over the XM input (if you have it) I can confirm it only works with the nav unit but it works and sounds great. There is a video on RUclips of someone installing it in a Turbo X.
I cant even eject DVD because there is something wrong with my mechanical componentes. I press eject button only hear sound trying but front wont open at all
Are there any .iso files of these knocking about? It's got to be easy enough to burn?
Hello, I have a problem, I have the same navi us canada and it does not play European maps. I can do something to play them, I have the car in Europe.
Great video. Thanks! So here's a thought...would a saturn sat nav unit install directly into a saab without having to swop out that board?

I just got the 2011 Saab 93 and my sob comes with this radio do you have a in-depth video of how to use all the controls?
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
Is this only for the facelifted 08+ models? My 06 has the DVD satnav unit.
Also did you have to connect the speed wire separately
Speed wire was connected and shown in my SatNav install video series.
So with out this trick it is impossible to have updated map with oryginal disk ?
Correct, you're limited to GM disk updates. It seems as if you may still be able to get updates for the factory disk if you're in Europe. At one point I stumbled on a website with more recent maps but sadly isn't for the United States folks. That's why I ended up modifying mine to use a GM disk.

Hey, really great vids. Do you have any idea what is controlling the boot screen logos? Would like to update mine, but I dont reeealy want to loose my Saab boot screen for a Delphi or god knows what from aliexpress...
Thanks! I'm not entirely sure if the boot screen is based on the navigation module (swapped in this vid) or maybe by the disk? I would think more module related since when I first installed my Saab SatNav the navigation disk drive didn't work but still booted the Saab logo. It only changed once I swapped the nav module from the Saturn unit. I thought the Saturns booted with there logo and not Delphi though. Hopefully someone with more electronics experience can provide a solid answer.
@@WeakestofWeeks There's got to be somebody out there with a flash hack to bring back the dear old Saab logo (most likely flashed in ROM). I'm thinking about purchasing a nav unit for my 07 2.0T sedan. Delphi doesn't bother me, but Saab is much more cool! And I like how you placed the nav antenna, smack on top of the unit in the dash! I wonder if an old XM magnetic antenna would work? I have one that I don't use. Great video!
Also can a unit from a Saturn Vue go in Saab 9 3
No the Saturn unit won't marry via tech 2 but you can use components from it to refurbish and upgrade the Saabs unit.
Have you thought about retro fitting units and selling them?
Not really. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of time on the side and what free time I do have I try to share some knowledge on here for free.
Has anybody tried one of the same radios from a GM with backup camera and USB input option?
Yes, they wont "marry" to the car via tech2 once VIN locked. I want to try a factory unlocked GM satnav radio from say a buick (the truck variants are different) and see if that works. They're way over priced so I doubt I'll ever get to test that
This is from a year ago, have you found any way to update it even more?
The only other way to fully modernize your SatNav radio after this video is with a NavTool. It enables screen mirroring and many other features but is expensive: www.navtool.com/saab-saab-9-3-main-category.aspx
@@WeakestofWeeks I currently have a regular infotainment but have debated getting the nav. Just not 100% sure. Thank you !
Any idea if this would work with NG95 2010.?
For some reason I thought you can still get map updates for the NG9-5
any recommendations on where to find a nav radio ?
Probably best to source used from ebay or Facebook marketplace
Hi!! perfect!!! can you post video navigation??? maps 2019???
Hello! No 2019 maps yet but I will have a video coming out soon showing the updated maps.
@@WeakestofWeeks Thanks!!!!!!!! I buyed SATNAV maps of 2017, and its ok!!
Do you happen to have a link to the 2017 maps you bought?
@@WeakestofWeeks its ok, its fine!

Part number for the saturn part?
AJAA029863 is the number on the Saturn navigation module. Whether you can buy just that I'm not entirely sure.
@@WeakestofWeeks I freeze framed that number and I got no result. The part number is etched in the frame. The ribbon cable that loops over the bottom pcb got damaged and I'm hoping the Saturn one is compatible.
My phone does all this. Why does the car need to
It's not about "needing" to update the radio. Of course there's more efficient ways to go about navigation these days since these cars were produced. This video was the product of an experiment to update the factory radio and keep the vehicle as stock looking as possible and it happened to work.
Where you buy UNIT GM-?
Bought both the Saab nav unit and the Saturn unit from ebay.
@@WeakestofWeeks link, please! thanks!!!!
Did you have to marry with tech 2
If unplugging an already installed SatNav to fix a disk drive error and plugging back in you should not need to remarry to the car. However, if you're retrofitting a SatNav into the car that never had a SatNav you will need to marry with a tech 2.
