The dealer has to use a TECH-2 computer to program the SID for your car. It doesn't need marrying like the audio units, but the SID needs to know things like what engine and gearbox you have. Once his has been done the SID can be removed and installed as often as you wish. The TECH-2 is also needed if you move a SID between cars that are close in age but with different engines. If the cars are too far away age-wise then they may need a different SID, e.g. the gearbox buttons on newer automatics requires a SID with software that understands that the steering wheel has more buttons. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
