jslanger:
If the code you have is the right one and isn't working maybe someone entered the wrong code too many times. If this happens, the radio kind of locks out.
On the later C900s I think it's similar to my 9000, and the drill I learned was, leave radio on, with ignition on accessory so it gets power, for a period of time, I think it's an hour, then push Band button, then try your code.
Do a search on here and you'll find the proper procedure, I'm pretty sure.
Saab dealers, if there still are any, can verify a code from the radio's serial number. If there's any doubt about the code pull the radio and visit a dealer or former dealer.
I pulled a radio from a junkyard 9000, went to dealer and got code, then hit the kind of wall you're at, also figuring it had to with the donor car having an in-dash CD player where mine had a trunk multi-disc changer. THEN it hit me that someone might have been fooling around keying in random numbers before I ever got the thing. Bingo, waited the hour, it worked fine.
