I am assuming that OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. Sometimes it is also called "other equipment manufacturer " but you do mean SAAB-- correct? Why would a non- SAAB thermostat be different than the original ? If they claim computability shouldn't they operate the same way as well? How does one know ? And would defeating this feature have a possible negative consequence? As it appears to be quite intentionally designed that way , it could be of some necessity or importance? Going around it may have be risky with unintended consequences - like over heating and serious engine damage. Thanks again
