Hmm, with the size of the market and complexity of the system...?
Just think of it, for the adapter to work until it has to be "married" to the system. Even if they reverse engineer the protocol, you still have to go to your dealer for Tech2 programming. And Saab may prohibit the dealers from "marriyng" non-Saab components.
So "quirky" Saab engineers win this time - the only way to have a decent hook-up is to buy a Saab accessory (of which, only an overpriced CD-changer is currently available).
The good news is that Saab avandonded this strategy - the new 9-3SS finally has a built-in Auxiliary input. Does anyone know whether the same is available on 9-5 with a Nav system?
