Hey guys. I was doing some fine tuning to my wire routing today for the handsfree kit and decided to do a little experiment. I have a Blaupunkt single DIN radio unit that I used in my previous car. It was working fine when I took it out in April and was sitting on a shelf since. I decided to see if it would work with Saab, since it has exactly same layout of connectors in the back (double ISO connectors with the same pin assignment and german style antenna connector). So I put it in, it fits perfectly, but doesn’t work. I read before that some people don’t get sound right because of the amp but their head units work. Mine didn’t turn on at all. No power, no nothing. Another weird thing – after turning ignition on SID displayed the info on how many keys and transponders are programmed to the car (normally displayed when you press “trunk open” button but I didn’t press it). That was puzzling… I then took it out and put the stock (pioneer) head unit back and everything worked fine. Oh, I have the SE version with HK setup.
So my question is why my Blaupunkt didn’t work? Does the stock head have to be divorced before any (even aftermarket) other unit is plugged in? Can Saab computer cut the power to radio if the stock head is not responding and was not divorced properly? Or is there something wrong with my Blaupunkt (unlikely, fairly new unit, known to be very sturdy, and worked perfect last time I checked)?
Thanks!
