The purpose of this communication is to give you some more details on the optional hands-free phone preparation available on 2005 9-3 models. This is part of either the Premium Package (Linear), Driver's Package (Arc) or Touring Package (Aero).
If you are not sure if a particular vehicle has this feature, an easy way to check is by squeezing the shark-fin antenna housing to see if there is a cell antenna inside the outer rubber cover. All 9-3 sedans have a shark-fin on the roof even if there is no phone preparation. In these cases, the outer rubber cover will squeeze together or bend easily. For convertibles, only those with the phone preparation will have the shark-fin antenna mounted on the trunk lid.
The phone preparation includes the following:
External shark-fin antenna
Microphone in the overhead console
Multi-pin connector in the center console behind the storage area
Associated wiring that links these components to each other
Note that the coax cable for the roof/trunk antenna is not part of the vehicle's multi-pin connector or accessory harness 12 801 584. It is a separate cable also located in the forward center console area. This cable needs to be connected separately to the phone cradle in order to enable the roof/trunk mounted antenna.
Important note: This is not a Bluetooth wireless installation. This feature requires a physical connection between the cell phone and the vehicle's electrical and audio systems. Bluetooth technology is not available on Saab cars sold in the U.S. market.
This feature will allow use of a cell phone via the car's audio system. The following functions are enabled after installing a cell phone.
When an incoming call is detected, the audio system will be muted
The driver must press the normal "answer" button on their cell phone keypad to connect the call
The driver can then converse using the overhead microphone to speak and listen through the audio system speakers
End the call by pressing the normal "end call" button on the cell phone keypad
The audio system will resume playing as before the incoming call
The listening volume of the conversation can be adjusted with the volume controls on the steering wheel or the knob on the radio. Please note that neither the Phone, Press To Talk (PTT) buttons or the number keypad on the radio head unit (ES2 or ES3) have any function with this phone installation.
In order to utilize the hands-free feature, a few additional parts need to be installed. The following items can be found in "The Saab Accessories Catalog"
cradle mounting bracket (this is not the electrical phone cradle, just a mounting bracket for one)
