Installation
Step 1: Removing the radio
Locate a set of DIN keys, these will be essential to removing the radio. Insert one DIN key into the vertical holes on the
face of the radio, repeat for the opposing side. Once the keys have clicked in, and are not able to move further, gently pry
outward on the tools as you extract the radio from the fascia panel. Unclip the 26-pin male connector, antenna lead and
amplifier DIN lead (If equipped) from the rear of the radio. Place the unit aside. Reach inside the dashboard and press the
climate control unit out from the rear to allow access to the lower console.
Step 2: Removing the glove box
Open the glove box and pop the small hinged covers off the fasteners. Unscrew the T-25 screws revealed by prying off
the covers, then proceed to remove the clips on the side of the dashboard. Finally, unbolt the 10mm bolt in the bottom
right hand corner of the glove box (left hand for a RHD car). Slide the glovebox assembly out and downward.
Step 3: Installing the AudioTroll
The Chassis Harness Adapter is designed to be a bridge between the Saab’s dashboard wiring harness and the radio,
providing the adequate connections to the AudioTroll. Press the female connector of the harness adapter over the 26-pin
male connector from the dashboard harness, Carefully remove the AudioTroll from its static protection bag and connect
the DB-9 connector from the harness adapter to the AudioTroll unit. Now is probably a good time to figure out where you
want your iPod to sit when it is in the vehicle.
