Here are some photos of the installation: Installation by trunk harness (9-5 Estate, 1999-2005)
Method no.3
Installation by soldering (without Hands-Free)
The BT-Chanert can also be installed by soldering with a little skill. There is no need to cut the wire for connection, it is only necessary to connect it to the cable harness behind the head unit.
Important!
- The wire coming from pins 20. 22. and 25 of the head unit connector must be joined together and the gray wire (audio GND) of the BT Changer must be connected to it.
- The wire coming from pins 21 and 23 of the head unit connector must be joined together and the yello wire (audio right) of the BT Changer must be connected to it.
- If the car has a CD changer, its connector must be unplugged.
- Hands-free expansion: If you connect a factory microphone to the wiring harness, the Hands-Free function can be activated. Blue/black MIC+ (pin1), gray black MIC GND (pin3)

Method no.4
Installation by soldering (with Hands-Free)
To use the hands-free mode, the BT Changer can also be connected using a special OG-HF cable, provided that the factory microphone and phone connector are available. The cable is made with two connectors—one for the BT Changer and the other for connecting to the phone preparation wiring. In addition, the CAN wire (green/white) and the audio connection (yellow/orange/grey) must be soldered to the factory head unit wiring.
Important!
- The wire coming from pins 20 and 25 of the head unit connector must be joined together and the gray wire (audio GND) of the BT Changer must be connected to it.
- If the car has a CD changer, its connector must be unplugged.

USAGE
By pressing the CD button twice, you can activate the BT Changer as if it were a CD Changer.
The BT Changer automatically switches to Bluetooth mode during operation, but for exemple by pressing the “1” CD button you can switch back from WIFI mode.
Pairing
A new mobile device can be paired by pressing (long press!) the “SEEK” button. The display will then show “Pairing”. A successful pairing is indicated by “Pair Success”.
Display metadata on the SID
BT Changer can display the following meta data in both rows of the factory SID display.
- Artist: the performer of the song
- Album: the title of the album
- Title: title of the track
- No meta: only the BT Changer text or the custom text on the display
- All text off: remove all text, the factory specifications are visible
By pressing the “4” DC button, you can select the contents of the first row and the “5” DC button you can select the content of the second row. Unfortunately, due to the physical limitations of the factory Saab SID display, only 12 characters are visible. By pressing the “2” DC button, the current metadata scrolls on the SID.
