Finally got the loom extension and programmed/installed it today. I'm amazed it worked first try, soldering pins that small (Especially the bluetooth module) was sketchy, super difficult to see if there are any solder bridges. It works perfectly. Steering wheel buttons work to pause/skip tracks, no ...

He has? That's depressing... At the same time though, it was for sale for ages without any buyers, might have been junked if it didn't sell. I'll wait for the video to see what he does, but even if the other guy fixes his turbo and manifold, I bet all that 900 would need is the wastegate tied shut, ...

Beautiful looking 99. I'm holding out for a two door notchback but I texted the guy, it starts and idles but needs a battery, tune up and exhaust. The price is more than right...it just had to be a 4-door

Have you found a source for either the gears or the cover? The block I'm rebuilding had a seriously scored timing cover/pump cover and gears. I grabbed a used one that has pretty light scoring but I'm having trouble telling if the end float is slightly in spec or out of spec. How scratched/scored is...

I got 3.2. One of the leds has the polarity marker on the back side. Looks like a green "T". The other ones are visible from the top, one side next to where you solder it on is colored. Still have not programmed it though. Got my 900 torn apart to replace what seems to be the original (Sup...

Great, glad they arrived safely. Definitely a must have tool for wiring and happy to pass along at a reasonable price. For those who bought tools, these work on the following terminals and probably more: Junior Power Timer Standard Power Timer I ought to write something up on the Saab terminals and...

Wewlads! Got the boards and just put one together. I talked with one of the designers after I noticed there are 6 ground pins under the RN-52 bluetooth module that can't be soldered, he said don't worry about them. If you could get to them, it might improve range but he's never bothered and it works...

You better keep that car, otherwise I might end up getting the money together and making a road trip

Since I didn't have the money... I'm putting a turbo on my 2.1 900s. If it blows up I get to blame you, right?

Some interesting cars showed up in my area: http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/5456056352.html 1968 SAAB 95 V4 wagon OF DOOM Body: The Beast isn't pretty. She's blue, mostly, with a few dents and scrapes and weird shades here and there - the rear seat has a seat back, but no seat bottom. I've no i...

Well? I've been excited for the results!

How'd it go?

Sure thing, I'm still waiting for them to get here though. Got my electrical components today and the cd changer connectors.

Just ordered 4 of the cd changer connectors, 3 boards and one set of the components to make a single board. Should be here in two weeks or so if anyone wants me to be the test subject.

Crap, forgot about that. You do need either a programmer or a FTDI cable to burn a bootloader, sorry. http://bluesaab.blogspot.com/ Look at the third picture, the finished board. At the bottom left is a row of pins, that is where the FTDI cable plugs into. I didn't realize they had that on the board...

How tricky is programming the chips? I saw a cable they recommend to write the program but haven't gone far into learning how to actually do it. I know someone who has built some Arduino stuff that can hopefully give me some basic guidance. Pretty simple, easiest way is to get a cheap arduino or ar...

Funny you should ask, I was just on OSH park ordering some boards I made to mess around with CANBUS and saw that. I'm probably going to order a few boards and make one for my girlfriends 9-5, I added bluetooth to it awhile ago using the telephone input but it isn't the greatest quality, you can hear...
