Thumbs up on the video for the new steering wheel? 😄👍🏼
I have a tech ll, where do I go to marry new steering wheel?
Aero steering wheel has to be programmed in with a Tech 2 like you said
That's true. Especially when you wish to use the shift paddles.
thanks
@@AutoAutopsy i am also in the process of the restoration of my Saab. About to do my rear seal afterwards my Stage 3 programming.
You have to marry the paddles with Tech II
thanks
It's under accessories
Saab for life 💪
I've done the same mistake on my car. Put everything back together without the screw. I realised it when I was driving in my parking lot lol.
Haha!
I had a Saab 9-5... close to my favorite car of all time (and I’ve owned a LOT of cars) - but I’d say the only thing I never had to replace on that car, after spending $10k keeping a $1,000 going, was the steering wheel.
that is all
lol? :/
Massively Awesome! Been afraid to touch that due to previous failures. The buttons on mine fail to work most of the time, and I wanted to replace them, but could not get the bag out. Thanks!!!
Betting you just need a Tech2 programming to work. Be interesting to know. Frankly it seems like the wheel button shifting is a bit delayed on my Aero, compared to just using the bumpstick.
Interesting, I guess I’ll have to see
i was about to comment the tech2 part. seconding that i bet you can program it.
Forgetting a bolt happens to all of us :)
:)
OMGOODNESS I LOVE ❤️ SAABS SO MUCH!!!
😁
You might also need to check the Boss CIM if Tech2 doesn't work. There might not be the connections for them.
🤣🤣 I watched this entire video about 5 times before putting my new wheel on and I still managed to forget that bolt! 🥴🍩
Lol oh no:(
Where did you find an Aero wheel that's not separating?!
Also I had my recall done a few years ago. Quick and painless.
Also, did you check if that airbag was a Takata one? Or if it had been replaced with an Autoliv or Delco one?
Haha, from my buddy who runs Southwest Saab! Good parts source
@@AutoAutopsy Wonder if he has any more. Mines starting to do that separating thing by the silver parts.
How do, you will need to Tech 2 the paddles into the program. ;)
thanks
I've always wanted to see somebody try this. Can you please get the settings changed with a Tech 2 and do a follow-up video? I have an aero and a 2.0t and I'd like to do the same on my 2.0. You can buy the VCX Nano and do the programming yourself. You'll be in it for less than $200, which is way less than going to q shop with a Tech 2.
I might not do an entire video on it, but I'll certainly mention it, or if i get a future comment asking I'll address there as well!
I have an -06 9-3 Sportcombi and im going to get a steering wheel like this looks awsome. I dont need padle shifters cause i have an 5 speed manual.
nice!
Hi! Nice vid, have you figured out how to make paddles work? Thanks!
You needed a tech2 to enable paddle shifters. You’d that sorted out since this video I guess 😅
I’m about to switch my Vector steering to Aero too, I’ve find a bargain absolutely mint condition from UK, except I drive a manual and the buttons are exactly the same, just clip back the airbag and I’m done 👌
yep! I figured it out shortly after haha. thanks!
I have also heard that paddle shifters must be supported by TCM module and early modules dont support it, but dont know that from my own .... autopsy ....hehe . If you program it and tcm is not supporting it, then no errors on dash, if tcm expets to see shifters and they are not there - dtc, cheers
Haha, thanks for the info
took me a while to get a feel for those steering wheel release prongs but once you get a feel for it they just pop out. And yes, you need Tech 2 to marry the paddle shifters, if that option is even available, i guess only way to find out is to connect Tech2
Yessir, fingers crossed itll work with this model year
The paddle shifters are made only for the V6 turbo. Maybe the 2.0t does not have the wiring for them?
No it just needed to be “added” with the tech2
I think carbon fiber would look cool on the interior of the ‘03 Saab 9-3
For sure!
Still not said where that cars been all this time 😒
I hope you manage to fix the buttons, because they really motivate me to use the manual mode, its no DCT, but it can be fun.
Agree :)
Aero steering wheel is smaller than 9-3 standards SW?
They’re all the same diameter to my knowledge
Did the same
Thing on my 04 when I had it!
Nice!
Was it the same process?
You have to tech 2 it
yep! Thanks
Hey can I put my non aero 04 air bag on my new 08 aero wheel
You can't. :/
Did you end up having to use the Tech 2 for the paddle shifters? I just picked up an 08 Aero steering wheel air bag included for my 05 Aero I'm hoping compatibility is good!
Yes I did! compatibility works :)
Do you have the steps/procedure or know of it posted anywhere?
Do all Saab 9-3s have that button module on the positive terminal on the battery. I had a few of them and some had and some didn’t. My 2008 9-3 does not start and I noticed it’s missing that.
i don't know; i'd ask online in a facebook group
Any website in particular you go to for parts? Looking for door trim pieces/maybe a new head unit

Very interested how this play out .... I driving a 04 arc convertible and my parts car is a 04 aero convertible (fully drivable, strong engine runs great) the front nose clip very damage).
I wanted to switch steering wheels because of the paddles shifter, .... thinking I would have to switch out the computers as well or a modular on the transmission.....
Let me know your end solution -
yep, just need to program the buttons with a tech2; very easy
man the old '03 airbag wiring harness can be used on the new gen airbag? or you have bought also a wiring harness for the new one?
Thanks
not too sure on that one, but my guess would be no
What should i do if i only get a new steering wheel with the airbag not included? Is there a way to trasnfer the old airbag to the new steering wheel?
Depends on the year. There's two different types of airbags
@@AutoAutopsy Mine is from 2003, and the one i want to buy is from 2007
Hello was you able to get the peddle shifters to work
tech2
For airbag retainer clips do I push inward to center or outward towards edges?
From the outside towards the center of the steering wheel. It'll take you a few tries, but be patient.
^
metric size on nut tool is a huge hex head???
Huh?
I've just changed my steering wheel... How will I know if it's a recalled airbag?!!
Find out from whoever you got the wheel from
Hows the airbag in the 9-5 2005 ?
No recall on those; only 9-3’s of certain years
Hey I wanted to leave a quick comment on your video do you know the proper way to remove the ABS traction light and brake light from coming on my 2007 93 Saab aero it says stability control lost
you'll need to hook up a tech2 to start diagnosing what the problem could be
@@AutoAutopsy I have loss communication solitude yaw rate sensor (U2142-00 ) loss communication with steering wheel angle sensor(U2143-00) and loss with C.I.M (U2139-00) again any help I’d appreciate at rims great steers great or as far as I think it does as this is my first saab and if you have any link or links with decent saab parts for sale used or new I’d appreciate it brother
hello! which size of screw is it? T50?
it's a hex screw, but torx could work too.
was it possible to program the paddle shift?
Yep, just had to “add” the steering wheel with a tech2
@@AutoAutopsy Great! thanks for the answer
what’s your exhaust setup? it sounds so good!
thanks! ua-cam.com/video/2Ix3DyX5-To/v-deo.html
Did you get the paddle shifters working? My 06 Aero doesn’t have paddle shifters. Somebody deleted them off the factory options list. Boo.
yes; and it would have it, it's probably just a wheel from a manual car
Nope. They aren’t on the factory options sheet for my car. I think they were an a option on UK cars?
Whats your exhaust setup on these?
See here, it's custom: ua-cam.com/video/3sbfPWl68GY/v-deo.html
@@AutoAutopsy sounds mint🤙🏼
hi, what exhaust is it on this car?
custom 3" system
how do i find ? 9-5 radio code 2003
Tech 2 will be needed to marry it
But.. Why? i like the non airo steeringwheel better
I never used a 9-3 aero steering wheel but it looks like it would be uncomfortable. Without the aluminum bits it would be nice
@@alexsaab8089 ive used the aero steering wheel for years, and its not uncomfortable at all (IMO)
It's actually much more comfortable than the old one lol, but I can see where you're coming from! TX wheel > this > arc wheel
Find someone with a Tech2 and security access. You'll have sentronic in 5 mins.
Thanks :)
You will NOT be able to get the paddle shifters working on your 2003. When programming the CIM module, you program the paddle shifter option at that time. 2003 software does not factor in paddle shifters and hence will not work on your 2003 Saab 9-3. Marrying modules = programming a module to communicate with the other modules currently on that vehicle bus communication system. This is not marrying issue. Instead, this is about setting up parameters to be flashed to the CIM module based upon year, make, and model of the vehicle in question. I AM THE SAAB GOD AND I HAVE SPOKEN!
:'(
Thanks for replying to my post. Everyday is a new day and you learn - I learned! I learned that it is possible (although I have never experienced it) through this channel that you can indeed use paddle shifting from 2006 and up steering wheels on 2003 and 2004 9-3. Because I use local software on my laptop (i.e. I don't go to the epsiportal.com/Site/SAAB website) to do the programming, I was thinking this wasn't possible. I know on my 2006 V6 Aero, you can actually program the CIM module to either turn on the paddle shifting or turn it off. Hence I was thinking this was a software issue whereby the CIM needed to be properly programmed so that it could bus the shifting request of the driver to the transmission control module .....hey.. .what do I know!!??
J’ai le même modèle. Je préfère le noir que l’argenté. Mais c’est joli quand-même 😊
