A word from Stu-
Saab Unleashed is a channel which started over lockdown and has evolved into a mixture of Saab-related shinanigans, car infotainment stuff and in-car tech reviews.
I've been doing these reviews for a couple of years now. The reviews are always based on my personal opinion and are NOT paid for by the manufacturers. This should be fairly obvious because I always talk about any negative points of products.
Sometimes I buy head units to review; sometimes I reach out to manufacturers asking them to provide me with a head unit to review, and sometimes they reach out to me. It is important to me that everyone knows that these free products will never change the outcome of my opinion, or the head unit final scores. If there are issues, believe me, everyone will know!
My intention is to ultimately create detailed, honest and matter-of-fact reviews for consumers and enthusiasts, not advertisements for the manufacturers.
Nowadays, I try to use affiliate links in the video descriptions wherever possible. Most of them are not affiliate links, but there are some, such as those directing to Amazon or eBay. This means that if you use one of my links to buy something, I might receive somewhere between 1-5% of the value of your purchase from the retailer (obviously no cost to you).
I set this up because running this channel costs money via video editing software, music licencing, (not to mention buying head units and most of my evenings and weekends!) and I don't get paid for the reviews.
Anyway, I appreciate all of my viewers and subscribers and I am open to any suggestions you might have for me to improve the content. - Фільми й анімація

the usb socket are fast charge ?
2 individual chargers inside all the "blanks" , and they support Qc.2.0 and 3.0 fastcharge
Hoping they bring out more products for the 9-3 NG
I swear this guy posts some of the best Saab content!
Well done guys, great job to preserve these legendary cars 😊
I have the voltmeter and usb ports in mine. Also washer fluid cap in black. Super easy to install, really good quality. Postage was pretty quick to the UK also.
Brilliant upgrades and I love the simplicity of fitting!
That volt meter is actually quite useful too. If you turn the key to 'on' but don't start the vehicle, the volts display will show you what the battery is outputting so you can check for a battery that may be getting close to replacement (anything under about 12.2V is considered weak), and if you start the vehicle then this will show what the _alternator_ is outputting so you can see if it's about to go out (less than about 12.6V). You can maybe catch an issue before it gets you stranded on the side of the road.
I had an old school voltmeter (made by VDO but Saab branded) on my 9000 and it was incredibly useful
@@nuttycommuter3718There are also ones that can plug into the cigarette lighter. Quite useful.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I had the set of three so voltage, oil temp and oil pressure and having that extra information just helped with looking after and driving the car - not giving it beans until the oil had warmed up for example. Often cars now don’t even have a water temp gauge
@@nuttycommuter3718Back when I drove a gas powered car I found those gauges very useful indeed. Now I have an electric car (a 2018 Kia Soul EV+) and it always does a system check of everything including the 12V accessory battery on startup. Very useful because even EVs can have problems if the 12V goes bad!
These are awesome! Tough choice between the cup holder and voltmeter to replace the coin slot. I’d be all over a usb extension to clean up my aftermarket setup
So well thought out and executed Absolutely brilliant.
They are flipping brilliant, I would certainly be interested in the usb extension for my aftermarket Teyes CC2 +
I've just shared this on the Facebook 'Saab nuts!' group.
I wish there was something like this for Subaru!! Well done, lads!
thank you for show casing these! I need to get some!
Cool, aren't they!
Excellent stuff
Awesome idea and implementation - NOW I'm free of the messing USB cables running all the place.
One note though: on 2001 9-5 Aero, there's no "torx screw" to loosen up as mentioned in the video's 1st step. One needs to slide the "vent assembly" slightly up and over from the bottom till it comes loose of the retaining hinges.
And then "wiggle" it slightly to have fully come off of the console to gain access to the back of it.
Other than that, it's a great addition - highly appreciate and highly recommend!
Seemingly the same steps to remove it on my 9-5 sedan from 99.
Id like to see more 9-3 ng products
Good Stuff.
Love it.
I would like parts to my Saab 9-5. 😍
The USB Extension thing is actually what i would buy instantly! Currently i have just 2 hanging cables. Lets see, maybe i can print my own one :D
Same here. Would be perfect for my aftermarket head unit.
Thank you so much
Hello, how did you retrofit Saab gravity sensors in order for the xenons auto-leveling to work? Is there a video that you made? I will really appreciate any instruction that you may have on that. Thanks!
I have a 2007 Australian spec 9-3 Aero with a CC2 Plus installed. A connected, dual USB socket insert for the blank switch position that's just to the right of the head unit space would be high on my must have list. I think that it's where the convertible has the switch for the rag top.
Thank you for your videos. I 'm looking for a head unit for a 2002 saab convertible. Apple car play with GPS and full steering functions. Can you direct me to which one of your videos works for this car. Thanks
Cool!
Cool channel. Must subscribe!
Can I ask your top 5 cabin upgrades for a 07 9-3x please? Stereo n gadgets etc
How do you pull of the rear vent/cigarette lighter module? It’s not clear in the video and I cannot get mine to budge.
My 95 wagon in the US does not have a set screw. I’d hate to break my console. Any input from anyone who knows how the rear center console is attached??
Nice features by the way. First and foremost, you need a new handbrake grip. 😅 Take a look at 5:50
Are these only available to buy printed already or can you also buy the files and print it yourself?
👍
Great video, have you got a link for the head unit and surround please as yours looks perfect. Thanks
You'll find those links on my channel, in the video description for the Teyes CC2 install video
@@SaabUnleashed sorry I just found it. I had a cheap ebay one and did the job but didn't sit quite flush and got quite irratating to look at. Thanks 👍
How do you connect the other USB ports around the steering wheel? Where do the electrical connections go?
To the lighter socket on the dash
What make/model is the Head unit in your 9-5, can you still utilise the steering wheel controls for the audio settings?
The steering wheel controls work with pretty much all aftermarket units, but I have a Teyes CC2 Plus in this video. I have another video installing it on the channel
Looked at website but no usb for a 9-3 2007. Is that right?
They're working on that at the mo
Am looking to get a Saab 93 convertible 03-09 in petrol.
Have you heard anything about the ECU frying in hot weather because its placed just above the engine ?
A want to do a euro trip next year where the temperature can get 35-40 degrees.
Apparently theres heat mats available to place under the ECU so it don't over heat ?
I have never seen a 93 ECU being damaged by heat. I've owned 9 of them
Me neither and I just arrived back from a 1600 mile (2574km) trip from Washington State to California and back running for hours at 80MPH (128KMH) with temps peaking at 105°F (41°C). Saabs are amazing. Not a drop of oil burned with 157,000 miles on the odometer and 31 MPG (13 km/liter.) I maintain it well and it has never let me down.
Great gadget video! Amazing. We are so fortunate to have you bringing us so many ways to make our Saabs better! Seriously, you could be an enthusiast for any car, but you chose Saabs and we all benefit from that.
My ECU didn’t start to fail until I hit 328k miles/528k km. It started going into limp mode for no reason. I wouldn’t be concerned with the heat at all. It may fail, it may not. I’m almost at 16 years now with my Saab, take care of it and it will take care of you.
Have you looked at upgrade the projectors ? :) and retrofitting 06 interior ?
Tuning it ? ;)
Actually it's already booked in to get "Noobtuned" at Saabfest in a couple of weeks
@@SaabUnleashed Do wanna learn yourself ?
Everything is free and open source and there are great guides for learning for the T7 :)
Karl at Noobtune does a great job!
@@Nikochicoo I could, but that requires the interface cables and the time to learn, and time is hard to come by!
Is it used just for charging or can it be used to plug some usb device for music?
I explained this at the start of the video
@@SaabUnleashed OK so that means just as an extension to aftermarkt unit, not with the original. Any idea about pluging into original unit? Thank You.
@@Thehunter85 no, that's not possible
Any chance for a type c charging port?
Not currently, but you can use an A-C cable, which is what I use
Can you be nice and send the address to me, to buy these reserve (USB)things!? I like it!
Does Dave offer his services to other SAAB owners? If so, how can I contact him?
What are you looking to do?
Was wondering this too, i want the dash "blank" but just an extention, i have an aftermarket headunit but the USB is at the back and i want the cable coming out from the dash "blank" and not from the rear of my console :) I guess i could tecnically just buy a male/female USB extention and cut/glue it on an existing blank button but... i want it to look good
I feel this was a commercial. TD
Volt meter is upside down.
There are no rules :)
RIP ears of headphone users : (
I hate the look of 3D printed stuff
