Saab Clarion Audio System

An overview of the factory mounted stereos in classic Saab 900 (MY84-94) and Saab 9000 (MY86-94) for the US-market

Components MY88-91

In MY88 there was a low-end radio for the basic 900 without any possibility to install equalizer
or cd-player (looks the same as MY86-87, but different partnumbers). S/Turbo had the high
specification radio unit and all turbos had the equalizer, CD-player was optional. In MY89
the low-end radio was replaced with a simplifed version of the high-end and installed in 900/
900S/9000S. This radio were able to connect with equalizer/cd-player but they were both optional.

See Broschure MY1989 for more pictures and detailed information on the headunits.
