9-5 Drivers (2010-) 3 weeks, 6 days agoJust so everyone is aware, VTuner located in Vermont now has a Engine tune for the Turbo6 (NG 9-5 & 9-4X), 335HP, 400 Ft lbs (vs. Hirsch’s 330HP & 317 Ft lbs). The best part is the price, $699! The tune is done via a hand held unit so no professional installation is required. Now that Hirsch’s warranty with Saab is obsolete, the VTuner tune…[Read more]

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 1 month, 3 weeks agoAnyone up for a dash that looks similar to the ones in the 2012 Showcars?
I´m currently discussion with a company i Sweden who are specialized in Water Transfer. (I guess there are companys like this all around the globe)
I will post images if/ when the dash has been done. The main thing is that I want to find something similar to the fascia in…[Read more]-
I am very interested in this.
Will the dash be for cars with HUD as well?
Keep me at least informed.-
Sounds Great.
I´m currently waiting for a quote on the work and som samples of the avaliable textures. (From a Swedish Company called Designchrome.
The tricky part is that the panels has to be removed in order to do this, but on the other hand. That might just de worth it:)-
Keep us informed about this.
-
Will Do. Still waiting for the quote from the company who does these sort of things.
-
So finally I have recieved a quote for 3 panels with the 2012 lookalike carbonfibre/ mesh metallic water transferred dash fascia.
The cost is approximately 390 euros. It will take the company 5 days to do it, which means that you have to let the car rest for 5 days plus minus the time for taking it apart and reassembly.
It will be cheaper if we…[Read more]-
I will wait for the pictures.
I also am in contact with Lafrentz in Kiel, Germany, while they now offer an alternative for the Hirsch Dash.

I have contact to the manufacturer of the original decor 2012 called "meshed metallic". This week first sample parts have been made. If you are interestedkeep in contact with me. If we have enough interested people it might be possible to organize a small serial production.
-
I´m for one is definately interested!
Would it be a completely new manufacturing with completely new parts or would they re-use the panels that is in our cars ?-
In the first step we try to produce completely new parts. It depends to the avaiabilty of raw parts. Otherwise we try to reuse existing parts.
-
Interested too, but in the states. Not sure how that affects things.

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 2 months agoI had no Turbo power one morning and went to see my dealer.
Conclusion; a marter had eaten a piece out of one of the tubes.
So no real probblem with the car but more with these protected animals who first did kill my chicken and now start to demolish my car

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 2 months, 2 weeks agoJust completed 2nd service on my 2.0 ttid aero at 18500 miles, sourced vauxhall insignia oil filter, went for insignia EBC green brake pads, found out that I could only buy the shims as a complete brake kit from SAAB, so cleaned up the old and re used, had to file the EBS a little to remove paint so they would work with shims, also discovered the…[Read more]

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 3 months, 1 week agoFastest in Comfort mode? I’ve wondered this since buying the car back in 2010. There is no doubt that car will hold gears longer in Sport mode but the turbo boost does not match the higher revs – making the car “feel” like its working hard but not moving. In comfort mode the turbo boost seems to match the revs better – resulting in the car…[Read more]
-
No indepth experiments done here, although I know personally, I enjoy Sport mode the most. I do have the suspension changed from Sport, as I find it is much too harsh on our poor roads. I do look forward to changing the OEM Conti ProContacts to Bridgestone Pole Postions for better ride and handling.

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 3 months, 1 week agoMy infotainment system is acting up…suddenly it won’t play my iPhone and when I change the clock, it always reverts back when I turn the car off. Is there a know firmware update it fix this?
-
There is a firmware update for the clock and a few other navigation unit "quirks" ... not sure about the iPhone, but seems like the fix would correct that issue too. The team at Saab of Memphis loaded the firmware update in my 2010 Aero over a year ago, and it is holding, and fixed all my naviagation/clock issues. Your service center tech will…[Read more]

Thanks, I got the firmware update last week - it fixed the clock issue but not the iPhone. Also, now at start up I get a different graphic and when the infotainment system is turned off, I get a subdued "SAAB" logo on the screen, gone is the Griffin. At first I was sad to lose the large griffin logo but it was way to bright at night and I…[Read more]
-
That's interesting. Is your car an '11 or a '10? After the update I still have my Griffin, albeit a slightly smaller one. Sounds like you have the big block letters "SAAB" like we have in our 9-4X.

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 4 months agoIIRC, there was a Brembo brake upgrade (as an official Saab accessory) for the NG 9-5. Does anyone recall the specs or how much it was going to cost?
-
No idea, but the brakes do feel weak. I wouldn't mind an upgrade.

9-5 Drivers (2010-) 4 months, 1 week agoI have a few lights in my third brake light out. Anyone dealt with this issue and replacement?
-
If you're referring to the middle tail light section then yes - I replaced mine over the summer. At the time it was the last part in stock (for the entire country). My car had about 30,000 miles at the time and it cost $475 + labor (summer 2012).
I ended up keeping the damaged one just in case.
-
I mean the trapezoidal brake light that's "mounted" on the lower part of the rear window, not the big long light along the trunk. Is that what you meant?
-
That's definitely a different brake light - I didn't even know the car had one (although I should have since its the law).
-
-
The good news is the trunk light bar is still available. I, too, just got it replaced yesterday and it would have cost around $475+labor had my dealer not covered it.
The bad news is I do not have a cost for the brake light (lower part of rear windshield) ... I can't imagine it would be more than $100 or 2, plus labor. So that is LED also?

Curious about this. Vtuner did my old 9-3 to 320hp I believe. You're saying it's 335 now?
I see now. Confusing because he has two sites and the old one is not updated but still exists. Hard to find the link to the new one: http://www.vtunerperformance.com
