Saab 9-3 2008 Turbo X Audio Upgrade! Atoto S8 Ultra Gen2 + 12" Subwoofer

[@tiagoluna1942]

Love your videos Jonas. Please keep them coming and let's keep Saab alive :)

[@JonasKakarikas]

🙏 Thank you

[@jaabnegat]

Właśnie dojrzałem do wymiany radioodtwarzacza i Twoja porada, Jonas będzie dla mnie cenna. Dziękuję! Pozdrawiam

[@keefensera2004]

Well done. I started having flashbacks to when I fitted my Kenwood head unit to my 9-3 a couple of years ago. Yes, the Dremel was out to adapt the mounting frame and surround to obtain a flush fit. That Kenwood head unit is just as deep as the original, so had great fun trying to tuck the metres of spaghetti and connectors behind it. Ended up removing the glove box to pull some of the wiring through and out of the way. And like yours there was no sound to start with. And then pulled it all out again this year to connect the Kenwood dash cam. At least I wasn't doing it in the snow. Keep those videos coming Jonas.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thanks 🙏 yeah its quite a loom after adding all units you need 😂😂😂

[@tylerodonnell9200]

I'm about to buy a 2008 areo I'm actually really hyped for it now.

[@cgcrantz3544]

Wow! Imponerande att du får ordning på allt ! Ser alltid fram emot dina videos!!

[@cgcrantz3544]

Själv letar jag efter en ”originalskärm” , den två-din för navigation/radio till min dame Edna. Den har inte nav men tänkte ha den som radioenhet. Lite lättare att installera! Mvh CG

[@JonasKakarikas]

Ja den är ju lite mer plug n play + att man behåller originalfunktioner som night panel 👍

[@WillRobinsonDanger]

My fellow Saab brutha from anutha mutha!!!!!! Love what you do with your Saabs, been following you for a while, and you introduced me to your ECU tuner and I am in touch with him. I am about done with m 2009 Saab v6 Aero, so you know what that means, I will be also installing one of them in mines!!!!!

[@urbanjentry222]

Ready steady turbo whistle 👍

[@customsgarage3433]

Bara jag som tyckte att de var lite för mycket diskant/middbasljud i basen? Du får leka lite mer med lågpassfiltret (LPF) på slutsteget på baslådan 👍 (ställa ner Hz lite till tror ja behövs) För övrigt ett superbra resultat o välbehövlig uppgradering för en såhär go bil! 👌

[@JonasKakarikas]

Exakt som ja sa i videon, det behöver justeras en hel del 😎

[@tomitoikka367]

I had to reverse the power cables in order to retain the memory of the unit. The hardest part was to get steering wheel buttons work since I didn't understand the instructions in the beginning. NG9-5 was much more easier. It's plug'n'play with its canbus.

[@JonasKakarikas]

My unit came with different ISO looms so the powering wasnt an issue as soon as I got the correct cables. Yes ng9-5 was much easier

[@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick]

I have the Bose 7 speaker sound system in my Saab, and I always see people bitching on the Saab forums online about how that sound system sucks and sounds like crap....and I never understood that. It has clear sound, good range and good bass for a stock system. I can turm the bass up all the way and the volume, and never get any distortion. I dont know what the hell they've beem driving with these incredible stock sound systems but i think its pretty damn good, especially for that time period. Ive thought about upgrading my speakers and amp but its not because they sound like crap, Id just like to have something a little nicer.

[@kpr9559]

I have been waiting this kind of audio upgrade video like Christmas and now you created it. You really make miracles with your passion. It is amazing again. Thak you your provided links, too This upgrade is compatible for Saab 9-5, what you think?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thank you 😉 you Will need a different Cage for the 9-5 and most likely different canbus interface for steeringwheelcontrols. Brl.se has a link "what fits my car" that will help you 😉

[@kpr9559]

@@JonasKakarikas Hej Jonas, tack så mycket!

[@per-hakansvahn8044]

Super som vanligt, Jonas!👍👍

[@johnovereem9176]

Great videos and turbo x is awesome! Have you seen Saab unleashed? A Uk channel that specialises in car audio systems. I’m thinking of an XTrons double din unit for my aero as they seem to be easiest to fit. No extra bits needed for amp or steering wheel controls

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thanks, yeah i talked to him a little bit during the installation. I dont know about all other units but he seemed to have tried quite a few

[@sebl3054]

Bra gjort👍 Ja installerade original navigationen för några år sen. Kan du inte göra en film om hur man rostlagar 9-3ans skärmkanter utan att rosten kommer tillbaka efter 6 månader. Det är ju dubbelplåt där och rosten verkar komma från insidan.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Byta plåten är det rätta att göra för att det inte ska komma tillbaka

[@TawanSaenraluk]

Hur svårt är det att få till passformen egentligen? Du var tvungen att kapa lite på den inre ramen, hur gjorde du det så att det blev snyggt?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Inte så svårt, hållaren kapade jag med vinkelslip och yttersta rampen slipade jag till med vinkelslipen också 😎

[@erikponner6433]

Roligt med en liten guide. Kan hända att jag behöver denna när det är dags för ljuduppgradering i min Turbo X lite avis att du fick tag på en SC manuell. Jag lyckades bara fåtag på en automat sedan.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Inte så tokigt det heller 😉

[@levanitu]

Thank you for video. Are you happy with Atoto S8 ultra? Planning to purchase one, so your opinion will be great help. Would you buy this unit, after having it several months? Thank you.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Yes it works really well and im very happy with it 👌

[@levanitu]

@@JonasKakarikasjust bought this unit. Which 2din fascia did you use or can recommend for this head unit? I bought Connects2 fascia for Saab 9-3 and this unit is bigger, don’t fit in it. The bezel of fascia is to small

[@JonasKakarikas]

I got a used one from a guy from Saab Turbo club

[@EyezOfTheBeholder]

Great video! Do the native Saab sounds (turn signal, warning sounds etc.) still work through the speakers?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thanks, yes all that still works as it should 👌

[@EyezOfTheBeholder]

@@JonasKakarikas Perfect. I've been putting off upgrading my 08 XWD Aero headunit, but your video has inspired me to do it, thanks.

[@mydearriley]

I might have missed this, but is the subwoofer powered? If not, what amp(s) did you install and where?

[@JonasKakarikas]

The subwoofer is powered from the battery directly

[@pabloalquisira8109]

Great job Jonas! Do you know if the 2007 SAAB 93 come with fiber optic system? I read that they don’t. I want to also update my sounds system.

[@JonasKakarikas]

The 2007 as the new interior but old exterior, so same as my TurboX 👌

[@pabloalquisira8109]

@@JonasKakarikas I see. Yes, the layout of the stereo does look the same. Thanks Jonas. By the way, I love all the SAAB you have but my favorite is that rare SAAb 93 TurboX wagon.

[@mka3512]

Hi Jonas, I would like to purchase the Atoto unit for my 9-3, but i can't find it supplied with a frame for my car. Can you advice where to find the same frame as you used to fit it for the 9-3, thanks for your reply and keep the vid's comming :)

[@JonasKakarikas]

Hi, my frame was a used one. Frame is included in one of the links in the description 👍

[@juhapietikainen3252]

Thanks for the video! What about the timer of integrated dieselheater? Does this work after the installation?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Dont know, but it should not be affected by the stereo 👍

[@williamjohansson4063]

Tänkte köra samma baslåda som du men vill ha kvar oem stereon. Går det eller måste den bytas?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Går nog att ha kvar original

[@Choconuss]

this is AMAZING!!!! i thought u cant replace a Saab unit because it would mess with your whole ECM and lose functions

[@JonasKakarikas]

In the ng9-3 or ng9-5 there are no issues with this atleast 😉

[@Choconuss]

@@JonasKakarikas time to buy this upgrade

[@Choconuss]

so i can't find the link for the 2 piece u ordered form InCarTech! and the one link u put there where it says cable does not work

Search for the name of the unit and you will find 👍

[@Philsing]

Grymt! Synd bara på night panel-funktionen😢 Har själv sneglat på Turbo X ett par gånger. Hur fungerar AWD’n på denna, går det att leka i snön? 😁

[@JonasKakarikas]

Bästa vinterbilen man kan ha, tuggar i sig halkig vägbana som ingenting 😎 ja lite synd på night panel, men rätt mycket andra moderna funktioner som väger upp

[@KristianE85]

Går helt klart att leka med! tråkigt om det går åt helvete däremot.

[@Philsing]

@@JonasKakarikas Där ser man!😎👍 Står den sig bra mot 9-5 NG Aero med AWD? Såg en sådan som drog iväg ruskigt fort vid rödljuset häromdagen 😍

[@JonasKakarikas]

Turbo-x har ju viktfördel mot ng9-5, annars har ju ng9-5 några snäpp bättre chassi.. Men fyrhjulsdriften är ju densamma 😉

[@JonasKakarikas]

Hej, skulle kollat på bildelsbasen eller ställa frågan på Facebook i någon Saab köp och sälj grupp. God jul och gott nytt år till dig med. Tack för att du tittar 👍

[@injectionflow4409]

Om du av någon anledning får lågt ljud på basen(rör sig knappt) så glöm inte adaptern som sänker högnivån från orginalslutsteget. Hade förjävliga problem med detta när jag köpte ny stereo och kopplade in bas. Kunde inte sätta fingret på vad som var fel just då.

[@robinramos1407]

Tjenare, när man bytar ut huvudenheten på detta vis, vilka funktioner om några förlorar man från original ? Jag tänker typ varningsmeddelanden och servicepåminelse funker inte lägre då eller?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Har man eSID3 med kablaget tappar man ingenting

Hi, I see that you mounted the GPS antenna in the inside top of the metal bracket, does it get enough gps signal in this position? thanks!

[@Olimarc84]

A question. I am fitting an Atoto A6PF 7" car radio to my 2008 Saab 9-3 Sporthatch with 7-way audio system. I connected everything but it doesn't play, I can't find the amplifier wire from the car. How do I recognise it? Thank you.

[@sandysaab9357]

Hade också en TXSC med en tidigare Atoto. Bra ips-skärm, bra ljud, men strulig internetdelning med 4G iPhone och ingen ”night panel” funktion. Hur fungerar det på denna S8?

[@ESSNaviation]

När man använder google maps t.ex, måste man vara uppkopplad med telefonen eller får den signal från sin egna GPS-puck? :)

[@JonasKakarikas]

Bra fråga, den har ju GPS antenn... Men kartorna är ju baserade på internetuppkoppling så tror man behöver ha internetdelning 👍
