Granite Embedded Systems A Message From GES... Thank you for purchasing an AudioTroll iPod and auxiliary input adapter for your Saab 9-3 or 9-5 automobile! This system is the culmination of over two years of intensive research and development, ensuring the safety of the occupants of the vehicle, as well as attending to their auditory pleasure. This manual is designed to help you understand the installation as well as the operation of the system in your Saab.
Granite Embedded Systems Installation - 9-3 Background and required tools The Saab 9-3 (M98-M02, including M03 Convertible) utilize a purpose-built Clarion CD or Cassette head unit in all markets. The AudioTroll system uses a specially designed Y-Harness to bridge the connection between the car’s instrumentation wiring harness and the radio chassis. Installation requires the removal of the radio and glove box assembly.

Run the audio and dock cable down through the radio opening and out the side of the console. Pull these wires through and put them through the hole you’ve cut in the glove box. Leave approximately 1’ (30.5cm) of cable in the console to allow connections to reach.

The panel will pop out. Exercising great caution, disengage the wiring to the power lock switch, remove the panel and set it aside. Remove any screws in the top of the console to gain clearance, and pry out the window switch pack and coin box.
Granite Embedded Systems Operation Plugging in your iPod AudioTroll has TWO wires for the iPod. The one with the green connector carries audio signals, the other carries serial data and 12-volts DC power to charge the iPod. Make sure you have both connected before attempting to use AudioTroll.
Granite Embedded Systems The long and winding road... Long road trips can really be a pain... especially with commercial radio stations blaring out the same junk from city to city. Your passengers can swap their iPod into the system very easily to switch up the musical variety. Simply unplug the iPod that is plugged into AudioTroll, plug the new one in and initiate the reset function.
