Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Installation Procedure

The installation should be done in two steps:

1 Soldering connections between Nokia harness and Saab adapter harness should be done on a workbench.

2 Actual installation of components into car.

WARNING!
USING ANY POWER OR GROUND SOURCE OTHER THAN THAT WHICH IS FURNISHED IN THE PRE-WIRED CONNECTOR MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INTERFERENCE WITH ONE OR MORE IN-CAR SYSTEMS. CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN MOUNTING PHONE CRADLES TO THE CONSOLE OR INSTRUMENT PANEL SO THAT NO DAMAGE OCCURS TO THE WIRING BEHIND THEM. DO NOT USE SCREWS THAT ARE LONGER THAN NECESSARY.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCORRECT WIRING OF MOBILE TELEPHONES OR OTHER ADD-ON ACCESSORIES IS NOT COVERED BY THE NEW CAR WARRANTY.

Connections:





All connections to the Saab accessory adapter cable (P/N 49 42 058) should be soldered then heat shrink tubing applied over the solder joint. Care must be taken to insure no bare wires are exposed. The wire colors and connections for all Nokia car kits (CARK-11US and CARK-91US) are similar. CARK-11US and CARK-90US has a 4-pin connector (PCH-4); CARK-91US, CARK-103 and CARK-105 have a 5-pin connector (PCH-5) with the additional wire (green) being for a power antenna trigger which is unused in this application.

The following procedure applies to both:

1 Cut the wire harness from the Nokia harness so that approx. 130 mm (5") is left behind the connector.

2 Strip the wires and make the following solder connections, making certain of good solder points. Heat shrink tubing should be applied to each solder joint.





NOTE:
Since the wire colors in the accessory adapter cable, P/N 49 42 058, are subject to change, the pin number has been listed without reference to the wire color.

3 Solder the red wire of the Nokia connector to the wire in pin 1 of the Saab accessory adapter cable, P/N 49 42 058. This supplies constant battery positive.

4 Solder the yellow wire of the Nokia connector to the wire in pin 5 of the Saab accessory adapter cable, P/N 49 42 058. This connection is for the mute function.

5 Solder the black wire of the Nokia connector to the wire in pin 4 of the Saab accessory adapter cable, P/N 49 42 058. This is the ground connection.

6 Solder the blue wire of the Nokia connector to the wire in pin 2 of the Saab accessory adapter, P/N 49 42 058. This supplies ignition switch power.

7 Speaker connections:

Connections to the car's audio system through the 10-pin connector must be made to the Nokia Car Kits using a 3.5 mm monaural jack which plugs directly into the Nokia adapter.





The positive connection for this circuit is from pin # 7 on the Saab adapter to the positive terminal on the 3.5 mm jack. Solder the wire from pin # 7 to the center terminal on the plug. The negative connection is from pin # 8 on the Saab adapter. Solder this to the outer terminal on the plug. See figure.

See Miscellaneous Information, point 2.

8 Microphone connections:

The Saab 9-5 comes equipped with a dual level microphone located in the trim panel around the inside rearview mirror. The microphone is capable of either low-level or high-level output microphones; it is pre-wired for low-level use. All Nokia systems we have tried use this low-level setting. If a high-level use is required, the connection on the microphone must be changed from pin # 2 to pin # 1 on the microphone connection.

Connections to the car's microphone through the 10-pin connector must be made to the Nokia Car Kits, using a 2.5 mm monaural jack which plugs directly into the Nokia adapter.

The positive connection for the microphone is from pin # 10 on the Saab adapter to the positive terminal on the Jack. Solder the wire from pin # 10 to the center terminal on the plug.





The ground connection is from pin # 3 on the Saab adapter. Solder this wire to the outer terminal on the plug. See figure.

Installation in car:





The 10-pin harness connector is located in the center console, behind the ACC panel, clipped to the heater A/C duct. See figure.

1 Using a stiff plastic blade, CAREFULLY pry the ACC control unit from the instrument panel. Lay the panel to the side. DO NOT unplug the panel. If the ACC panel is unplugged while the ignition is turned on, the unit will self-calibrate when the car is started.

2 Remove the right-hand side covers from the console by removing the press-pins. These pins are easily removed by pushing the center section of the pin in to release using special tool P/N 84 71 179, then removing the entire pin. This allows access to the console area.

3 Plug the 10-pin adapter harness previously prepared to the in-car connector. Feed the wiring harness to the right-hand side of the console. See figure.

4 Install the Saab Telephone Bracket (P/N 02 62 576) as described in the instructions included in the kit. NOTE: It is NOT necessary to remove the ashtray or storage compartment as described the bracket instructions: simply remove the two screws behind the ACC panel.

5 Mount the Nokia phone cradle on the Saab mount. Before holes are drilled, check that cupholder operation is not affected.

6 The harness and Nokia adapter harness can be hidden behind the carpet on the right-hand side of the console.

7 If a separate antenna is to be mounted, see the instructions below.

8 After performing a function test, reinstall the console trim and ACC panel. Be sure all wiring is routed so that chafing cannot occur.

Antenna installation:

All US specification Saab 9-5 models come with an antenna coaxial cable pre-installed. However, the cable ends are of European specification. While adapters are available, it may be easier to run a separate cable.





The 9-5 radio antenna (A & B) is embedded in the rear glass in conjunction with the rear window defogger (A). If a glass-mounted antenna is used on the rear window, care must be taken not to interfere with the radio antenna. See figure for recommended location (C).

If a roof-mounted antenna is used. care must be taken when drilling/installing to insure that the roof panel is not buckled or distorted.

The recommended routing on the antenna cable from the rear window is down the C-pillar trim, under the carpet on the right-hand side of the car to the telephone adapter.

4-door sedan:

See figure for recommended location.

To remove the C-pillar trim and lower the headliner, the following procedure should be used:

1 Fold down the right-hand portion of the rear seat.

2 Peel back the rear door weather strip just enough to force fingers under the C-pillar trim. Pull the trim loose by pulling toward the center of the car. Lay the trim panel to the side - the shoulder harness will not allow complete removal.

3 Remove the rear high-mounted brake light by depressing in the retainers located on each side of the housing.

4 Remove the two headliner retainers by turning them 90° and pulling them out.

5 Pull down the rear edge of the headliner no more than 6". Pulling farther will crease the headliner, requiring its replacement.

6 Route the antenna lead down the C-pillar, avoiding the shoulder harness retractor, then under the carpet to the front of the vehicle.

7 Carefully replace all trim.

9-5 wagon:





Antenna should be located on either quarter sidewindow. See figure.

1 Pull down the rear trim panel at the rear of the headliner. Place fingers under the leading edge and pull straight down.

2 Pull D-pillar trim down in the same manner.

3 Pull down the upper glass trim from above the quarter glass.

4 Remove the fasteners in the headlining above the rear side windows by turning them 90°. Pull the C-pillar trim loose.

5 Pull down the rear edge of the headliner no more than 6". Pulling farther will crease the headliner, requiring its replacement.





6 On the inside of the quarter glass upper trim there is a tracing for a cut-out, just in front of the cut-out for the radio antenna lead. See figure. Carefully cut this section out.

7 Place the glass-mounted antenna as shown in the figure.

8 Run the antenna lead down the C-pillar trim, under the carpet to the front of the car.

9 Carefully replace all trim.
