While getting the car serviced I saw that the Saab dealer was offering a bluetooth kit. At nearly $600 I figured this must be some kit so I asked about it. The rep at the dealer service center said that it was the 2009 blue tooth option. Wow - that's the one thing I really wanted that wasn't in the 2008.
Just to be sure I asked him if it used the built in mic and speakers, did it mute the radio when calls came in and went out, did it use the phone buttons on the steering wheel? "Yes, yes, yes", he said. I made an appointment.
Day of the appointment I arrive and a different rep is there. He doesn't know squat - is looking in the manual, etc. I ask him the same questions - he doesn't know. Calls the shop and is told they'll have to disable OnStar. It takes a while to convince him I don't care about OnStar. But he can't answer my questions so I accompany him to the service bay with the car.
The tech at the service bay says "No, no, no" to the three questions. I ask to see the unit and he brings out a crappy aftermarket motorola unit, with a clip mic and velcro to attach the control pod to the dash. Still nearly $600... The tech says that even the 2009s don't use the steering wheel buttons.
So I cancelled and drove back home. What's the scoop?
