Sam - - I had one radio with a bad display, another that kept popping and finally was all static. I took them apart - - the front part with display and other circuits unscrews and unplugs from the rear section. Then swapped entire front including display from popping one onto bad display radio. As I recall, the radio code that applies is the one from the rear of the combined package, not the one from the one with the display.
Works great now but I still mean someday to pop the keypad apart and look for some new lightbulbs for it, so I can see the #s at night. Anyone know what I'll be looking for?
Also, I get almost no AM reception; doesn't seem right. Years ago on one of my first cars I had this problem, found that the tiny wire inside the coax from radio to antenna whip was corroded. Does this ever happen to Saabs? I guess a car audio shop would know and be able to help.
