I have an 06 9-3 SC with the navigation system and I have found that it is slow, no street names etc. It does give the necessary information on the unit above the dash (repeat of the display) which is all you really need. What has me pissed off is the fact the the navigation system has the capability for Bluetooth and voice activation already built into the unit and SAAB has simply turned it off in the USA. These could simply be turned on at the dealership, but they will not and or cannot do it because of SAABUSA (GM) and the conflict with OnStar.
I called OnStar and tried to get their service installed in my 2006 9-3 SC and was told that unless it was installed at the factory it is not available. So in that case why will they not turn on the Bluetooth and voice activation. It works in every other country in the world EXCEPT the USA. GM has its head up the tailpipe on this one and I suggest that they can make a little extra cash to help that bottom line by offering to turn those options on for us here in the USA.
