That's the problem more and more people will discover when draining the battery and not following proper procedure when starting the car.
With today high tech cars, the car battery is a crucial part of the system (like a BIOS battery in your PC).
If the battery has drained, you should hook up a charger and charge the battery before trying to start the car, or let the other car sit hooked up long enough so that the other cars alternator has charged you battery to the point that your car can be started even when the jumper cables are removed.
What you can do yourself is to check all the fuses in all fuse boxes and then lift off the battery cables and hold them together for some seconds WITHOUT having them on the battery at the same time.
If you are lucky, you might be able to hard boot your car and get things working again but it might take a Saab shop with the Tech 2 scanner to see what happened and in a good case scenario, add the infotainment to the Network again or maybe they have to replace it.
A voltage spike like that when jump starting the car can create a whole bunch of problems with the Network.
