SERVICE INFORMATION
For the 1991 model year, the 900 Convertible alarm system has been changed to the Saab-Alpine Anti-Theft System. Except for a few minor changes, this is the same reliable, versatile system that Saab currently offers as an accessory option.
The siren, LED, microphone/valet button assembly, hood switch and wiring harness will be installed from the factory. A box containing the alarm module, remote transmitter, alarm connector harness (car wiring to alarm module) and other mounting details will be placed in the trunk. As part of the PDI, the module should be mounted and the wiring connections made (see installation notes below).
It should be noted that the CV alarm system comes with one (1) remote transmitter. An extra frequency-matched ROM chip is included in case the customer desire the option of having two transmitters. Place the extra ROM chip in a suitable place for future use. The second transmitter housing and transmitter pouch (P/N 02 46 165 & 02 46 215) respectively, can be ordered from your servicing Distribution Center using normal parts ordering procedures. The alarm system is also designed for adding a starter interlock relay as an accessory option. The part number for this kit will be announced in the future.

- Connect the violet colored wire (female bullet connector) from the alarm harness to the blue colored wire (male bullet connector) from the car harness. Connect the red/black colored wire (male bullet connector) from the alarm harness to violet colored wire (female bullet connector) from the car harness.
