Updating Saab Navigation Radio RPO UYS Operating System to U803
In order to help those customers with Navigation radio concerns that do not wish to have their radios repaired permanently by using United Radio we will make the update available through IRIS.
NOTE: This update may not repair the condition and or the condition may return at a later date. The only option left at that time is to send the part to United Radio.
Using a 512 MB or larger USB memory stick inset the drive into an available USB port on your shop computer. (Make sure you use a blank or memory stick that has been formatted).
To format the memory stick (RIGHT) click on the memory stick Icon in “My Computer”. Then select “Format” (NOTE: This will erase all data on the drive). Use the default settings for the formatting the drive: FAT32 and Quick Erase. Click OK to format.
NOTE: Internet Explorer 11 MUST be used exclusively for all Service applications.
The navigation update files are located in the Parts and Service Reference Library under this path:
US/Service and Warranty Reference Library/SVUSA-Group 3 Electrical Technical

Once the memory stick has been formatted, load the 3 NAVIGATION software files highlighted in yellow below on the usb DRIVE. Internet Explorer MUST be used for all Service applications.

Next transfer these files to the blank USB drive we formatted earlier. Do not transfer the folder just the files to the drive.
When the transfer is complete safely remove the USB stick by right clicking the ICON again and selecting “EJECT”. You should receive a message telling you the drive is safe to remove.
Connect the Midtronics® PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or an equivalent to the battery of the vehicle.
Put vehicle in the “Accessory” position. Press and hold START button for 10 seconds do not put your foot on the brake pedal during this time.
Turn the Navigation Radio on before inserting the USB drive into the usb port in the center console.

Select OK to continue.

A status bar indicates progress.
Important: DO NOT cycle the ignition even if the view screen indicates to cycle it. At the conclusion of the USB drive downloading to the radio, installation of the programming will automatically begin as indicated by the white progress bar below and the screen may have a white hue. It is normal for the white progress bar to remain stationary for extended periods. If the view screen instead remains blank for more than 40 minutes, you may then cycle the ignition. This will reinitialize the programming event. Do not remove the USB flash drive.
After the USB programming has completed the screen will go blank. It is not necessary to observe the entire programming process. Once the screen has gone blank, a white outline bar graph will appear. The downloaded software will automatically install. Once this progress bar fills, the screen will go blank and USB programming will be complete.
When the programming event has completed, the radio will display: Download Complete and the version number U803
Turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds.
Remove the USB flash drive.
The vehicle MUST now be calibrated.
Important: After completion of the USB programming event, but prior to the initialization of SPS programming, the radio will display a Cadillac splash screen if operated. This is a normal condition. Completion of the SAAB SPS programming below will restore the radio to the proper splash screen for the vehicle being serviced.
