I trust you will keep us entertained for years to come with all of the ins and outs of how Saab does its thing. Fascinating.

All the "work" being done at those benches is playing Need for Speed. The monitors seems a bit undersized though :-)  You don’t fool me!

I had no idea how complex this is. Thank you Swade giving me an insight, I enjoyed it very much. Great article! I had no idea how complex this is.

Looks a bit like a DIY workbench. I wonder if Toyota, for instance, has the same approach. Hopefully, the stations are already set up for the next 9-3. Great stuff! Looks a bit like a DIY workbench.

Thanks to Saab and Swade. I wonder if other car manufacturers let their fans come behind the scenes like this? I had no idea integrating different systems was this complex. And this is probably just a small portion of all the work that is being done! I will think about the engineers next time I open my door! :) What a great post! Thanks to Saab and Swade.

I hope Saab is more wise these days about what to develop and what to buy. My AMP1 failed and caused my battery to drain time and time again until I figured out that it was the amp.

Your comment about the complete o-bus failure is utter nonsense. The AMP1 will not take down the optical bus. Just turn the radio off as I did when I heard extreme popping from the speakers. Fortunately, my AMP1 was okay after drying for a day.
