been poking around for a while so about time I did this.

This is my 9-3, a '09 model - Aero TTiD Auto with the Hirsch Performance upgrade to 200bhp
had it just over 18mths and love it.
Only thing I've done/changed is the standard radio came out for a Kenwood DNX7210BT and had a V1 hardwired in.
These are photo's from my recent blast over to Monza for the F1 GP

Looks great - have you got a "stealth" V1 install or is it just hardwired in below the rearview mirror?

Sounds good - very similar to the install I had in my last car and it worked very well.

Does a V1 work in the UK? It must work on a different band compared to New Zealand, i used my old one here for a while but it was ineffective so I gave it to a mate to take back to NZ and he has been using it ever since!

the V1 works great in the UK, just needs to be programmed to get rid of X and K band.

Nice car!

Funnily enough I went to Monza in a Saab 9-3 as-well was a much better steer than I anticipated, have also driven a 156 with a 200bhp 1.9 diesel (believe it's the same engine?) and that was impressive too.

Got ya, can you do that via the settings? What does the UK use? KA band or something?
