Does anybody know a quick fix for a 2001 Saab 9-3 SID display? It is starting to go out so I can’t see the time or radio channels. The local service station said it would be about $300 to fix but he said he thought there is an easy but temporary at home fix. If you have any tips for me please let me know.

get a new radio installed at best buy for less. or car a junk yard it you want the factory radio. If you pay $100 for radio and $50 to have it put in you will half the cost put make sure you put a test plug in it and check it out be fore you take it home.
