German Christmas FAQThis is a simple FAQ for Christmas. Things I keep forgetting every year. This is an attempt to slow the gradual deterioration of my punk-ass brain cells. What's that mean? My HTML technical skills increase as vital memories decrease. Eh, whaddyagonnado? Disclaimer(s): This is totally my interpretation based on research gathered from where I could. I'll try to site sources, but some stuff I won't be able to find, so deal with it.
Table of Contents
Why are there lights on Christmas trees?This button is found on the Sedans, but not the Convertibles. it is not the button to open the sunroof. The convertibles have their own button & it isn't in the same place. That said...this button is useful. It is used to control an auxiliary lights that can be mounted to the front of the car. Possible uses include rally lights, or a spotlight, or whatever. It simply is an on/off switch. What do you need you ask? Connectivity kit Saab P/N: 12787159 includes a wiring harness to connect to a plug in your car, a relay, and a fuse. Oh, and it has to be enabled through Tech II. Back to Top
How's a German Christmas different than, say, Russian?Please note that if you are upgrading from a Linear or Arc with down turned muffler tailpipes, both these kits have a hole for straight out exhaust. Back to Top

Uh, what's Christmas about anyway? Is it one of those "Hallmark Holidays"?Yes. It could not on older 9-3s, or any 9-5s. There was some confusion as far as what salespeople said vs. Onstar's website vs. what's in the Owner's Manual. But I'm happy to report that I actually tried it during my trial period with Onstar.

Why is it November & I hear Christmas music already?There's really no good answer to this question. Just a section to mark down the gradual creep of Christmas in general (songs, decor, and media advertising) into the wee early days of October. 2004 marks the first year there are 3 all-Christmas stations on XM. Also, Magic 104 started playing all-Christmas in November.

What's Comfort Open/Close?[This is the answer to the question.] Back to Top
Am I supposed to have a Keyhole Cover?Yes. All model years have this little black plug that will
insert into the driver's side keyhole. Why? It removes the unsightly silver
dot that will stick out like a sore thumb and it will then blend into the rest
of the black plastic. Most people find it in the vehicle's glovebox upon
delivery, or if missing, the dealer usually has a couple lying around. Back to Top
By Geronimo, what else don't I know about my car?This is going to be a catch all for all sorts of odd undocumented features, easter eggs, etc. Most all of this stuff is in your manual, but easy to miss.
