Someone put the wrong security code in the radio. Hold the DNR button down and the code will clear. Be sure you have the correct code to enter after clearing the current one.

Sounds like your Clarion needs its four digit security code reentered! Hopefully you have this..... if not, your SAAB dealer might be able to provide it, given the VIN. Otherwise, you're going to be unlucky. (:

Assuming you have the code, first remove the radio to initialise the sequence. Re-install the radio, turn on th ignition, key in your code number using the station preset switches (1 to 6) and the unit should then operate.

If you make a mistake in entering the number, finish entering all four digits, then press and hold the BAND switch until CODE appears on the display. Then more carefully, enter the correct code.

If you get it wrong for four consecutive attempts, you'll be locked out for an hour of 'radio on' time, after which you press and hold BAND as before etc.. You then get one code attempt an hour until you get it right, to discourage guessing the number!

Good luck!

When I switch on the radio?cd player in my Saab 900 the screen says "Code 1". What do I do to fix this ?

could be the anti-theft device in the radio. it requires you to put the 4 digit code in to "unlock" the radio for use. This number should have been given to you by the seller -otherwise can be obtained by a previous SAAB dealer. This can happen when the battery is disconnected for a period of time

My 1997 saab radio doesn't work after i change the battery

Radio on the Saab need a code of 4 numbers to put back on the radio. The moment you take out the cables of battery the radio is out. Is a security things on the Saab. When you bought the car should have a card and keep the card in the safe place don't loose.
That how you put the radio on.

I changed the battery on my 1997 Saab 900. Radio is dead.

turn on the radio and enter the code. If it does not respond, hold the band button down until the screen asks for it. If that does not work, pull the radio and courtesy fuses for 5 minutes and retry.

Radio code for 1997 saab 900s

I'm afraid if you don't have the code, you will have to take it to a local dealer or specialist radio store to have it re-coded.

Fortunately, it's not expensive.

1999 Saab 900 radio reset code

whenever the battery is removed (or car experiences any loss of power) you must type in security code for  radio (this is the case with BMWs and Volvos as well).  Go to any saab dealership and they can remove the radio and get your radio's 4 digit code, they all have one.  Yes, I have done this before ` they didn't charge me and I was in and out in ten minutes.
