Subject: Replacement Alarm Module for
Saab Guard Alarm Systems

Application: 900 and 9000 Models Equipped with Standard or Accessory Saab Guard Alarm


Because replacement Saab Guard Alarm modules are no longer available, a kit containing a modified Alpine alarm module has been developed to permit repairs of cars equipped with the Saab Guard ("Cobra") system. The Alpine kit, P/N 02 46 512, supersedes the Saab Guard module P/N 02 70 520, and is applicable to the following models:

^ 1985-90 900 3-door and 4-door Models (accessory installation)

^ 1986-90 900 Convertible Models (o.e.m. installation)

^ 1986-88 9000 Models (accessory installation)

This replacement Alpine kit has been modified to permit disarming with the igniton switch in the same manner as the Saab Guard alarm. However, the ability of the Saab Guard system to disable the alarm by quickly cycling the ignition key is NOT possible with the modified Alpine kit. This modified module uses a microphone to detect glass breakage (no motion sensor is supplied) and, since it is not compatible with the valet switch and starter disable relay of the standard Alpine alarm, these items are not supplied with the kit.

If the kit is used to replace a Saab Guard alarm fitted with the optional remote disarm feature, remote transmitters, an antenna and a ROM-chip kit may be added to the modified Alpine replacement kit in order to add remote arming and disarming capability. However, it may be more cost effective to purchase the complete Alpine accessory kit if the customer desires this feature.
