UPDATE – comment from Saaber: ‘Marktplaats’ is actually not a company, but a trading website, just as Ebay (even think that they own Marktplaats!). The maps are offered by a fellow Saab enthusiast and are hacked Jaguar/Denso versions, which work very well. I’ve got the various European discs here of 2015…and these are nicely updated and work without errors.
How to replace with new maps:
Finally!!!
Even if not (?) legit, this is a most desired update for many EU based saab owners…

Ordered from satnavdvd and received. It works but I sometimes I got read errors and the screen freezes or “disc check” messages anormaly long. Might be the dvd lens too old or the dvd quality. It is not a pressed dvd like the original but just a dvd-r with a sticker printed on it. Now i am thinking about cleaning the lens or burn the dvd again on a better quality dvd.
I’ve got the original 2006 DVD from a 2007 9-3 and a “newer” 2016 DVD from satnavdvd which is giving me the same errors and unpredictability that Jojohan has experienced. It works maybe 1 out of 5 times. I’m going to try the following until one of the method works, burnt onto a better quality dvd
* copy the 2016 dvd
* copy the 2006 dvd files and overlay the 2016 maps (kwi files?)
Did you manage to get anything resolved by either of the methods you mentioned? I Have the same issue here.
