New Firmware update for the Saab 9-5 NG (v. E800)

Saab 9-5 NG infotainment

Many computers control your SAAB, and they periodically require software updates to ensure your engine is running at peak performance, and also a navigation system and infotainment system. Usually, these would be installed during a service but if you haven´t carried out a Saab service at your authorised Saab Service Centre recently, your software may now be out of date.

Orio’s HQ in Sweden confirm that E800 is indeed an update for the European-spec navigation systems in the Saab 9-5NG (and 9-4X) that replaces all previous versions (including E40D) and fixes memory issues, bluetooth issues, daylight savings issues, etc.

However, there seems to be some confusion whether E800 is still in beta or not. Orio Sweden stated the software is still being worked on and that there should be more news in a few weeks from now. What is clear is that the update will be available through authorized Saab service centres around Europe.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
