Yeah that’s called “Dead Locking” and it’s on European Saab’s only. Doesn’t make it to North America. Not sure why, could be for a variety of reasons. Saab isn’t the only company that has it, nor are they the only company who only has it in Europe, or in not-USA anyway.

I would imagine this would still work though. I don’t *think* dead-locking has an effect on the trunk, though I could be wrong. In any case, this is designed for ‘accidental’ trappage and car-jacking. In either of those 2 cases the car would more than likely be not-dead locked.

Mag-X: They glow in the dark just in case you should get locked in your trunk (or someone else’s) without a flashlight. I know, as a former Boy Scout, I should always “Be Prepared”!

Papluh: Now, that’s a new one on me; I always thought the second press on the remote merely arms the alarm system, I did not realize it “dectivates all the handles and other physical means of unlocking/opening doors”.

Heheh, we did have a lot of fun playing with that thing — and we are a bunch of grown-ups! I’ve had my [used] Saab for 3 weeks now, and I love finding out its charming quirks!

What is that? I have a 9-3SC and never seen it. Maybe i should spent more time in my trunk?

It shouldn´t flap around in the trunk. If someone has pulled it out of position from the grey “clothing” in the trunk so it flaps around in a steel-wire just press the handle back in the clothings little crack. I know since I mount that piece at the trollhättan plant
The handle showed comes only with the US and Canada market.

My NG had one just like that, glowed and everything, but it was just T-shaped instead of mushroom cloud-shaped.

if you don’t you’re going to see a red 9000 coming down the cul-de-sac!

Does it works with trunk closed with double lock ? (or how its called, the function that activates on second press of lock on remote and dectivates all the handles and other physical means of unlocking/opening doors )

Also great for the little ones who might lock themselves in your trunk on a hot summer day. Five young kids died that way a few years ago here in Utah, and this is a good way to prevent that.
