I don't really have a need for it but it is interesting to see Trollhattan on the screen with the Saab Bil museum and Saab ANA as points-of-interests. I also got my hands on a 2008 Western Europe map DVD and that one works fine as well. The 2005 disk was already scratched up a bit so I can always burn a new copy if needed. I also found a way of making a backup copy on a DVD-R DL so I am using that in the car and keep the original disk at home. They are dual-layer DVD's and there is about 8GB on each disk. They actually went from 1 to 2 disks (East and West) because they couldn't fit all data on 1 DVD anymore. I am using the 2009 DVD (25976806) and it works fine. Those come up on eBay quite often and are bit less expensive than ordering new from GM. It's interesting the DVDs for the 9-5 are also compatible with other GM models.(Corvette/Grand Prix/9-5/STS Navigation Disc). only lists disks for 2007 - 2009 models. It appears the nav unit hasn't changed from MY 2005 through 2009 so my best guess was a newer disk would work fine.
I was trying to find out if a newer version of the DVD would work with older units in the Saab 9-5. My nav DVD is the original that came with the car and is dated 2004.
