All 2000 Saturn L-Series and S-Series vehicles

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide proper service information about radio upgrades for the Saturn L-Series and S-Series vehicles.

The L-Series and S-Series designs utilize the same two radio levels that are physically interchangeable:

2000 S-Series Audio Systems

The S-Series has two different speaker designs:

^ Base speaker system (UQ0)

^ Up-level speaker system (U79)

S-Series vehicles with factory installed AM/FM Base radio (UM7 and U1C) come equipped with the base speaker system (UQ0). If upgrading from a base radio (UM7 and U1C) with the base speaker system (UQ0), the speakers should also be upgraded to the Up-level speaker system (U79) to assure appropriate sound quality.

2000 L-Series Audio Systems

The L-Series has two different speaker designs:

^ Up-level speaker system (U78)

^ Advanced speaker system (U67)

The L-Series Up-level speaker system (U78) is designed for use with all radios. The L-Series advanced speaker system (U67) is designed to only be used with Up-level radios (UP0 and UL0). Base radios (UM7 and U1C) cannot be used with the advanced speaker system (U67). To assure proper sound quality, matched systems should be used.
