Radio removal requires a special tool. This tool can be fashioned from a coat hanger. Snip a coat hanger so that you have two equal lengths of wire. Bend these into a U shape. Insert one U into the holes on each side of the radio face plate. (there are two holes aranged verticly on each side of the radio) By squeezing the wires the radio should slide out. You shouldn't need any further acess but if for some reason you do, removing the left speaker/vent cover from the dash will allow you to get a hand behind the dash to feed wires etc. Be sure to call Crutchfeild and order a Saab wiring harness adaptor. It's about ten bucks but is money well spent. It just plugs into the factory harness and then you cut and splaice on the adaptor not the car's wires. Patrick
