You're kidding, right? Crutchfield lists more than 200 head units that work in my '99 9-3, and more than 60 that work in a '96 900 like the one the original poster has. They throw in the wiring harness and a DIN removal tool. They do include a note on the '96 that says you'll have to fabricate a mounting kit and offer a toll-free number for expert advice: 1-888-955-6000 On the other hand, if the original head system is working, it's simpler and more cost-effective to just add amps and replace the speakers for more power, range and clarity. Adding a CD changer in the trunk is also a fairly simple matter, if you buy the right one. Again, Crutchfield has it. They are a bit pricey, but service is good and they do a better job of hand-holding than any other online vendor. There's a very good guide to upgrading audio systems in the 900 and 9-3 at http://www.saabnet.com/sites/richard.bevan/ "Bjorg Olafson" <bonopsamse.net> wrote in message news:D9MLa.258424$VP.52356049nopsamter.neo.rr.com... > > "'nuther Bob >" <<nonenopsam.com> wrote in message > news:3d7rfvkc6osg2k0oj2j5lcsgn4gpne8q3anopsamcom... > > On Fri, 27 Jun 2003 06:53:54 GMT, in alt.autos.saab you wrote: > > > > >Ok, I've finally had it with my radio now that the cad-changer wont come > > >online anymore.
