I just had the dealer install an XM kit in my 04 Aero...
Be aware:
a. FM/AM reception badly affected when XM unit is powered up (turn XM off for better FM/AM reception)
b. Sound is below CD - maybe equal to best FM signal (Atlanta, GA)
c. Signal Loss - Not an issue locally
d. Ergonomics/Ease of Use - N/A !?
As an Aero Academy graduate and generally overly-aggressive driver, I can't tell you how dangerous and distracting this thing is.
Even if you don't slip into a zombie-like trance when reading the display -- it's way too far away.
And you better be double-jointed if you have a manual manual transmission and you want to operate the jog dial.
There is a remote -- just no way to secure it (and use it) while driving.
I.E. It clips nicely to the sun visor but it won't transmit from the sun visor.
e. Cost - Price has dropped ($279parts / $279labor)
XM is offering a $30 rebate but you can't get it without an original UPC code from the box. The dealer says there isn't one (not retail packaged from vendor to Saab) and Saab USA refuses to respond to my inquiries.
Good luck!
