Saab designed these cars without them for a reason, true, but unfortunately, I think they created the same problem they tried to resolve. People should drive while driving, not drink so for safety they omitted cupholders, however, I still drink when I drive and feel the lack of cupholders makes the problem worse. Nonetheless, I still do it.
I was going to install the cupholder/coin combo but decided against it. Actually, I did intall it but found that the clearance (or lack thereof) between the steering wheel and the extended cupholder posed to great a risk. I felt it was an "accident" waiting to happen.
I'd recommend you measure or cut up some cardboard to hold on the now existing radio to see what would happen if you installed and used the unit before relocating your radio.
Just my 2 cents.
