I installed one just recently. Be sure and check out the "Removing The Glovebox" photos in the "Fitting Hints" section of http://www.saabnet.com/sites/richard.bevan/
Also, I had to use a straightened out coat hanger to push in the tabs located in the four holes in the face of the radio to get it out (to get to the wiring harness on the back.)
One thing that I didn't know (and now have to go back in and fix) is that the FM Modulator will overpower almost everything else on the dial (some FM but mostly AM stations) so you need to be able to turn it off and on at will. Go to you local Radio Shack and find a surface mountable off/on switch that you can mount under the dash so you can turn the FM Modulator on and off when you need it. Also, when the Modulator is turned on, the sound quality from the stations you are receiving is not as good.
Oh yeah - one more thing. My FM modulator had antenna connectors that were long and thin (Motorola connectors) where the Saab antenna has a short stubby connector. I had to go to a local car stereo shop to find the adapter plugs going both in and out of the modulator.
