99 Viggen questions

Hello all,
I'm new to this board, and new to the Saab family. I have always owned European cars, but a 99 Viggen is my first Saab. I had a few questions about the car I was hoping I could get answers to.
1) Check Engine Light comes on intermittently. I'm at 85,000 miles. I remember reading something about adding the Chevron Techron to the fuel system and I have done so. I only have put in super unleaded. The engine runs as smooth as can be, although when at idle I can hear a ticking noise in what seems to be the area in front of the passenger seat, and that ticking noise is intermittent as well. Any ideas?
2) Lighting system. All my lights are on, all the time. I understand it has daytime driving lights, but my headlights and taillights are on at all times if the car is on. Sometimes when I put the car in reverse, the passenger side side marker lights up. Also, is their a "euro switch" I can get so I can turn the foglights on and off regardless of the headlights being on and/or high beams being on?
3) Heat/AC system. Turns on full blast everytime I turn the car on even when turning it off prior to shutting the car off. My ex's 91 9000 does this as well. Is this common? Is it an easy fix? It's annoying.
4) Speakers. They suck. Will 6" speakers fit in the front doors?
5) Stereo. Does Saab have a newer factory stereo that fits that will integrate with the SID that I can upgrade to?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
