There are special adapter cables DIN-to-RCA manufactured specifically for SAAB. The easiest approach is to locate one of those. I first saw one sold on ebay, but missed it.
I have then searched the web and found some site in Germany that sells them. The shipping was a bit expensive. The total came to about $30.
That cable's DIN connector was FEMALE. It is meant as an adaptor at the end of a regular 8-pin DIN-to-DIN cable. So, to make the complete connection, you will need both the DIN-to-DIN cable and the adaptor DIN-to-RCA.
Your alternative is to get any 8-pin DIN cables on ebay ($2), get some RCA cable, cut them both, and then join together. This is somewhat delicate, as the wires inside the DIN cable are so incredibly thin. Soldering them requires much patience.
While attaching the wires, I found out that most pins are simply unused.
I'd speculate that a $1.50 5-pin DIN connector from RadioShack would have probably worked.
I believe the major headache will the turn-on wire. If I remember correctly, it is the middle pin. The 5-pin RCA from RadioShack may not have the middle pin. Or at least it will require opening up the wire and soldering it in, which will be a major pain.
