Update on "dead" Clarion radio head unit

Hi All:
I posted earlier about my "dead, dead, dead" radio/cassette head unit. After getting a quote of $1500 from the local Saab dealer for a new one and a phone number for Clarion service, I decided to shop locally for a replacement. My choice was driven by a suspicion that after mailing the head unit to the service shop and waiting for who knows how long, they would tell me that I need to replace the whole thing anyway. Translation: I didn't want to wait.
I finally chose a top of the line (but discontinued and discounted) Sony AM/FM/Cassette receiver/pre-amp plus separate Alpine 75 watt per channel (4-channel) amplifier. It has a plug-in for a CD changer (like the original head unit), a remote and a ton of audio bells and whistles. The shop installed it and it sounds like a million bucks and looks pretty good. The double DIN hole in the dash is covered acceptably well. It does not display through SID unfortunately but has its own display which is green or amber switchable.
Thank you to all who offered suggestions!
Doug
