1999 Saab 9-3 Aftermarket Stereo Installation?

Hello, I just bought a 1999 Saab 9-3 and I was wondering if it is possible to replace the stereo with an aftermarket one, also the speakers as well. The reason I want to replace it is because the CD player doesn’t work, well it will play them but the disc gets stuck and won’t come out and 4 out of 6 of the speakers are blown out. I haven’t found any kind of kits online, I would like to use a cradle that fills in all the holes and snugly holds the new stereo and a wiring harness so none of the wiring has to be cut or spliced. Also would I still be able to use the power antenna that came with the car and the steering wheel controls. Thank You

Relatively simple to do, and there are plenty of providers who can provide you the stereo – although the integration may be a little tricky without the factory model. Finding one of hte same size may be tougher. However, the best company I know of to do this has also been the longest in the business – Crutchfield. Looking up your car (assuming it is a sedan with 6 factory speakers), the following link will give you options for outfitting your car:

Good luck with it. Crutchfield will have the answers more likely than anyone else out there.
