In today's video I complete a full in-depth review and explanation on how to install a double din radio in a Saab 9-5. This one is particular to the 1998-2005 9-5, but its the same situation for the 2006-2009 9-5 model as well. Below are links to all products purchased and to the forums I used while researching. In addition, be sure to now the steering wheel controls are easy to program! I hope you enjoy this video as there wasn't many out there on this topic that were solid educational videos.

Great job! I just bought a double din face plate for my 02 Aero.haven't had a chance to install it yet. You do great work.

Wow. That’s a lot of work, but glad you sorted it. Satisfaction. I used to use an FM tuner, but got annoyed with white noise and re tuning when moving areas, so I plumbed in a Saab Blue unit. Cost around £80. Had to take unit out, and it feeds of CD multi changer feed. I use a (lovely) Brodit iPhone holder on dash, and Bluetooth to car. All steering wheel buttons work too. Total time, c 30-40 mins install. No change to dash unit looks👍🏻

Thanks for the overview. One thing I discovered is that the instructions Crutchfield provided do not mention the pre amp out connections. Rather, their instructions have you connecting Alpine harness speaker wires to the Metra speaker wires. I guess most people would have caught that error, but not me! After thinking it through, I realized the error. Splicing RCA male to the Metra speaker wires then connection the the RCA female on the Alpine solved the hiss and poor audio quality. And the PAC is a little finicky, too… Directions for that ALSO needed revisions, but now we are enjoying upgraded audio! Thanks again for the video!

I am new as subcriber, and it feels good for a former SAAB employee at SAAB market analys departement to see your entusiasm for the brand! Keep on Kyle!

Great Video. Thanks for making it. I have a question though... were you able to get 'Night Panel' to work with the Alpine? Cheers.

@Thehunter85 2 years ago

Amazing job :-) May I ask why for you need "switches for reverse wire ground hack"?
@remck1664 2 years ago

Great job Kyle. I’m shopping for this upgrade in my 1999 9-5 but can’t find the Alpine with a CD player that you mentioned at the very end of this vid. Do you have the model # to that stereo???
@unknownvinnumber 3 years ago

Nice fit too! Good that it works with the steering wheel controls, because sometimes that is left out

You doing great job man. My model for Saab has a 6 loader player and a DVD player back in the truck. But they don't display on the screen except for the 6 loader just for audio disk. I really need help with the connections.
