Headunit

A couple of years ago I bought a nice Blaupunkt head unit for my last car.

I'd been thinking about putting it in Ulla since the day I brought her home, and I finally got around to doing it...because I finally got the Clarion unit OUT of the dash using a butter knife.

There was no removal tool, and I wasn't going to wait for one to come in the mail.

I cut the wiring harness from my old car from the Blaupunkt harness, cut out the Claion from the dash, and hoped to God I could gook the wires up to the Saab wiring. Thankfully, my car came with all of the original manuals, including the audio manual, with a wiring diagram.

After hooking everything up, i found out that the metal sleeve from the Clarion was about 1mm too small (go figure) for mine new stereo to fit, so i just took out the sleeve and fit it in the dash, and thankfully it set in there just fine, flush with the dash.

When I started her up to test the radio, everything worked great, and sounded fantastic. One of my favorite features of this radio though is the ability to run without the car being keyed on, meaning I can use it without having any other accessory systems on.
