Subject: Re: installing cd changer in saab 900s '94.
Must be a trade-off for the standard kangaroo deflectors down there... ;-)
I had to run a wire from the trunk to the fuse box in my '94 for the trailer
hitch wiring (if you're going to put on a hitch, get it and the wiring kit
while you have the car torn up!). It was a lot easier to pull up the carpeting
and feed the wire than I thought it might be. Getting to the back of the radio
might be a bit more difficult, though (I haven't tried that yet)...
I'd buy the Saab mounting kit (I did for my '94). Otherwise, you have to
figure a good way to keep the CD changer from moving around and getting slammed
by other stuff in the trunk (or is it a boot there?). You might be able to
make yourself a bracket, but I think the price of the kit is reasonable.
