Just 3 parts to fit - sensor on the brake pedal (an extra one on the clutch if it's manual transmission?), a different indicator stalk, and a motor unit under the bonnet/hood that attaches near the battery and connects to the throttle. The wiring should all be there. I've not done this myself yet though so bear this in mind. You can get a new kit from Saab (in the UK they are around 250-300) or find one from a breakers or ebay. If you get a used one it needs to be post 1995 I think as this is when Saab changed from a vacuum cruise system. > > It has a Saab radio, and separate single disc player, can a changer be > fitted?
