When my indy Saab mechanic did it, it took all of 10 minutes with the Tech II tool. I think they charged me the going rate for 0.25 hour of labor.
This did not include installing the changer in the hatch. I had done that myself. It is pretty easy to install the bracket for the changer and attach the changer to the bracket. You have to make a couple of slits in the hatch liner with a knife in the back corner where it goes (and to get to the wiring harness tucked away behind the liner), but it was fairly simple.
If you can find a used changer to buy, you should be able to get it for a lot cheaper than the $495 or whatever Saab wants for a new one. If you keep your eye on eBay and on the classifides here, you can sometimes find one. Just be sure the seller has had it divorced from the Saab it came from.
Since you said you don't have a Saab dealer nearby, call local indy shops that work on european cars, and if they say the work on Saabs, ask if their technicians have and use the Tech II tool. If so, they should be able to perform the "marriage".
Good luck in your search. The changer is really nice to have for long trips!
Mark
