Parts?!? What parts? Everything you need comes with the stereo. What a rip
off! Basically a hidden install charge I guess.

Well stereo installation is not really very hard at all. Do you happen to
have a multimeter (electrical) by any chance? All you need is one that
measures Ohms (resistance) and dc voltage. But if you can find the wire
colors on the Saab harness and what they go to on the web, you won't even
need that.

Where are you in the world? If you were near me (Westford, MA) I could help
you put it in. Probably take no more than about 30 minutes.
