i just got my '02 9-5 aero wagon outfitted with a new stereo and navigation unit, along with two rear monitors. take a look at the front panel and the custom-made and dyed trim, it makes the unit look pretty darn close to stock!

here are close-up pictures (off and on) of the head unit and navi unit:

here is a picture of one of the rear monitors, it was mounted onto the back of the driver's side seat:

here is a picture of all the monitors on (with family guy):

and finally, another awesome feature is that each monitor can have a different input. in this picture, the front passengers are watching family guy, the left rear passenger is playing xbox, and the right rear passenger is watching tv:

now i need to refill my bank account :roll:

Looks good, good job!

:D Nice AV system. I guess you can use the NAV as a getaway assistance for the bank you are gonna have to rob to pay off the system. ;-). Did you do it? What are the components?

That looks like a nice install. Especially recessing the rear panels in the back of the front seats.

Have you upgraded the speakers or running standards?

Alex

i am still using stock H/K speakers that came with the car, it's the upgraded version that comes with the aero touring package, i believe.

the front AV components are both pioneer, the head unit is a pioneer avh-p7500dvd, the nav unit is a pioneer avic-88dvd system. i must say, the nav system is pretty awesome. to find a restaurant or any other business, all you need is the telephone number, which you type in, and voila, your destination and route is set. it's much better than older nav units where you actually have to type in an address.

the rear tvs are accelevision 7" elites. actually i had never heard of accelevision till the guy at the store recommended them, but the picture quality on them is among the best i've seen, bar none. also, the monitors swivel, sorta like in airplane cabins, which is great considering the unique seats and headrests that saabs have.

and yea, it was a very tight fit, considering the supports in the seat. the monitors themselves are slimmer than most to begin with.

i also put in a av input and power inverter, too hook up just about any av equipment in the car.

total cost for everything was around $5K. :o

HAHAHAHA I got the same squash air freshener!!! But it doesn't get rid of the stinky AC :cry:

haha that's pretty funny! at first the air freshener was way too strong, so i always left the vent closed, but it's only been a couple months and now with the vent open you can hardly smell it anymore... :roll:

Was any attention paid to retaining OnStar and telephone functionality?

no, actually i didn't bother to get the adapter to retain onstar or telephone capabilities. the way i see it, i can get it done later if i want. besides, the navi unit gives better directions than onstar, although the safety feature is nice.
