Hi,
I'm looking for a 'new' radio for my Saab 99 ('83) and I'd like to know if there are / were some manufacturers who delivered radios to saab in the early 80s or late 70s...
With best regards from Hamburg

Blaupunkt and Phillips are two.
cheers christian
My 1985 T16S had a "Saab" badged Clarion radio Cassette in it, with 4 small Philips speakers.
One of the Saab sites has a contemporary brochure up from the early
80s that includes radio options - the Blaupunkt New York is probably one of the highest rated, though it needs a separate amplifier. Just fitted one to my '85 car, and it looks *right* in a way that more modern stuff doesn't. Also a very, very good radio circuit - pulls in twice the channels the previous RDS-equipped radio could.James
Wish I had seen this a couple of months ago. Just fitted a blaupunkt modena that really is terrible as a tuner. Picks up far less stations than the cheap Panasonic that I had in previous to the Modena (would have kept the panasonic but I needed an AUX in option for the CarPC project I'm working on).
