Any ideas on which would be suitable? If not a radio, know of any means to get an aux option added for the stock stereo so I can use my phone.

I’d go to the Crutchfield web site and look up what’s a match for your Saab. I buy from them, the prices are ok, but the installation manual, adapter cable, and tech support (if needed) are priceless.
