Bluetooth audio options (Saab)

[dub]

Folks, the Saab has a Parrot 3000 Evo installed which doesn't allow audio playback without some tinkering. I searched an old thread on here and saw the work entailed.

Are there any other options to install something? Don't want to replace the head-unit as I like the OE look. I've read up about the Bury CC9048 being similar to the 3000 Evo along with the ability to play music.

Any other suggestions?

How about one of the cigarettes lighter Bluetooth transmitters. Just set it to a radio station number that isn't being used and it will play through that. I got one from eBay for a tenner and it actually works perfectly. No hissing/static noise from it either. I just have an old phone with a stack of music on it and it plays away nicely

I've had a couple of cheap ones and now have two of these: https://www.ama zon.co.uk/Anker-SmartCharge-Wireless-Transmitter-Bluetooth/dp/B0719SNR5N?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_13 (had to put a space in it because RMS was putting media tags on it...)

Definitely worth paying the extra imo.

Does the car have an aux in?

It does indeed yep

It does indeed yep

Pure highway dab and hands free does Bluetooth playback as well. Got one in the Scaab, does the job.

Then something like this if you want buttons

Amazon product ASIN B075SWJMJ7
Or if you just want to use the controls on your phone:

Amazon product ASIN
I use something similar in my Insignia and it works perfectly

You wouldn't want to put an aftermarket headunit in if its a pre-facelift 9-3SS anyway. It's a headache

I've just ordered an FM transmitter myself, seems by far the easiest and cheapest way.
