    Not practical.

    The audio unit is tied in to a separate display, and to the wheel-mounted controls, and seems to be unique to SAAB/GM.

    Also, unless the audio unit is 'divorced' from the car with the workshop Tech 1 unit, it won't work in another 9-3, where it gets 'married' to the new car, again with Tech 1. So I'd need to visit the dealer to get it removed, and the buyer would need to do same to get it fitted.

    Fair enough, any way of fitting cooling to the existing unit?

    Best bet's skipping CDs altogether and seeing if it has aux-in or something, and using a standalone mp3 player to play the music through the in-car sound system.
