Introduction

I have a 2002 Saab 9-3, the last year they made the hatchback. It's a fun car that fits all sorts of kids and things, and it has bells, whistles, and dials to make my inner geek happy.

This is the story of how I made myself even happier by creating an inexpensive auxiliary-in for the radio; in other words, how I hooked my iPod up to my 2002 Saab 9-3. My car was made for the American market, but one of the sources I read claimed that the radios are the same no-matter where the car was sold, so this could work for you wherever you are.

I'll explain the process in a number of posts, starting with... some background!
