After a long time looking i finally settled on a new headunit for the Saab. The existing Kenwood sounded great and had rear USB fed into the glovebox but it didn't have DAB. I considered Continental/VDO for looks but after speaking with one of their main distributors i was told they wouldn't compete in sound quality with the Kenwood. So i've stuck with Kenwood, it sacrifices the rear USB but has DAB plus Spotify control (although Spotify are stopping support for this) and Alexa voice activation. It also does away with the chrome and has a nice firm feel to all the controls. It comes with a fairly horrible screen mounted aerial which i may still need to use but for now i've gone with a Eightwood aerial splitter. In theory it should let me use the existing pop up aerial without the need for the Kenwood stick on job.
I've done a quick install today and surprisingly the splitter actually works however i couldn't find 6 music plus a few others that i'll want. Tomorrow i'll get the bluetooth setup and see if i can actually get proper Spotify access and control through the headunit (picking playlists etc).
