iPod to Saab car stereo

I have a 2000 9-3 with factory stereo and want to hook up my iPod so I can stop using the crappy FM transmitter. They don't have any adapters for the 2000 9-3, only 2003 and above. So, I think I'm going with the FM Modulater. But I'm not sure about the wiring on the stock radio. I need a 12v power source and a ground. Keep in mind, this is the first time I've messed with any behind-the-dash wires, so I want to get this right before I start. The pinout on the head unit looks basically like this...

----------------
Tel Gnd / Tel In / NC / CD Gnd Left / CD In Left /
Ebus1 / Ebus2 / NC / CD Gnd Right / CD In Right /
------------------
RR+ / FR+ / FL+ / RL+ /
RR- / FR- / FL- / RL- /
------------
NC / Tel Mute / Ant Trig / +30 /
NC / +15 / NC / GND /
------------

Has anyone done this, preferably on a similar model? And can you give me instructions on the correct wiring?
