That's the factory navigation. It's a pretty rare option and was only available from 2004 and up. You could probably buy the navigation online, but it would be very expensive and would require a lot of rewiring.

It is a decent navigation system, especially when you keep in mind it is about 10 years old. But there are much newer, better and less expensive aftermarket systems these days so it is not really the best way to get something with a large screen and navigation in your car.
It is not impossible to change out the factory radio with the navigation unit but, as J-Rod mentioned, requires some rewiring and Tech2 configuration by a Saab dealer or specialist. It's more hassle than it's worth.
If you want to see what's involved in installing an aftermarket navigation or other audio system, check out this thread:
