I have been giving some thought to having a satelite radio insatlled in my Volvo V70 XC wagon. Does Volvo make a satelite compatable radio that would fit nicely into the rather large space the existing radio uses(roughly 7 3/8" by 4 7/8")? If not, who does?

I installed the Jensen system with Sirius radio service. This model allows the use of the stock radio. I like this because of the standard look, and the Jensen unit has a nice corded input display device. It is large and readable, especially at night. The cord is long enough to pass around the car, so passengers can play with it. I located the receiver under the right front seat and mounted the display on the console with sticky tape.

I love the service, variety and selection. I do like XM's bigger product line, but they have some commercials - Sirius none, and I don't think I really need to bring the receiver portion out of the car, like Delphi's unit, which can be put into a boombox or home receiver. I get music from cable or over the computer anyway.

The install was not too difficult, but I did need to buy an additional cord not provided in the kit, for about 10 bucks.
