I’m having a hell of a time trying to located a dash kit to install a double din stereo after no luck ordered a single din kit but, the instructions are vague to say the least... I can’t located much of anything on the installation just a few random pics and vids of the finished process... has anyone swapped their stereo? Was it easy? Any hints or tips? Any help is greatly appreciated

I got my double-din receiver from Crutchfield. They have a fantastic site that lets you buy everything you need at once. I found their car-specific directions to be close to idiot-proof.

Radio should just snap in.

Buy the storage box from Volvo. It's bigger and aftermarket.
