Found a 95? 850 scrapped with a manual tranny with the radio upgrade. The premium sound system. Will this work on a 98 s70? It is in great condition

Heads up. Guy said if it didnt work he would return it and it works amazing! Great deal for a new radio! Only problem is the tape wont come out? How would I fix that.

Yes, the SC815 is the same as the SC816 except for the different color on the faceplate.

There is a thread somewhere on here that gives repair instructions for replacing the bulbs in the radio units. This should allow you access to get at the tape which may have un-furled inside the unit.
