What are you wanting to know?

How to get the radio out? You have to pull out the ash tray and the fuse box behind it to get access to the radio mounting. Then it has some funky little clips on the sides. They are a little weird but not hard to figure out once you get the fuse box out of the way. It sounds bad, but it's really simple. Just a little weird.

I don't know myself because I have an 86 240 Wagon. Mine was super easly to get out and the new one wasnt that hard to put in...

I would reccomend going here: www.turbobricks.com -- Go to the forums and post in the MAINTIENCE AND NON PERFORMANCE area. TurboBricks is alllll volvo owners(lots of 'em), good information and I know someone there could help and quite possibly could have pictures(not that nismoron doesn't know what he's talking about, because it sounds right to me).

Anyways.............

hmmm not as simple as said, there are "hidden bolts" on the driver side underpanel and the passenger glove box, and the entire plastic covers have to be removed, but i was speaking in the mean of pluging a new radio in the 87 volvo, i know there are some mounting kits, special plugs, to do a bypass harness, because of the amp and the speaker configuration used in volvo, and also from what i've read, most people are totally impressed by the way their new radio's sound in the old volvo's sound system, specially with the powerfull amp's they stick in!!!
