I'm not sure you've seen any double DIN radios fitted to a P1 Volvo other than the BluePower unit which is very expensive indeed and, from reviews on here, a pretty unfinished article that's badly supported by the vendor in Sweden.

You can't install any generic double DIN unit and even if you could bodge that you'd lose the car's climate controls.

Options for the radios on our cars are very limited indeed due to the complexity of the factory fit system that uses a series of fibre optically linked units in a modular fashion to create the audio system.

Options are pretty much BluePower, Pure DAB, Alpine EZI-DAB, Parrot or FM transmitter. The only one that integrates is the Bluepower and it's not without fault. The rest mainly connect to the existing AUX in or use FM transmission.
