I can find the facia adaptors but cant find anything about how to connect the new stereo into existing looms. any advice please

Nothing is impossible but the task you've chosen is nearly that. The Volvo system is fibre optic and does not lend itself easily to such modifications.

If you want phone integration most people opt for Parrot, GROM Audio or Dension Gateway 500 systems.

thanks,

looked at the parrot and may go for it but would prefer a double din touch screen if poss, do you know where the amp is located? I can't find any info on this car! some people seem to think various locations in the boot and others say under the seats.
from what I can work out the amp is the main stumbling block, can I bypass it and connect the new unit directly to the speaker cables?
