If yours is a P3 model with the "Floating Console" you are rather limited in upgrade options as it's not the conventional DIN/Double DIN design.
The only upgrade available for 2008-2012 models (pre Sensus) is made by BluePower:

Have you been through your own car to check the antennae & connections are all correct?

I just removed my OEM stereo and installed a Kenwood single DIN aftermarket radio. The wiring harness fits P3 models and is a plug 'n play upgrade. There's also a dash kit but I found it useless on a "08 V70.
That said, read about my experience here:
