Default Should Volvo take another leaf out of Porsche’s book?

We know Volvo and Porsche have collaborated together in the past, so maybe Volvo should follow suit with Porsche and offer retrofit stereos? https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessori...ghlights/pccm/

This seems perfect for Volvo as many of their cars do not have standard din or double din units.

I fear it would be cheaper to change the car if Porche prices are the bench mark.

I wouldn’t expect Volvos alternative to be as pricey as Porsche, as Porsche’s systems will be built at a low volume. If Volvo made these for the V70 range, and maybe something for the first generation s40/v50, there would be loads of takers and could probably sell something for a reasonable price.
