Default HU 850 and Aftermarket Radios

Hi all hope this is in the right place it’s my first post
Admin move if not correct please
Right got the usual random on/off problem with my HU 850 I’ve been told it’s not practical to repair it and the prices of secondhand ones I just wouldn’t pay
The CD works fine all day long but not the radio so I do have a new old stock Sony player.
Thing is nobody seems to either want to fit or can’t fit another stereo the Sony I have is a WX9800T with a 16 pin plug and 6 RCA for audio out and aerial

Got lots of questions before I go ahead and try myself here goes:-

What cables would I need? I’m thinking Volvo to iso and iso to Sony plus RCA to din for the audio

How would I connect the two din plugs on the Volvo to a new stereo?
What are the two din plugs on the Volvo actually for?

Should I just leave it altogether and just use the CD player.
The car is a V70 2005 D5 btw
Thanks

I know you say it's been said it's not worth repairing the old unit but I can vouch for this company http://www.caraudiorepairspecialists.co.uk

Used them last year to repair my father's Suzuki combined Radio CD unit when it would hold CD's ransom then turn from CD to Radio on its own.

I used a postal service but they're not too far from Bury.

Might be worth an ask to save wasting time, money and effort/frustration on fitting the aftermarket unit.
